With discounts expiring our Virgin Media has gone up from under £90 to £130 so I phoned them up for a moan yesterday and to ask them to re-apply the discounts to be told I could have £9 off for the next 12 months. So I told them that wasn't good enough and to cancel which will take effect in 30 days.
We have:
- 'Full House' TV with Sky Sports but not Movies - I'd happily cut back on TV but if I gave up Sky Sports I'd spend more in the pub than the cost of the subscription
- 200MB broadband - on the face of it, I'd say we need this (with three teenagers in the house) but it wasn't all that long ago that Virgin's max here was 50MB and we coped with that so we'd obviously be able to survive on the 70MB that BT reckon they can give me.
- Landline - that we barely use but is bundled with the TV and broadband so it would cost us more to not have the landline
Anyone played this game with Virgin recently?
When did they get back to you (assuming they did)? Was the retention off any good?
