Looks like op has updated to include the "HAVE50" voucher - this will take the 100mb down to just under £26/month!

I could refer you and you'll get 50 off!

i could recommend you as i work for them and you will get £50 discount that way.

200 meg without phone is 37.25 a month. with phone it's 37.00. i could get you a£50 discount as i work for them!

Wow..... I need to check who has Virgin at work then :smiley:

Referral deals are definitely the best at the moment (Don't post here asking for referrals though as it isn't allowed). Just to give you an idea my friends have been getting Free Activation, 100Mbps broadband, basic TV with TiVo, phone line and line rental for £20 all in and a £50 credit - so the equivalent of £15.83 per month for 12 months (12 month contract).

Hi all, I tried the "HAVE50" code and it's expired. Should I contact them directly to see what the best deal is for new Virgin Customers?

£30.25 is more than £30.

I had my install done today thanks to happymanuk <3 Nuff love! lol Worked a treat just follow the advice he gives :smirk:

It all depends on who submitted the referral and how it was done - It may have been a general referral or sent through to a specific agent. I know that for my referrals I had a specific contact and a previously agreed deal that would be offered to those I refer it to.

Ah ok thanks, do you know if it's possible to phone them back up myself (on the 0800 number) and try again, or would i need to wait for them to call again?

The deals are very much dependent on the agent who you speak to. I've just had a referral obtain the same offer in the last few days.

Seems the £15 a month deal is no longer being offered with referrals! Best I was offered was £29 a month plus the £50 credit..

Virgin have really **** me off today. Cancelled my installation without telling me beforehand. I was at home and decided to phone them to find out what time they were coming. Apparently, I was meant to confirm it with them, well, say so in your voicemail message!!!!! They said call back if there's any problem, not call back to confirm.

I was so angry, I told them to cancel, the CS persisted and I relented. I don't want to waste another day off work, if it happens again, more fool me.

Yes I did - absolute joke. As stated customer over 10 years and NO customer loyalty. Only stayed with them because when it does work I know it's fast.

Didn't work within 5 days of new box sent and after an engineer had been sent for an "assessment" which was completely unnecessary as everything worked before. The soonest they could send an engineer was 7 days later.

IMO it's pointless paying for these crappy TV services that are full of adverts. If you have all the major catch up, Netflix, Amazon, Now TV, Android boxes just a waste of money.

Like I said, in our lifetime a fast broadband connection will be included in the council tax and will just be a given.

The roads are constantly being dug up and potholes created by all these services companies without charge.

One day someone in central government will have the nous to firstly charge these companies appropriate fees for damage and destruction. And even later, realise that they could get in on the act and undercut all these clowns!!

Can u please inbox me regarding same deal

hi im moving house,can i get this offer as need broadband

If you are out of contract with BT then you can just sign up to Virgin and as long as you port your number over, BT will then cease your services at this point. It is probably best to let BT know as well just so they have it on record.

I'm on BT( out of contract since October 16) so do I have to give 30 day notice to stop broadband when moving to virgin (i guess virgin use their own cable rather than the bt fiber) or will it be done automatically done as phone gets moved to virgin ...

BT Sport, SKY Sorts & Movies included!

Virgin VIP Bundle
200MB Fibre, Talk anytime (Landlines, mobiles, 0845, 0870 numbers etc) 2 boxes including the V6 4K HDR Box
£85 PM
£100 gift card = £76.66 PM

no

Does the code still work?

This looks like an excellent offer, just about to jump ship now that BT are putting their prices up

i did during notice period so wont leave me stay in stone age too long, so few days without broadband until they sent engineer for installation.
good luck for you

Great result indeed...after being referred by happymanuk .I had a call from virgin yesterday, should be activated on 9th.
Thank you very much happymanuk.

Thanks, Donny. Did you wait until you're service stopped or during the notice period?

yes it should fine as I did last year with my wife's name to get good deal

Theres no code from Virgin thats a uswitch deal,And seems to have finished.

