No matter what VM say. It used to be a company gave a decent service. No with the price increases, and no added NEW channels.

I don't think the company is worth it. You cannot keep putting up prices and still expect customers to keep paying it.

Well I'm paying £138 for Full House TV plus 200meg BB. I've been meaning to phone for a while and with the latest price increase now is the time.

We already covered this before.

They do have a good service, its just expensive now and also there were new channels, just not to your liking.

Still I am happier, now I have Sky.

They keep changing prices/bundles/discounts so often its difficult to determine if you're on a good deal (deliberate i'm sure). e.g. i'm getting my extra box free as part of the deal when upgrading to Tivo. This was dependent on being on the XL tv pack. Don't want XL (full house) any longer but I'll lose the extra box discount if I downgraded.... Also I'm on 150MB BB speed - this doesn't appear as a package on their ordering page. All this must confuse VM aswell, they've made it so complicated.

I've just got a new deal from the big K one I was on last year...

100mb BB, XL TV and weekend calls £60.99 for 6 months £69.99 for the last 6 months.

However they have taken the 2nd box offline as they said it was part of my old package deal (standard hd box) so I'm guessing it doesn't come as part of the XL package but the package as a whole?

I called VM today as my Sky sports speical was coming to an end. Currently playing £80 excluding line rental for Sky sports and movies, XL,vivid 200 and talk unlimited. Got the same package for £68, also paid my line rental up front £184 equates to £15.33. I am absolutely delighted, I have never not managed to get a good deal well done VM.

15 months ago I negotiated 34 pounds for M TV with Tivo, 50 broadband and phone free at weekend. It was now going to be about 44 pounds.
I phoned retentions and was immediately offered the same package (including broadband remaining at the recently increased 70) for 35 pounds for 6 months then 38 pounds.
Only downside is a new 12 month contract.
Happy with that. Price decrease rather than increase. Only on the phone for about 3 minutes (plus 10 minutes to get through)

that's what happened to me. When I phoned to query I was told 70mb does not exist anymore.

oliver1948uk · 07-10-2016, 12:20

I specifically asked if I would remain on 70. He said yes and wrote notes on my file. I shall wait and see

Well after a couple of weeks I must say the sky w viewing experience is great. Missing the broadband though. Downloading games on PS4 is painful.

Are you on WiFi? as the PS4 wireless is pretty poor. My X1 still downlods pretty fast on Sky Fibre.

I paid my line rental last January for the year, So can they put the price up before the year is up?

No you've paid in advance thus avoiding any increase untill next January.
