Free V+ box
Now would'nt it be a refreshing idea for Virgin media to tell all the ars@@ that are blocking the switch boards for the last two weeks "threatening to cancel" to bugg@@ off then and give us loyal nice quite types "free V+ boxes and great deals" as a reward for our loyalty and keeping quite through what honestly must be a knightmare time for Virgin ...
can you imagine what it would be like if we all threw our dummies out of the pram at the same time !!!
Heres hoping

Re: Free V+ box

Re: Free V+ box
If they were to discount installation I think that people would go for it!
Let's think... 10% discount per year of being a customer... That sounds good!

So then as a customer since March 1990 I'm due a refund of 70%, what I'd like to see is a discount of the MONTHLY bill for every 5 years with them.

Well, i phoned up yesterday and talked to a man who knocked £20 off my bill for the next 6 months. He said he couldn't give me the V+ box though and that i would have to phone back up and ask about that. The only reason i've not phoned back up is that i thought it would cost me £75 to get it installed.
I will try phoning today though and see what they can do.
Thanks for the info.

This site only fuels the 'complain until you get something free' mentality.. I think is a joke. People have no intention of actually canx hey just want a few quid off... THEN they have the nere to complian about how long its taking to get through. Then when the company is giving so much away in 'deals' revenue is reduced by Billions people complian when the network cant be upgraded or they cant have a fault tech out as quickly as they would like.

Re: Free V+ box
If nobody was getting the free stuff then ok, but i'm not going to pay the full price when others aren't. All i did was phone up and ask nicely if i had any chance of getting a sweetener.

Re: Free V+ box
I get my V+ box on the 10th + box putting in upstairs. No charge for installation for me, and I double checked to make sure there was no charge

I doubt it..You'll just have to let him know directly...without whinging or moaning.