Rollox. Just found out Sky had more than doubled my monthly bill so was going to leave but can't find another provider any cheaper. They are all more expensive. Drat!

How do I do this? I am with Virgin right now and my parents want to sign up to Virgin. I sent them a referal link through Virgins website but there is no code to enter at the uSwitch promo. The HAVE50 code does not work.

Hi there, Could any one PM me the link to get VIRGIN MEDIA's offer?

[quote=porradude]Hi everyone. Is it possible to sign up for a new deal using my wife's name if the contract under my name is ending now? As in, will virgin know that I'll be doing that at the same property. Contract ending and when I phoned up, their offer was shocking.[/quotehi
it was same here I'm currently paying £3 after paying my line rental up front last year i called last week to renew but they said I'll have to pay £17 a month plus line rental so i give them notice to cancel my contract today I had phone call and they offered me £6 a month if i pay my line rental up front plus free upgrade to 70mb.
it's work out to £268 for year

Hi everyone. Is it possible to sign up for a new deal using my wife's name if the contract under my name is ending now? As in, will virgin know that I'll be doing that at the same property. Contract ending and when I phoned up, their offer was shocking.

Looks like it, my account got signed out too when I asked, it's quite sad you can't even help people, which is the whole point of the site, well that's what I thought it was anyways

well said

To anyone iv'e pm'd about referrals.Looks to me like the mods are reading pm's so anyone who asked me sorry,Had a pm off mods telling me referrals are not allowed and had a warning i would be suspended anyone else had that,Funny how others have been doing it for days did anyone manage to do it.
I don't understand what difference it makes to this site,This site is for saving money for everyone or is the site only about making itself money and not the members.Looks like it to me.

I've checked and it is enabled, I've pm'd you instead

I've tried to PM you but I get the message "User does not have private messaging enabled.". You would need to enable this in order for me to contact you.

Can you pm me the link too please?

can you please pm me the referral link as well? thanks.

have50 code was not working for me.

According to this: https://www.lifewire.com/internet-speed-requirements-for-movie-viewing-1847401

15 Mb/s is the minimum necessary for 4K streaming (25mb/s is preferred)

Can Netflix 4k stream perfectly on 20meg down load.

Well my son got his hub3 through yodel 100mb today up and running and we both got £50 each referal money so good deal for £30 a month.

The Virgin Media deal includes line rental.

but then there is still £19 a month on top for line rental. I got talk talk tv and fibre for £27 a month including line rental and also got £105 cash back. sure I only connect at 37mb instead of 50mb and the tv box isn't as good but its still a good deal for those which just want a cheaper service

Can you send me a referral as well please

Can you PM me a referral link please?

Hi can someone give me a referral link please

The HAVE50 does not work for me

Agreed so did you have to cancel then re-join?
I have just switched to PlusNuet Fibre which uses BT infinity 1, so again paying £25 a month for 12 months.
However I would have prefered to stay with Virgin as you generally get the speed they advertise unlike BT.

That's because, as many of these so called "deals" they are placed by the company schills and you have no chance of getting them.

Very rarely does anyone post a pic of their contract.

Virgin are a shoddy company and racquet. Customer service is non existent, they will jack your bills, no one seems to know what they are doing.

10 year + customer - gave me the only "discount" as signing up as a new customer.

Engineer turned up and even he quoted business 101 - keep your existing customers happy haha!

The standard TV and Tivo box is crap.

10 year + customer and have had to sign up to get new customer £27 a month all in. Up to 50mb broadband and home phone wll never use - bargain!

All these companies have been buggering up the roads for years and getting away with their daylight robbery.

Trust me, by 2025 high speed internet access will be a given included in council tax. Hopefully it will be regulated!

It's saying invalid code

I'll pm you.

How do you go about getting a referral ?

You won't get £50 each doing it through Uswitch.

Don't ring up, just do it online.

