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.

Was paying TalkTalk £52 p/m off contract, best they could offer was £27.70 for 12 months, £37.70 afterwards.
Never had a major problem with them but guess the hack must have affected them a lot from giving better deals.

Been with Virgin for two years now. Not the best but I don't see any other company with 100% customers who are satisfied with their service, and be prepared to spent time attempted to fix your service with Virgin. It comes and goes constantly.

I went for it in the end - followed the instructions, rang up and paid the line rental up front of 164 and received the email. When I spoke to her, she asked me to go ahead and complete the order online and give her the reference number, then she could take the payment over the phone. She rang back a few minutes later to tell me a couple of things she forgot - that the 50 pounds discount is taken off the first bill and that the wireless speaker arrives after 28 days.

I work out that that it costs around 25 quid a month for the big easy bundle (tv, 50 mbs broadband, talk weekends) on a 12month contract. (164 line rental + 14.99 per month) - 50 new customer online discount = 293.88 / 12 = 24.49

I did this by following the Uswitch deal and adding the TV on top. I've no idea if quidco tracked or not, but I did open the quidco site and click the link a couple of times before I confirmed! it will be a bonus if it does track.

Wide Awake Jake to Wide Awake Jake

2 Feb 16 #95

Update - I've received the contract today and it states 18month contract for the Big easy bundle - which is what I bought.
Its 14.99 per month (Plus the 164 line rental I have already paid) - minus 50, which must be the new customer discount. I also introduced someone and they said they would credit us both with 50 pounds.

So only difference is that it's 18 month - but I would have probably ended up staying with them anyway. They said it will go up to 24 per month after 12 months, then I guess you add what ever the line rental will be. On the online order, it says 17.99 a month, so it should be 41.99 per month after that, for 6 months.

Quidco didn't track, but you can still make a claim against it, once the installation has taken place, so I will do that to see if I can get the 60 quid. On the person I referred, she just got the broadband and phone, and her quidco tracked within the hour. She also worked it out as 9.50 a month, with the quidco I think.

Signed up earlier in the week... managed to get the offer and pay for Line Rental up front, and the £50 credit from Post 1. Also...they offered me to refer a friend, which meant an extra £50 credit too...

The deal worked out as -

Line Rental = £164 (12 months)
Broadband = £60 (12 months)

Total = £224

************************

Account Credit = £50 (code 1st post)
Account Creidt = £50 (refer a friend)

*************************************

£224 minus £100 = £124.

Total Cost = £10.34 per month

*********************************

We have also attempted to sell the £50 credit my friend receives (£50 each per referral) to them for £25.00 (you never know). Plus the possibility of the £30 TCB cashback processing....

If that does happen, thats one good deal...

I did signed up Virgin first, then got a installation date. After that I called Sky first time said I wanted to cancel on the Virgin installation date. They didn't able to give me a good deal during the first call. 3 days later, they emailed me ask me to call again hence I got the deal. Make sure you call to a UK based call center, the Indian based call center is not able to give good deal if I am not mistaken...

Ordered this deal last week but got to cancel it now as got a better deal from Sky after the second call with the Sky cancellation team today. In the end they managed to give me 12 months FREE line rental + £10pm unlimited fibre broadband for 12 months contract (so effectively £120 per year ALL-IN), I just couldn't turn down this offer!

Hi that's exactly what I did, as they asked me to pay £4 for weekend call and increased line rental but my dilemma is now the earliest day available for engineer appointment was 1st of Feb, so should I phone sky on 31 Jan and cancel or what? I assume if I didn't cancel by 31 Jan I am liable for termination charge?
Can anybody here please help?
Thanks

20 Jan 16 #70

With BT currently you get 38mb unlimited fibre optic unlimited with weekend calls. £15 a month with £17.99 line rental. 12 mths contract £49 activation fee. But £125 prepaid MasterCard and £121.20 TCB.
15*12=£180
+17.99*12=£215.88
+£49
-£125
-£121.20
=£198.68 or £16.55 a month

Thoughts?

Yes I did that when I ordered online about a week ago.

Today's credit given for my account was for £60 for TCB. I was thinking that they would not honor my request or in the best case give a smaller credit but was pleasantly surprised.

AstalaVista

19 Jan 16 #62

I had ordered the £5 offer plus line rental but called in today to say that there is a TCB offer of £60 which I missed and whether I should cancel or reorder or can they accommodate the £60 credit in my account. Guess what got a £60 credit so quite pleased as the TCB is never guaranteed in practical terms.

I just just called to get a deal after reading these comments. Currently I pay £35 for 50mb bb & phone. There's a price increase of £3.49 and upgrade 50mb to 70mb coming in February. They reduced mine to £27.90 with 70mb bb and NO price increase.

