That's a good deal. Shame they won't offer it to existing customers. I'm tired of threatening to leave every time I want a new deal. When in fact I don't want to leave because the service is very good, stable and fast ( over 50Mbps)

Clicking the link takes me to Virgin Mobile for a phone deal?

anyone know if this offer still exists, if so would appreciate a referral code :smiley:

what a shame, could of done with this :disappointed:

Email above

PM me if you want referring

sent you a pm, but think this offer has expired, best check site

Any referrals still going on this? My VM contract expires next month. Much appreciated :smiley:

Offer seems to have expired :S

Not sure if it's allowed for me to put an email address out here so mods do delete if not however considering I can't PM anyone AND I've emailed admins twice for help to no avail:

Email me at [email protected] with your full name, email and phone number (but I can put that random if you want) and I'll email you back the referral

same here, if possible, I would like to sign up with a referral, please PM me with it, thank you!

sent you a pm

Will I need to dig up the road first though? lol

Funnily, I did sign up for Virgin about 2 years ago, but cancelled when they failed to do the install on two attempts. They then decided to dig up the tarmac outside to feed the cable onto my drive and leave coil of about 10 metres of cable on my drive. (Its still there too!)

EDIT

I just put my details in and it says installation is free!

you can do self service set up

I always take offer up on line and screenshot it for reference, I hate sales advisors they tell you anything at time of sale

with sceenshot can always use it as back up

It says 12 months contract otherwise unless stated and I haven't seen it stated anywhere! It did crosse my mind when I originally saw the offer though

its 12 month so best cancel and give notice in month 11 or then haggle again

they hoping people forget and then start paying silly fee

Is this not an 18 month contract though with the final 6 months being charged at a whopping £32.25 PM? (I was looking at the 100MB deal - but £37.25PM put paid to that.)

I went from BT to Virgin, so its like I dont use the same connection anymore, still a rip off charge.

I believe if you were transferring to another provider, you wernt charged but for me I wasn't renewing with anyone as at that time working away from home

I don't think I was charge this last year, otherwise I would of fought it, taking it to the ombudsman or watchdog, this is just a way to make money imo disgraceful.

it says you don't have private messaging enabled, and I don't think you be able to put your email address on here for me to send you a link

No PM received, no idea why I can't get PMs I did email hukd about it but no reply. It's strange your being charge to terminate your line I've never been charged I'd check it's in your contract.

ive replied hopefully you got it,

Sky charge £30 as well or they did last year for me to get broadband turned off, what a rip

Iv been out of contract since October. I also questioned this and bt said it's a cease charge to get an engineer to terminate my broadband connection since al be using an alternative.. virgin... and not switching

Roberts432, sent yu a pm for referral if u don't mind. Thanks!

this is a good deal just remember to give notice to cancel in month 11 or ask them to match deal again.

sent you a pm, offer ends tonight, but imagine it be on again in next few months

sent you pm

Going for this anyone refer me

Are you out of contract? I don't remember this sounds like illegal charge when I left a year ago.

sent you a message

this offer ends tonight but sure it will be back on again

I'd be interested in the code if it is possible

PM sent, if this is within the site's rules.

Just got stung for £30 from bt for a cease charge for canceling!
Im wanting to jump on this deal so if anyone can refer me aswell that will be great!

Any chance someone could PM me a referral code? Thanks in advance.

I'm doing exactly the same thing with another relative. Will get it about £21 p/m after £50 refer a friend or £40 Quidco. They only offer me £30 p/m on the 100mb to stay.

I am not 100% sure whether this is allowed in the forum......MODS could you please let us know whether I can refer a new customer to VM???

I've been with Virgin for a long time for my telephone and Internet is it possible for me to move to another provider and keep my landline number?

Yep, you certainly can!

I was on last years £22 p/m deal due to expire on 25 Jan and they couldn't offer anything better so I've cancelled.. Can I sign up to this deal in my partners name and have it activated after the current subscription in my name lapses?

Yes please. Sorry, I can't use PM yet, only receive.

I can if you wish...

Anyone can help to refer me?

Bummed!....Confused as to why BB prices are up across all ISP's. This package was being offered @ a total price of £17.82 for 12mths with line rental included last year. Aarrrggghhh!

Maybe update the op, faster speeds are also available. It's not just the 50

How do you do that what do you say to them?

For anyone interested, you can get line rental, weekend calls and TV for an extra £2/month through live chat. You get more cashback through TCB/Quidco too.

PM'd you lopes, I know you can't send pm's but you can read them?

You will get both its normal, where they(cashback site) point out is using a voucher code not approved by them 'may effect cashback' . Like I said, I got both the cashback (£80) and the £50 code use on sign up to have £50 credit from virgin.

Thanks for that Matt. Laughing then if they both come in :smile:

MaxiB you will get both as the offer of £125 isnt a voucher code, heck I used a £50 code and also got cashback from TCB when I joined virgin BB last year! So cashback sites dont know whether a voucher code has been used as they dont get access to our signing up info, they just know that we made a purchase that is all.

Now anyone know of any working voucher code for virgin? There was a £50 code recently, but that no longer work.