Ring again sometimes its who you speak too.I got my son this deal 100mb £30 with weekend calls last night no problems £50 each he got his £50 knocked off his first bill straight away.If your an existing customer they don't want to know.

just called and the best they are offering me is phone with weekend calls, and 50mb broadband for 25 pounds with activation cost of 14.99....what have i done wrong?....

I am an existing customer they won't let me have this deal not even if I cancel my contract and then start up again.

pmed you

good deal, I paying the price for just the internet

happy to have a referral

Trying to get the deal!
Virgin have said they will honour a deal but the uswitch site says £30 for 100Mb! Getting close but no cigar, they asked me to email them a link with a cheaper price as evidence then they would match?? any ideas?? Is there eveidence of these prices???

I'm really needing a referral offer as currently looking for Virgin Broadband deal and would really love 12 month contract happymanuk has posted

Damn I wish i'd included myself offering the referrals :smiley: Still open here if anyone wants one!

Excellent! At this rate of referral signups, I think happymanuk will be getting paid by Virgin to be with them!

I have got the same deal as this above and also a happymanuk :stuck_out_tongue:

Ring again as i said before i rang them yesterday referred my son first online so it was on there system.And told them he wanted the 100mb uswitch deal.They didn't argue just did it all over the phone and gave my son the £50 off the upfront cost.Then i'll get my £50 when its up and running which will be this saturday.Anyone want a referral let me know.

No worries , if you stand your ground they will normally budge :smiley:

Just about to order 50Mb internet / phone

I think I've fixed that now.

Nice to know. Cheers

Hi - You're welcome. I'm still here. Glad to hear you got a great deal.

(Please do not request referrals via posts on here - it is not allowed.)

It seems I have missed the deal via Happymanuk's referral - gutted. Happy to hear of any similar deals though.

Huge shout out to happymanuk for hooking me up with this sweet deal:

100mb broadband
Line rental and weekend calls
Player TV Bundle
TiVO 500gb
No installation/activation fee
£50 credit

All the above for £20 a month! Happymanuk's referral was actually for 50mb and at £15 pm, but I couldn't resist doubling the speed for a mere £5 extra.

Don't know why he's been suspended/banned, he didn't share the referral links on deal posts and only gave it when people asked for it in PM. Can't see how that's rule breaking. Anyway, if you're seeing this happymanuk, thanks again!

Received the call back from the referral team. They honoured the £50 discount code, £50 referral to me and £50 referral to my friend. They said they'd only do this on a "standard" bundle however so I decided to go with the Player bundle which will work out as £21.92pm.

Thanks again mikeizz!

Seems like this code has expired which is a shame as was lookign for a 100mb Virgin deal :disappointed:

They will say that code is online specific and can't be used.

Feel free to mention me as a "friend" who got the £50 refer a friend plus another £50 credit on my account yesterday and yes the friend also is going to recieve £50!

IF they say they can't do it just say well that £50 is the difference between saying yes and no and i'm sure they will ring you back, if not they leave a number for you to call on...... Good luck!

Thanks mikeizz.

I'm expecting a call from a friend referral at 11am today. I'll mention the 'HAVE50' code in the hope to getting the same deal. Is there anything else to mention and do you know if your friend will still receive their £50 for referring you?

I got a call from Virgin after i was referred by a friend and mentioned this code as as a hope of getting another £50 discount but the guy on the phone said no way .

I then get a call back later from the same guy and he tells that he has spoken to his manager and they will grant another £50 credit (so £100 in total) which works out at £17.92 a month for 50 fibre and weeked calls.

If anyone has a friend might be worth a punt as didn't take much!

I just got my latest virgin bill for £70! And all I have is 50 meg broadband and TiVo M the call charges came to £18 but to be paying over £50 for 50 meg is ridiculous so I've rang them to cancel and the best deal they offered me was £45 lmao!

Just cancelled on my Virgin 100Mbps Unlimited Package (new customer). Their existing infrastructure cannot support so-called "100Mbps" "200Mbps"

Average speeds during peak hours 7pm - 12 am approx (including daytime during weekends ) = 12-25 Mbps !!


