Actually i'm not going to bite.

I've done 2 referrals in recent years and was paid within a couple of weeks.

I recommend products/services for friends and family all the time without getting a bonus, but if that product/service had a scheme I'd use it. But the recommendation would happen anyway. I wouldn't be using the scheme if I wasn't at least pretty happy. If it were borderline-average it wouldn't happen.

The money, but I didn't realise how crap they would be. At this time they hadn't generally reached the depths of crapness that they have today.

Didn't like his friends much if he recommended a service that he hates just to get money for the referral

Fifty quid is fifty quid, mate

I bet OB wouldn’t refer anyone to a plethora of linear channels for £50.

The first compliment you have ever given me, jfman. I am deeply touched.

If you read it properly you'll see that that was not the case.

The rapid deterioration in VM CS started after LG bought the company, it wasn't perfect before but now it's absolutely abysmal.

[OLD BOY]

I think some areas are not good if reports on here are correct, but others (like mine) seem to be fine.

I did recommend Virgin to some acquaintances of mine in Uxbridge some years ago and they had abysmal service, which was embarrassing. I later read of the fact that they were living in an area where the service was known to be bad. Had I known that at the time, I would definitely not recommended them.

I often jest about VM calling them a horror show etc but it is not trolling i'm just merely having some humour at VMs expense.
To their credit they have come a very long way over the past 10 years and are currently testing 2gbs speeds on bb, a streaming tv service amongst other things.
Just wanted you guys to know despite one posters nasty comment i don't troll i jest and all info i post is posted in good faith on what info i see/get.

I would like to see an alternative arrangement from VM where you can still get a premium, cost-effective broadband service and an excellent choice of streamers instead of pay-tv channels. If it was well designed and reliable, I’d move over to that in a heartbeat.

They would need to have all the decent streamers on there, though, plus ad-free versions of ITV Player, All4 and My5.

Somehow, I think I will be disappointed!

Already happening get yourself a decent streaming device such as ROKU, Firetv or google tv then if available in your area sign up to one of the fttp services such as Hyperoptic, Vodafone, Gigaclear etc.
Or just get a 5G hub service from someonle like 3.

[OLD BOY]

I have a Roku and Amazon Fire Stick already but my wife doesn’t like the wires coming down from our HDMIs (our telly is on the wall).

My hope is that VM will provide an offer that suits me, but I’m not that optimistic as yet.

Do you own the forum? No only one person trolling here and it isn't me.
Who are you to say who can and who can't post on here? I actually post information regarding VM and if you stop trying to big the big man and look around you'll see there are sub forums.

Funny thing regarding VM it is available at my neighbours either side of me but not in my block lol, typical VM

[RichardCoulter]

He's said in the past that he believes that those who don't use cable services shouldn't post on this forum. I recall Paul telling him to button it, or words to that effect.
