Was going to switch to sky broadband and telephone for £23 month after £60 tcb and £50 m&s vouchers.
Virgin offered free line rental for 12 months, so only works out £17 after they discounted a further £2.
50mb broadband plus unlimited XL call package. Bargain .

That's suspiciously cheap. I couldn't get it that cheap and I'm with them for 9 years.

Was it today? Bargain indeed! I accepted their offer for 50mb BB and normal landline package for £19 earlier today and thought that was nice. Well done!

I got a similar deal, they paid my line rental up front for 12 months and now they are charging me £25 a month for what was the Big Kahuna package which I think is the XL TV, Broadband and Phone bundle, on a 12 month contract :smiley:

I recently cancelled the TV aspect of my Virgin contract as retention's weren't playing ball after recent price rises and so signed up to Sky. I signed up for a new phone and Broadband package as I can't live without my 200mb broadband. Got my first months bill only to notice the price was wrong (was overcharged by £1.05). I contacted them via online chat and was told the price I was quoted the week before was still subject to the November price rise. I am trying to decide if I can be bothered complaining for the sake of £12, but very poor practice.

Binned them after 4 years of failing to deliver 152Mbps as promised. Switched to Fibre using a BT line and actually getting decent speeds. New ASA rulings means they wont be able to sell up to 200Mbps if a lot of people arent actually getting it as the 10% ruling no longer applies next year.

Fortunately I do get the advertised speed most of the time, the day BT/government get their act together and put decent fibre infrastructure in place across the country I'll be off like a shot. I'll not hold my breath though.

Blame Thatcher, BT wanted to do it in the 1980s. She blocked it.