Virgin forcefully "closed" a high utilization (oversubscribed) ticket raised against my account/area (London) within 2 days - It normally takes weeks/months to upgrade (meaning new: cables/network kit/servers) to fix high utilization issues so they are master manipulators.

Virgin need to be fined by the regulators and trading standards for false advertising and for deceiving customers !

Never again.

Ring like i did above it was this teatime when i rang.Get a member hint to refer you £50 each.

The HAVE50 code isn't working for me.
I tried several browsers but no luck...

Just got my son this 100mb exact deal with £50 each referral.By ringing them they knocked the £50 off his upfront charge straight away i'll get my £50 after its installed on saturday.12 month contract.

code doesn't work, shame as I was about to buy

Just go to uswitch and click through from the 100mb instead of the 50mb!

That's an interesting one. I suppose sales reps might not have heard of "high optimisation areas", but technical support and customer services and second line customer services certainly have as they confirmed I am in such an area, which is why I'm getting such poor speeds at peak times. Maybe ask to talk to a manager / supervisor and ask what speeds exactly are guaranteed. I'm pretty sure they can't guarantee any speeds, except possibly the less than a meg I'm getting!!

Nuts, just discovered that the VM cable stops ~20m from my home...

I asked the rep. specifically about this after reading the comment earlier in the thread. She denied that such term exists and that Virgin will guaranttee the speed they are advertising. Obviously I have no way of verifying either so I will have to wait and see

Please check with the rep before you sign up that you're not in a "high utilisation area". This could mean at peak times, so outside normal office hours in the evening and all weekend, you may only be getting less than a meg download speed. It will most likely be much better at 11am on a Monday morning, when I'm at work. £16 a month all in, including phone line sounds cheap, but at less than a MB at the times when I want to use the service, I reckon I should be paying 50x less that that for the speed I'm getting, so 32p a month!

I didn't receive an e-mail apart from the direct debit one, but after setting up my online account I asked on Live Chat and they confirmed the deal I was registered for was what I had expected.

That's £100 off happymanuk's bill also :smiley: If anyone wants to try me i'm more than happy to refer someone. Drop me a PM.

It is a great deal. Can I ask you about one thing...they said I will receive an email next week confirming the package but the email will show the cost to be £29/month. They said I will receive no correspondence about being charged £15/month but they will credit £14 every month to my bill. Was that the case with you also?

Same deal as me! - Fantastic deal.

Great result...after being referred by happymanuk (from HUKD), I just had a call from virgin. Iam moving from bt. They said that I have been referred and they would like to give me a good deal. I said I only want the deal my referrer had and they agreed straightaway. 12 months contract of 50mb broadband +weekend calls + line rental+ 500 GB Tivo box+ Free connection all for £15/month. They will also credit my first bill with £50 which will bring the monthly cost down to £10.83.
Thank you very much happymanuk.

I called them back in August due to issues i was having with the BB, i just wanted to cancel as i had enough of constant disconnections and getting nowhere with virgin. They convinced me to stay by offering me the latest superhub which they say will solve the problem i was having, they also offered to reduce my bill slightly. I gave them one last chance and went ahead with it. Little did i know then i was signing up to a new 12 month contract!. Furthermore the price has since increased back to the original £39 i was paying before i made this call in August.

I am going to wait till I move home and see if they are in my area , then will look for the best deal possible if I can get it there as coverage varies in the areas I am looking to move to

I presume it actually IS fast and reliable???

I need NO BUFFERING whatsoever if possible on Youtube videos for my Grandson with Autism who has all sorts of ipads / ipods / iphones and a laptop going all at once! Lol

Plus am on the internet too of course and we were having trouble with Talk Talk fibre between around 6-8pm every evening :disappointed::disappointed:

How long have you been with them? Standard term is normally 12 months, past this time you should be able to leave giving 30 days notice without paying a fee. I'm not sure you psychically sign anything these days as it's mostly online.

