This relates to this posting which is expired for some reason though that was for broadband, this is for fibre-optic. I followed the steps posted by Blacksky200 on page 21 which states -
I have managed to buy the deal, with 12 month contract and the £50 credit just today.
In addition £60 cashback (TCB) has also tracked.
So, unless I have understood it wrong, I am paying £114 for the whole year, including the line rental. That's £9.50 pm.
12 month cost breakdown:
Cost of BB = £60 (5 x 12)
Line Rental = £164 (paid on the phone after buying)
Sub-Total = £224
Less new customer code= £50
Sub-Total = £174
Less TCB = £60 (*not guaranteed)
TOTAL = £114 or 9.50/month
You also may still be able to get it.
1. Go to the direct deal link (thanks to aaqeel): http://store.virginmedia.com/quick-checkout?productCodes=Deepest_US_BB50&postcode=&buspart=uk_afl_a_cable_na_na_trade_direct_uSwitch%20Communications_generic&tduid=08d264deaf73b674b1dfc79a8e19ecd3&CMP=DFA:1921795:115854716:288871583:0
(thanks to aaqeel)
2.On the page that comes up, confirm the details such as 12 month contract etc.
3. At the bottom of the page add one of the New customer codes mentioned in the main post.
4. Continue to the Review and Pay page, but DO NOT 'Place the Order'
5. Go to Quidco or TopCashBack in a new browser tab and go on the Virgin website through that (it will open the new tab with the 18month deal.
6. Go back to your original 'Review and Pay' page and 'Place the order'. The order confirmation will confirm the 12 month contract.
7. Call the customer service on 0800 0527588 and confirm your order and pay for your line rental up front - £164
I followed this and put in the code (VMBRVOU50) and it went through, and I now have conformation of the order with the self installation package selected (VMVOU50 is another possible code). This is by far the best Fibre deal I could find as I have changed from BT.
My calculations are line rental and broadband at £22.99pm totaling £275.88 less the £50 credit = £225.28. This is £18.82 pm.

Unfortunately, no Vermin Media in my immediate area, according to the checker.

The company you're looking at sounds like dodgy company, I would stay away from them. Its probably just as well, that company does not provide BB in your area too.

Just be aware that your not likely to get the Topcashback if you use the £50 code according to their terms....

speedtest.net to test your speed. Always had pretty gd speeds from vm. Missed the uswitch deal the other day, they had taken it off just after I had phoned up and cancelled! Planned to take this out tonight after seeing your post today but the loyalty department have just called offered me xl tv, 200mb broadband inc line rental with no price increase for £49.99. Also gave me the £50 credit that uswitch were offering, so just renewed. Just mentioning incase anyone cancelled other day and hasn't set up their deal yet, would check the rates on quido/tcb as they will likely apply that as free credit.
Should note you cant apply the line saver rental to that monthly price as virgin are using that saving to reduce your bill. Offered me all the current uswitch new customer deals and reduced them by about £5 a month as well as would give the £50 credit on even the lowest package.

Thank you, I am with sky now but I need to check the estimated upload and download speed of VM before I switch. Anyway I signed up now. May I also mention that the other deal is back on 12 month contract and £5 a month with the discount code
(VMBRVOU50). It works out £14.50 a month as described before on the previous expired deal. http://www.uswitch.com/broadband/compare/deals_and_offers/
