very annoyed with virgin
have had virgin/NTL for 7 years, not once have I called to ''cancel'' to get a better deal, phoned up today as sky are offering me a good deal on all 3 services. I simply asked if thye could have a look at the account see what they could do - NOTHING!!!
just give them my 30 days notice. Is this normal for virgin not even TRY?

Re: very annoyed with virgin
Presumably you selected the "thinking of leaving us" option when you called as that gets you through to the team that can offer discounts. But there has to be a point which it is not economic for companies to offer price cuts. Most bundles are allready at low levels.

Re: very annoyed with virgin
If that really is for the same level of service, I'm not surprised they didn't want to match it.
Perhaps you should post details of what you get from VM and what Sky are offering in case you've overlooked something?

Then if that price is correct and the level of service is the same there should be no argument should there ?

Re: very annoyed with virgin
£53 With Sky should get...
All entertaiments packs al HD channels in line with your subs,line rental and upto 20Mb internet.
TV packs £24
HD Pack £10.25
Line rental plus upto 20Mb internet £19.
VM would also get you ESPN but sky would give you more HD and few more channels and Sky Atlantic.
The VM price is £55.90(I choose 10Mb as the 30Mb puts it over £60) but you would probably hit atleast 9Mb, Sky could be anywhere from 6Mb to 19Mb

Re: very annoyed with virgin
The activation fee is a one off payment so not £87 every month then?

The bundle builder quotes £81 but he has added SS1 in HD so its £14.50 for SS1 and £7 for the HD.
Your bundle
£27.00
Virgin phone line
£13.90
Your extras
£21.50
Total
£62.40
£62.40 for first 6 months
£81.40 after that
