Re: Virgin Media price increase

To all of you who've replied thanks for taking the time to give me such sound advice. I will now start looking around for better deals and hopefully use that information to negotiate a better deal with Virgin.

Sky offering a free 43 inch tv with sky glass at mo, if you need a free TV also….

I would look around for deals from Sky, BT etc ready for when you call them as they usually know what’s available elsewhere. Say because of costs your going to use free view and threaten to cancel, if they still don’t offer you anything suitable then cancel, you have 30 days to change your mind and I’d bet they come back with a better offer after you cancel.

My sky is only cheap but managed to get £7 off and sky movies and box sets thrown in.

I just phoned Virgin and got a result ! They were asking for over double what we're currently paying (£34 to £74 per month) but I managed to negotiate an increase of just £2 per month, which is fair.

Thanks to everyone who have taken the time to offer such good advice 👍

I always think as long as your happy with what your paying then it’s a result. There will always be someone with a better deal.

Good news.

Re: Virgin Media price increase

mines going up from £33 to £68...

or in fact no its not as im leaving, i should have taken up bt fibre for £29.99 when they knocked on my door the other day, before that i saw the bt vans in the street and they seem to be hooking everyone up and i thought sod that im good with what i have
just so happen that i didnt get on like a house on fire with the pushy rep who knocked the door so they had my back up from the off

but since looking at this thread and my bill im off... unless of course they offer me some incentive when i call

Too many channels to choose. I just haven’t the time to watch the Dr Pimple Popper nowadays.