Area Reference (AR) 21, Franchise area: Wandsworth and then London North (which doesn't seem to make sense). Lot's of Virgin customers are not too satisfied. If you search for "high utilisation area" (or use it z instead of s) and Virgin you can find the threads.

So are you saying that im not in a contract if i've not signed anything?.

Virgin's Broadband is on a separate line to the phone line. Not like sky/bt who use adsl. So it'll come from their own junction box on the street (usually green box).

Gone for 50meg broadband, tv, phone and line rental for £15 per month along with a £50 bill credit. Superb deal that I'm thrilled with. Certainly beats this one!

Thanks!

Virgin has just cabled our area.... any idea if they'll have to dig the ground to provide the cable to the house or will they connect to the junction box and get it through the phone line like the others (BT, SKY etc.) do.
Thanks in advance.

Works out £27.08 a month which is good too! I don't think you'll get any more off unless you trying using Quidco/Topcashback with it, but it says they won't pay out with codes (worth a shot though!) Not sure when the code will end.

I need 100mbps so with the £50 credit it would work out at about £29 a month but is there any way as a new customer to get this cheaper?

Plus when does this code end please?

on £28.25 for 150mb.... should i cancel that?

You might want to check the small print there:-

NO traffic throttling on downloads during working hours

* Virgin Media cabled areas only. Speeds referred to are download speeds.All prices subject to VAT at 20%. Subject to 24 months minimum term contract. Minimum cost of install is £50 per site, excess construction charges may apply. Legal stuff applies.

I'm 100% sure that Virgin don't work on verbal contracts, it'd be for a length of time.

No contract signed here. Just verbal, and even then i had no intentions to take out a new contract, i was merely complaining about the poor service so they offered a discount. I had no idea it would mean you're signing up to a fresh 12 month contract.

I'm considering switching from Virgin Media to Virgin Media Business as they offer:

Up to 50Mbps down/up to 5Mbps up broadband for £25+VAT per month for 24 months
£50 installation fee
No phone line required
Router
No monthly download limits

What do I get with a business broadband package that I don't get with home broadband?

https://www.uswitch.com/broadband/guides/business_broadband_vs_home_broadband_which_do_i_need/

Retention is to hold on to the customer, you're asking to leave them. You can only get a retention deal at the end of your contract. If you're not at the end that's why they want you to pay a fee. Wait until the end, then call to cancel, they'll call you back a day later with a new deal, then you can haggle!

How are you guys getting retention deals?

I have never been able to get them, even with mobile phone contracts. They just don't offer me them.

Just on the phone to virgin media now and they say i must pay £125 to leave. How are you getting around this????

Does anyone have any experience of Virginmedia fibre broadband in Glasgow? Would like to try them but wary of all the negative reports they've had!

Yes, it's still that price, but you take the £50 discount into account and spread that discount across 12 months, bringing the price down.

Exactly what theyve been saying to me - where are you based?

I currently have a 50mb Virgin media connection and have done a few speed tests on it- most evenings it hits roughly 1.5mb. I have spoken to Virgin two times about this and the best they have given in response is that "it might improve by the middle of April".

I am north-west London if anyone both cares and has read this far.

Does anyone know if other companies have more reliable speeds?

I'm on 50MB retention deal where I'm paying £16 per month all in, including line rental. To get this deal I cancelled my deal, and in the notice period they phoned to offer me this deal. I think it still included weekend calls too, but don't have a home phone plugged in. Up until about 2 months ago I was regularly getting 50MB on weeknights, but not over the weekend where it would sometime plummet to 1 or 2MB due to high demand. For at least the last month, during weeknights and weekends, it's mostly less than 1MB. Apparently I'm in a "high utilisation area", which from what I understand means that they are due to upgrade as their infrastructure can't cope, but might simply mean they've oversold too many packages. My advice would be check when you speak to someone that you're not in a "high utilisation area", as if so ask when you'll get the upgrade and decide accordingly, you will likely be getting nowhere near the advertised speeds of 50MB at the times most people want to use the service.

