My offer from Virgin Media

Hi all,

Just received a marketing call from VM. They offered me the following:

50Mb cable broadband
"M" phone line (free weekend landline calls)
Line rental included (he said)
"M" TV pack

£25 for first 6 months
£37 thereafter
12 month contract
Free installation

What you think? How does this compare with the bundle offers available now on the web site?

That is the bundle on the website.

Is it? Maybe I've missed something.

When I run the "build your own bundle" configurator it works out at:

£27.99 a month for first 6, then
£43.74 a month thereafter.
Also, on the site it would be an 18 month contract vs the 12 month I been offered over the phone.

I think the above does not take into account the £50 credit when signing up online.

My offer from VM as an existing customer.

50mbps cable on a over subscribed service. USENET P2P FTP and HTTP downloads throttled to [censored] between 9am and 9pm and then sent " detirmental usage" letters when doing stuff overnight (also congested because everyone has been forced to do their stuff between 9pm and 9am)

£45 a month bill and a big [censored] YOU..

Good luck with it. you might have a good experience like we used to. Mainly because all this [censored] was introduced without telling us so most customers can terminate their contract due to a breach of the T and C's

Less people subscribing then and the price would rise to cover it.

The thing from the site is for M+ TV hence the extra cost, M is freeview and costs nothing so it's the same as taking XXL and phone line, 12.50 + line rental for 6 months then 25 + line rental for a further 6 months.
