Virgin Media contract ending

[silverdale]

Last year I told Virgin I was leaving. I recieved the box to send the gear back and it was then I got the call to renegotiate a new deal.
My new deal ends on the 17/03/2020 then it's due to go back up to £59.50. The contracts solely in my name, what's my best option ?

 

[Kryton]

Do the same again. Tell them youve been looking for prices from cheaper suppliers

Ive done it for years, theyve never given me any hassle on the phone, they have always find me a cheaper price there and then., of course your tied into another 12 month contract though.

Phone them up again mate and tell him you're leaving I've been doing it for the last 5 years and kept on the same deal

 

[silverdale]

Did they sort it there and then or did you say I'm leaving then wait for retensions to call you back ?

Before you ring, check the prices of packages from other providers (talktalk usually the cheapest), then you can use these prices to drive a better deal..

And that was my experience with Virgin LOL

I rang them and they offered me £38:50 as opposed to nearly £60 but the £60 was with 200mbps bband...

The £38:50 means dropping the bband to 100mbps a TiVo medium (wife that to record her crap) and phone talk weekends.
Not sure if that's good or bad

100mb broadband and talk weekends is £25 mate. Just to give you an idea of the prices.

Fook that I'll cancel. The contracts is solely in my name. Can the wife sign up if I cancel and she signs as a new customer ?

Should beable to mate
Although its not very often you get to the end of your notice period before they offer you a better deal.
You just have to stand you ground and see it through

The price FangFace quotes does not include TV and SilverDale has a Tivo box .. ?

It's the TiVo that rags me off, she won't get rid. I suggested getting a freeview with a HD as it's all the soaps and Dancing on Shite she records but oh no.

We have 100 megs, basic tv and anytime calls £35, that was offered by a Scottish lass, she even got rid of the £19 per month line rental. So now paying £3 a month less and zero line rental.

Dont think any ISP is aloud to charge line rental anymore it has to be a total price