19 Jan 16 #57

Just been on the phone to virgin and maybe a glimmer of hope here-pay £30.99 for 70mb bb(recent free upgrade from 50 bb)phone and basic tv and contract runs out in june with also a £3.49 increase next month but just spoken to someone and I said would I able to opt out of the contract early without any fees bearing in mind of the price increase during my current contract and they said yes and ring back retentions and you might come to some arrangement.

Phone and cancel wait for the loyalty team to phone you, will take around a week. Retentions can only offer some discount it is the loyalty team who can offer more. If they don't happen to call you then you can stop your cancellation anytime within the 30 day period.

I got 200mb bb, xl tv, phone line rental including the £4 increase due next month for £49.99 I also got £50 credit to my account. I cancelled on the 13/01/16 and they called me offering me the new deal last night, we negotiated and I was happy to accept that.

I could also have had the 100mb bb, large tv and line rental for £32 a month plus the £50 credit

or

The 50mb bb small tv line rental and £50 credit for just over £20 a month, cant remember the exact figure

Don't go with these scammers! I've just moved back and Derby (part of area 20) is massively oversubscribed. Getting as low as 0.44 Mbps and most 4 on a 200 Mbps line every Saturday and Sunday night for last month which they say is acceptable because I'm not losing connection!

That’s bad, is there any way to find out the speed you would really get before you sign up to Virgin media cable?

SmokeyBandit to cantonbean

19 Jan 16 #45

Sounds like a high utilisation problem. Phone them back and get someone else. They should deduct your monthly bill for this as they can see when this area is being affected by this issue. Unfortunately it isn't something they will fix overnight but they will fix it eventually I guess they have gave you a estimate time to be resolved. ex VM BB tech support.

woodg8

19 Jan 16 #37

for all these negative virgin media comments, I should balance it out by saying that I pay £25 a month for 70mb, phone and TV with certain extra channels and have nothing but excellent service, full speed and barely any problems. been an absolute bargain for years

Askrulous to woodg8

19 Jan 16 #44

Well done, I'm paying £5 more than you for just bb and phone, how did you get your deal?

Askrulous

19 Jan 16 #43

Yes, I've have got a £10 discount, but the monthly figure I pay (near £30 for 30mb bb and phone) is still £10 over what I was paying a few years ago and what I'm happy to pay, simply because they constantly upped the prices in that time. It seems they want fresh blood to exploit given the way they treat existing customers.

RJ12

19 Jan 16 #42

Heat added. But BEWARE, their post installation customer service is abysmal. I just hope I do not have to deal with them over the next 12 months. But for this sort of saving I talked myself into Virgin. If you want customer care SKY is your way..

As far as I am aware no, I got offered no where near this deal by retentions and I tried them twice. I cancelled last week with a cut off date of 13/02 tonight I was called by the loyalty team who gave me the new deal. He said basically they were paying the line rental for me for the year and then applying a further discount of a few pounds and applying credit of £50 to my account. I thought I could have paid the line rental in advance to make it even cheaper but they have paid it for me. This is part of the email I received:

Hello,

Thanks for taking Line Rental Saver for the next 12 months. We're just letting you know we've received your payment of £164 by debit/credit card.

By paying up front for a year's line rental, you've cut £39.88 from the full price of £203.88.

I did not give him my debit or credit card details so they must have paid it.

looneychoonz74

18 Jan 16 #28

I agree.... it's all business i guess?
But it does **** people off when you sign a legal contract for a certain price for 12 or 18 months...... and half way through it, they suddenly 'up' the price.

Luckily i'm past my 18 months and considering it's price jumped £15 extra over the past couple of years, it's a good time to renegotiate :smiley:

rev6

18 Jan 16 1 #27

I agree the latest price increase was a lot but Sky/BT do the same thing every year.

looneychoonz74

18 Jan 16 1 #26

In a nutshell.... they're greedy!
always upping the price whenever they want to, but always in smaller 'unnoticable' amounts throught the year.
No loyalty whatsoever to loyal customers (been with them for about 15 years)
And to add an extra kick in the boll*cks, they drop 'new customer' deals, for double the value you're currently on for under half the price, and don't give you sh*t for your loyalty unless you threaten to cancel.
even then they try to palm you off with a measly fiver off a month unless you play hardball and stick to your guns!

But as mentioned before....... They are most definately the fastest fibre broadband in the UK.
But as for any customer loyalty, there is none!
It's all swings and roundabouts, just have to see if you're lucky enough to blag a good deal from them when you threaten to leave.

It's optical fibre you should be getting 50mbps if you plug in and run a speed test.. upload is 3mbps on 50mb.

The only people that seem to get there knickers in a bunch about upload speed tend to be torrent users. Who want everything for free. :disappointed:

rollmesome

You will get the 50mb or thereabouts. It's not like bt (Sky Talktalk etc) where it's just FTC. Fresh cable in to your house so should get the high speed

bhoy78

18 Jan 16 2 #9

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.

Betty21 to bhoy78

18 Jan 16 #10

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