I can only see the 50mbs for £25 after the discount. Am I missing something?

i renewed few days ago 70mb and phone for £22 a month.. called put cancellation notice in. they rang back next day.

Trying to PM you but won't let me.

Unsurprisingly, no. The deal is not available for existing customers, which is a shame.
My contract finished last month and I just called VM. The best they can do is £38/month (broadband + phone) or £30/month for broadband only.

70mb broadband & landline for £25 with virgin

I give u 100 bones for u phone mate?

Just cancel it they will call you back with a better deal

It's a retention deal, so you would already have to be a Virgin customer for them to offer this.

I'm paying them over £50 a month for just that. All because I'm too afraid of changing providers :disappointed:

I have 100mb m+ tv evening and weekend calls tivo box caller id was £27 went up to £31 a few months ago.I did get a £3 discount for 6 months.which dropped it back to £28 for a while.

​£20 for 100mb, happy with that. Don't have any calls though. Direct from Virgin Media.

I pay like £48 per month with BT for 70mb and phone...no Virgin in my area and they know it :disappointed:

Cancelled, waited for call back 3 days later from retention's, Got new deal.

I'm getting 75mb broadband with unlimited calls including mobiles and 1000 international calls and a new router for £26 a month.

I am on 50 was to be 100 and only have broadband no phone line and pay £34 .15 been trying to get out of contract since sept when it went up no joy now year is up still trying to cancel I hv to press the box every day it goes off about 3/4 times a day I don't play games just check emails no neighbours hv this problem and they keep telling me its a problem in my street

I've clicked on the deal, but uswitch won't let me go any further? Anyone else having problems?

£25 a month for 150mb and phone (talk weekends)here.

Also got a new super hub in the deal.

Am paying £39 for 150mb and phone. Keeps going up every 6 months or so, it did start on £28. Haggled it down to £32 once upon a time, but has since kept on rising.

Called them last week to get rid of the phone line to try make a saving as we don't even use the landline. They told us that the price will be more without the landline...!!

I got a deal with Virgin (as a new customer) for basic free TV with 500GB TiVo Box, 50Mbps Unlimited broadband, Telephone with weekend calls, Line Rental and free Connection/Activation on a 12 month contract for £15/month for 12 months with an initial £50 credit - Works out at the equivalent of £10.83 per month for 12 months.

​who is this with please? is this fibre also?

From what you state here, you are also paying more than £30 a month for 100mbps. 25p more, but more all the same.

I'm currently paying £21.99 for 70Mb/s on a retention deal. No phone line or TV.

any good deals for us existing customers they just keep ripping off and putting our monthly bills up . 2 times in 4 months my bill has gone up.

100mb for £30. Good price as compare to what i am paying.

I have a refer a friend email which would give me another £50 credit but it seems the only way to redeem is by clicking that you get sent in the email which takes you to main virgin site which prices it at £32 annoyingly for 50mb Broadband and calls

Where can I apply the have 50 code for the 100meg. When I click on the link only the 50meg shows.

Am paying £15 for same deal as OP

thanks for posting

Looks like op has updated to include the "HAVE50" voucher - this will take the 100mb down to just under £26/month!

Thanks for clarifying. :smiley:

iam currently with BT and I want to leave. Are there any installation cost to go with virgin? and after 12 months if I decide to go back to non cable provider...will there be any cost? will I lose my current line?

The breakdown suggests a £40 fee if you need an engineer. Any thoughts?

Take it after 12 months it will revert to the standard £40 a month cost?

Good price, I'm paying £26 for 100mb and was very happy with that!

i got a deal with 50mb broadband, unlimited calls to LL and mobiles anytime and Tivo for £20 a month..

Also phone :smiley:

Dog and bone..?

is this deal available to existing customers

Phone

Any good deals for 200mb Broadband... with or without the rag and bone..... cheers :wink:

Thanks Op just what I've been looking for have some heat
