Hi All,
Just a heads up that Virgin Media are putting the prices of their TV packages up again, this means that since signing a contract approx 8 months ago, they have increased my monthly bill by £4.50 in February and now a further £3 on 1st September.
The good news is that as a result of these increases you are free to leave Virgin even if mid-way through a contract. So if you've been looking at some of the sky offers or even freeview then now is the chance to act and get rid of the money-grabbing ****** and ditch Virgin once and for all.
Anyone wanting to cancel has got until 31st August to give their notice.
I've just told that to their customer services. I'm not prepared to pay for channels that they are forcing on me that I don't watch. They've given me an 8 month credit to my account. Call them up.
I've just called them and told them im not prepared to pay an extra £3 per month for a sports channel I'm not going to use. They've added a £3 per month credit to my account for the next 8 months.
Fooking hell another £3 a month that's the 2nd time this year its gone up for me robbing CU*TS!
I left virgin joined sky pay 40 a month full tv pack phone broadband
Might cancel the phone and TV though as never use the landline anymore even have free 08 numbers with my mobile now.
@idrobI haven't had a land line for over 6 years, and I haven't missed it one bit
You get a discount for Virgin Broadband if you have the phone, works out cheaper than without the phone I think
I took up sky's offer of 50% discount for Virgin customers, I have full package now for about £35pm less than when I was fully Virgin
@idrob
yeah i been thinking of doing this, but i dont pay much more for the lot and it keeps her indoors happy with her tivo box
Focus
Her indoors as we call them did give me a little hassle when I cancelled our landline, but when I gave her a new mobile loaded with WhatsApp, Viber, LINE, KakaoTalk, and Skype she never mentioned it again.
Plus all our family and friends are on the same mobile network as us, so all calls are free. And now even the 0800 numbers are free
As for the TV, ever since we got the T8, I don’t think we watched a single SD program or film. So there’s definitely no need for that either.
