Seriously? Would anyone pay more than the listed price for anything?

I know I've been accused of being a "VM fanboi" but really?!

Try reading it again!

The other point being, of course, that I'm not actually paying the VM price listed; though only around a tenner less; which is a little annoying

[Gary L]

So why are you annoyed that you're paying £10 less?

It's weird

Is it too expensive and you want it cheaper?

[carlwaring]

Perhaps annoyed was the wrong word. Was just hoping for a bigger discount. You know, what with me being paid by VM to defend them on forums 24 hours a day

(Please note the heavy sarcasm in the above comment.)

I got this offer deal for 1 year with free 1TB HD box with full sky packages with HD too for just £32.87 a month plus £10 sky unlimited fibre broadband up to 76 Meg with unlimited sky talk with line rental. That's prove that virgin media are evil greedy too expensive and still twices price increase in the last 10 months (April 2012 and February 2013)

Yes Carl and the master very alike it seems.

[carlwaring]

He, of course is the master-debater. Or something like that


(Been wanting to use that line for a while now )

Of course that is a staff "family and friends" offer and not available to the public. I don't know what VM's "Mates Rates" are but you will need to know to compare like with like.

Just had same email ....
Well the Free Double speeds are NOT FREE ... No complains but just hope at least to finish fast the work, so all we can have it very soon

Hmm. They forgot to mention that in the price rise docs I've seen. *******.

You don't need a BT land-line so the cost of a BT landline is irrelevant.

So to correctly compare the two you have to include a VM landline in any price comparison.

No, you're talking irrelevant rubbish again.

So you can BT Infinity with Sky Line Rental, or Sky fibre broadband with a TalkTalk line rental?

[qasdfdsaq]

Well you could technically but that's beside the point. You don't pay BT line rental when you have Sky broadband with a Sky landline.

No but you still pay a line rental - which is going up in price
