New V+ deal

Anyone heard about a new V+ offer that is in the pipeline ? Maybe dropping the £5 subscription for non XL TV packages or lowering the £150 installation ?

Well chuffed and now im paying less each month. Well done VM

How the hell did you manage that?
Every time I speak to VM I get some little s*!t that couldn't be less helpfull!

Half the time they don't even want to talk to you, never mind help you.

Upgrade to the VIP Package? All we paid was a £25 installation fee.

Are you sure your not telling pokies. Most Virgin employees will tell you that the computer systems wont process the order unless you pay the £150. The only way to get it for free is if a manager credits you which is unlikely

I also heard that, unless the charge is made the order can not and will not go through.

You really are acting like you work there. So i will ask again DO you ?

Yes, but are you still paying the monthly charge for them, have the VIP deal or have some special retentions deal which has waived the monthly charge????

Nope, i didnt pay a single penny. The only thing i couldnt get them to do was give us 2 V+ boxes, they said it was not possibel to have 2 in the same house yet, although i have been reading somewhere that this has been achieved. We already have cable up and downstairs so wanted both boxes swapped out for V+ ones.