I had the same offer, wasn't really impressed after seeing the £18 a month (new customer) deal. - £32 for 70mb and phone was their best retention offering.

They did offer a £24 credit on the account essentially taking it down to £30 a month, so reluctantly I accepted, but then cancelled the next day. Gone with BT (infinity1 @ £29.99 a month) who also offer a £125 reward card (pre-loaded mastercard) although I do have to pay 59.99 for activation and delivery of the router.

Still, it leaves me £65 better off overall and I put it through Quidco as well as they offer £60 cashback on this package, but it does state in the Quidco terms that accepting any offers/vouchers, etc on the retailer site may affect the cashback. :neutral_face: Either way, you could get both or at the very least collect the £125 reward card and you have 3 months to stake your claim to it. Let's hope Quidco pays out before then!

they wouldnt budge on retentions for me apart from offering 50mb for £32, or 100mb for £37 (with phone line aswell even though i didnt want )
gonna get rid of the Tivo on my current package, for the price they are charging me on a basic Tivo deal.. unless they give me a decent deal to keep it.. only really need the BB.

how did you manage to get the retentions people to match this for you (those that did) or was it when they ring you after youve given them notice?

For those who are getting this price on retention is that excusing the price of your line rental?

Contract up with virgin, try to get 100mb for £23 a month from retention, wont do me a deal best offer was £30. They start by saying the 'computer is showing £1 off discount' only at the beginning of the conversation LOL. Cancel anyway, as I have a relative living me can sign up as a new customer and also get £40 quidco making the deal about £21 a month.

I went through imutual - £95 cashback and 950 shares. This is for 3 items, ie fibre, phone line and tv. £29/ month

Is cashback only available through Quidco? Can't see anything for broadband only on TCB.

I've been looking to get a new Fibre deal, Sky and BT aren't offering anything price competitive. If you don't need a phone like so many people these days, this is a very good deal. And like garlic bread ( (c) Peter Kay), it may also be the future:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/broadband/12200344/BT-and-other-broadband-companies-could-be-banned-from-charging-householders-for-landlines-they-do-not-use.html

One other advantage is as and when Virgin, like all of them, raise their phone line rental price within the 12m, it won't affect the cost! Virgin are pretty good to deal with and like Sky, will often credit your account if you have any problems (eg when they raise the BB price!) Speed should be reliable, pretty much the headline speed, not being dependent on copper cables and distance from the exchange. That's been my experience.

Thank you all for the lovely comments! I do mean well when I posted this and apologies if there was ever any confusion (this is my first proper main deal I've ever posted after using this site a heck of a lot for get deals myself!).

In my experience I got this deal for my sister, I was putting it through quidco when I realised they probably do a referral bonus! Checked it out, called up a friend of mine who has VM and got us both £50 credit each. So now my sister will be enjoying free broadband for the first month free and only £1 the subsequent month (£18+£15 = £33 - £50 credit = -£17 + £18 = £1).
Oh and I'd prefer her not to have a landline as she'd never be off the phone!

Now to get my dad out of his EE broadband contract free due to the price increases and get him this! Get my sister to refer him giving her another £50 credit and my dad a month free with £1 a subsequent month!

Merry Christmas all.

virgin always bad .mean bills !

called virgin as my contract came to an end and they wouldn't budge. quoted me 28quid as a retention deal for six months on an 18month contract. 33 quid for 100 mb. for extra 2 quid they offered the 200mb full house deal. cancelled my contract in the end as I don't need TV and Landline. Back to BT infinity which was very good last year.

This "miserable pedant" did spend at least 10 seconds checking the Virgin site, which is why I was disappointed line rental was not included, as claimed in the original pre-edited title, which is why I felt "misled" by the description.
However, I'm glad this deal works out well for people not needing or wanting a phoneline.
No Bah-humbug from me, Merry Xmas..!

Here, here. well said. This deal is about to save me a fortune.

Once you give 30 days' notice, if like me you're out of contract or coming to its expiry, you are likely to be called with a better deal. That's what I did recently, before even seeing this, and was then offered this deal during the notice period. I think what happens is their internal systems then give you access to new customer deals/further loyalty discounts. You could try again. NB the deal is now in Martin Lewis' MoneysavingExpert weekly email. Well done to the OP for posting this. As for the miserable pedants complaining about the "misleading" details, if you were in any doubt, you could, as I did after someone else posted this deal a few days ago, have spent 10 seconds checking the virgin site to verify this deal is there and clearly is offered as a fibre BB only deal.
There are other deals on offer for higher speeds.

thanks, keep meaninh to phone to cancel cos so expensive now (just to get a deal) will haggle for this!

I've never said it wasn't a deal, just not as good a deal as your original title suggested, as I would have been all over this if it did include line rental.
Again fair play you posted the deal in the first place and made a contribution, you just need to be a bit more accurate with your description to avoid misleading people initially.

​It states in the title that it is not included.

