Virgin Media

[meldrew]

Been offered this by one of there reps at half price 64.99 for 12 months the works, all tv channels, broadband and telephone. Was too good a deal top refuse halfing my sky bill.

Anyone had any problems with them or got anything good to say about them?

 

[TCIB]

No complaints from me, very happy with them.

Everything, sky sports movies all the channels, XL phone package and the highest broadband package. Sounded too good to be true but I rang them up and they confirmed it. I just had to credit my account with £25. And get a box in another room as well.

Do you have the phone number?

 

[bluestevei]

never had a big problem with virgin, got the xl tv with sky sports, 30 megs broadband and phone, phone is can talk for a hr and then put phone down anytime and also can phone aus for 2p/min

Do you have the phone number?

Sorry no, it was a rep of theirs that visited. He said it was a special offer in the area, I live in Salford. You could always give them a try and say you've been offered similar and see what they can do.

You were paying £130/ month with Sky?

Assume that was the package which including a nosh of Georgie Thompson every Tuesday afternoon?

It`s on their website, classed as one week wonder. It used to be 6 months half price, but now its 12 and £75 off online. Very tempted myself.

Alas no, but my bill everything included was about £110 per month. Just under half saving but its better than a kick in the balls!

i've had a lot of probs with sky but it seems every big company i deal with aren't interested in getting things sorted.comes down to money i suppose.

 

[Bigga]

Does anyone know of the way to get out of a contract with them?

Is it reporting 3 different faults in a month or something??

 

[kaz7]

Just looked into it and they say they cant supply me with tv as im not in a cable area,i have sky perfectly well and broadband with no probs so i dont get why there is a problem.looks like im stopping with sky afterall !

Virgin are 18 month contracts whereas sky 12. Is that right? Sky is cheaper per month for me after the discount so with the longer contract the saving on any offer virgin give wipes itself out with the longer contract.
