If you want the services its ok

here is a spec list for the laptop if you were buying one you can get better for the value but seeing as its kinda free http://www.dealtime.co.uk/xPF-Hewlet...50-Notebook-PC

It not available to any existing customers who are with VM at present.

But, I know many of VM existing customers rather to upgrade to 50Mbps next year. And as a free laptop for any new customers mean they cannot upgrade to 50Mbps until after 18months contract.

Thats the choice you make.

If you want the free laptop, you know you cannot upgrade. If you think you may want to upgrade, don't go for the laptop offer.

You can always upgrade, the Terms and Conditions only prohibit downgrading. I know from personal experience you can upgrade within your minimum term.

sounds like a good offer but as always they screw the existing customers they should give us something for a change customers that have been loyal to them and not asking for anything in return

jkenney · 11-12-2008, 18:18

i thought virgin had said all their new customer offers were available to existing customers who upgraded? or did i get that wrong?

No they said that all of their bundles were avalaible. i.e the core prices, but to get them you may have to upgrade or add a service
