Re: Virgin cuts MOBILE broadband to a fiver
I have phoned twice now, both times i have been told we will phone you back, and you guessed it they never phoned back. So going to sign up with the 3g one tomorrow instead.

Either they're getting really cheap capacity from T-Mobile (or whoever the real network operator behind their virtual network is), or it's a loss-leader.

Well I notice it's limited - 1GB compared to the other offers, and since it's only available to L and XL broadband users at £5 - I guess the reasoning is it will be used as top-up facilities not full download as it were.
A good price, and if my train company didn't offer free WiFi I would have gone for the offer!

Re: Virgin cuts MOBILE broadband to a fiver
what a complete farce.... they c**ked up my order, lost my bank details then setting it up was just as bad, they told me i was on payg even tho i gave them dd details 3 separate times, they couldnt even get registering and getting adult access to sites authorised.. needless to say i have cancelled my contract, asked for a refund and now get my mobile bb from vodafone at 7.50 per month with free usb modem, it was registered and working right away, and i get 3gig per month.

Re: Virgin cuts MOBILE broadband to a fiver
Before anyone complains, remember that you have to pay at least £15/£30 for the Broadband install.
It's no different than if you take out more than one cable service at the same time. You only pay one set up/install fee.
Take them about seperately and you pay for each install

The free modem with T-mobile is only avalaible if you sign up to a 24 month contract. Otherwise you have to pay for it.
And the monthly price for the 3Gb option is exactly the same at £15 a month