Such a shame these deals are for new customers only. :disappointed: I'm on a big easy bundle at £46 a month. The phone is never ever used neither is the TV so £46 for internet alone seems a terrible waste of money. Just called retentions and the best I could get from them is £30 p.m. for broadband+phone. (£27 for broadband alone). Seems about similar for BT infinity, etc, so took the 30. £18 a month sounds a lot better though.. :smile:

No idea why people get speed problems. I'm on the 200mb package and I consistently get at least 200mb (sometimes hits 270mb!) at all times of the day.

Maybe you should give them a call as your line/router might be faulty.

Just don't get the TV, it's garbage.

Ok, maybe suckered's not the right word but misled definitely.
Nothing to gain but kudos from posting a hot deal maybe.
I see you've changed the description now, fair play, but had it been like that originally I doubt this would have got much heat.

That's a good deal. Shame they won't offer it to existing customers. I'm tired of threatening to leave every time I want a new deal. When in fact I don't want to leave because the service is very good, stable and fast ( over 50Mbps)

Suckered? I've got nothing to gain from people voting hot

Always worth checking Uswitch for VM deals (and other sites for discount codes).

I started a broadband (100mb) and phone contract a few weeks ago, Uswitch took the standard price from £32/month to £30/month and I then stacked it with a £50 online credit found on another external site.

Effectively just under £26 per month and this was a short notice buy due to a house move.

Thank you

I'm with Doug. Your title is misleading and should be changed to say "Phone line not Required" as it is not "included" as the title states. It's not clear until you read a few comments or click on 'Get Deal'. Meantime no doubt you've suckered quite a few people into voting the deal hot who can't be bothered to read the full description. Voted cold for that reason.

utilization in my area internet was unusable after 6pm so sacked virgin and went to bt infinity never looked back

Does this deal include the Dial-up-connection speeds you get until mid January 2017? :laughing:

Every broadband company requires you to have a phone line with the exception of virgin (as the other run through bt openreach etc). I merely stated it included line rental so that people don't assume they get broadband AND have to pay for line rental when they don't. I did put it in then main description and the photo does say 'no virgin phone line'. However I see your point I merely put it to avoid confusion of people thinking they have to pay £18 for bb and then line rental on top.

I'm on virgin, no problems. Please feel to use me as a recommendation

amazing how this gets voted cold yesterday (then expired) but is hot today

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/virgin-superfibre-50-broadband-18-pm-black-friday-deal-price-216-total-2580073

Title is misleading. Line rental isn't included. The fact that it's not required doesn't mean it's included in the price

If line rental were to be included, as per your title, I could make a phone call with virgin for £18 a month. Obviously not possible as they won't provide a phone line

I presume you have to login in order to refer someone. However I do know that the person you are referring will receive an email and they have to use that special link in the email to get the credit.

just joined BT myself after reading some pretty negative reviews recently.

Thankfully dumped Virgin, a good deal is only good if you get anywhere near what you're promised and months of 5mb when I'm paying for 100mb isn't good. Seemingly depends entirely on your area and mine is oversubscribed.

speeds vary dramatically, get 50mb most of the time, but nearer 5mb in the evening.

I see the bt retentions team are trying to hijack this deal. BT is good as long as you don't use the awful home hub and pay silly money for it

But cost wise Virgin is a no brainer, and if you want a phone line and TV add £2 and get the lot until 29th of the month

thinking of getting this for sobering as a gift, do you know if it's possible to pay off the year contract in advance? thanks

Great stuff. I can't wait to go back to Virgin - hopefully a good broadband only package is available then.

I just moved from Virgin Media to BT, and have regretted it ever since. It took weeks for my. number to be ported, the speed is only between 6mbps and 35mbps (was told it would be 50mbps, "Infinity" my ****), and the hub randomly decides to cut off connections to my devices throughout the day, now I'm stuck with it. No wonder BT were giving away "reward" cards.

there is no line rental required with this

Is the line rental included or not?

someone * (stupid phone)

Shame about the line rental

I have been with virgin 50 mbps fibre for a year now after being with BT on their infinity 74 mbps package and both have been fine for me.

No speed throttling at any time of the day, the superhub 3 from virgin has been solid. The only reason why I think I have been fortunate with a reliable service is because my exchange is in the city of London.

The only reason I moved to virgin was because of BT not giving me a good deal to stay with them.

Just realised after reading this thread that I signed up for my virgin deal on the 15th of December last year! Guess I need to call virgin for a better deal today! :laughing:

Title says line included please change

I've just got this deal as a retention deal £18 pm no phone line

Not had any problems with VM seems quick even at night even when streaming HD catch up through youview box
Getting 54.20 Mb/s right now with a 50 Mb/s package
Looked round my area BT maxing at 30 Mb/s some as low as 6 Mb/s cant really see how thats better
There is one VM nearby at 144 Mb/s

hopefully retention offer something like this in a few weeks once my loyalty discount ends if not i'll give BT a try for a year.

Moved to BT after sticking with Virgin media for ages.
Have to say... I'm pleasantly surprised at the service quality from BT.
Never had any downtime since I joined about 4 months ago.
I don't notice any throttling at busy times whereas with Virgin it was lucky dip at busy times.

When it works !
