Virgin Media offered me £26.00 a month for 120/12 broadband offer when I told them I am going to leave them because of price rise and join BT FTTC. So, a massive discount for me £9 off a month for a whole 2 years (discount loyalty stay for two years) but I have to take a 12 months contract which I did. The offer is for broadband stand alone with no tv or no phone.

Nice one Virgin Media. 126Meg all last weekend with 150GB downloading and no STM at all.

when i called up about it they advised me that it would be £26 a month for 120/12 until october then £28.50 after this. (due to the £2.50 increase)

did they clarify this with you?

They say it will be including price rise after october it stay at £26.00 a month because the price at the moment is £23.50 for August and September

azzercam - yes u're are right. I called up virgin and they say my current price at the moment is £26 will rise to £28.50. Cheek of last OP told me it was £23.50 rise to £26 in october. Virgin had checked on my account notes and found it. They apology for given me wrong information when I sign up and credit me £30 on my account to cover price increase.

Nice one Virgin Media.

... now I find I have nothing to download any more.

You mean that you've now downloaded the whole internet?!

There's always more.

I accepted the deal as now less than competition and the virgin line is ok in my area, no real congestion like there was about a year ago.

however i do hope virgin give me a reason to leave in about 6 months time... another price rise like feb this year as from about jan/feb there will be 1GB broadband in my area (bournemouth) for £30-40 per month via gigler.

they currently cover bh9, bh10 and bh11 and due to lay the fibre network in my area bh12 over the next 6 months.

1Gb download
500Mb upload

pure fibre, average ping of 3ms lol

cant wait
