Hope we're all enjoying a nice Bank Holiday weekend guys, just thought I'd drop a message about my Virgin Broadband service.
I only have broadband and weekend phone.
Its shit. Frankly. For the past few weeks ive had intermittent service, completely down in the evening, back up, off again....
My original contract was taken out in 2017 for 12 months and the price was introductory for £37 a month to 40 something after the 12 month period. Well, the price has kept creeping up ever since and the service has been getting worse. Its currently sat at £50.99 a month!!
So I just gave them a call to see what package I could change to. Now YMMV.
They tried telling me that I couldnt switch to a different package because Im under contract and I'd have to cancel which would then take 6 months.....what.
So I called their bluff and told them if they cant switch me to a cheaper option as Im out of contract (its now over 2 years since I signed a 12 month deal!!!) then I want to cancel.
They passed me to the cancellation team.
2 minutes later and my bill is reduced to £35 a month for the same deal Im on.
Give them a call. The prices are ridiculous.
Its now cheaper than it was when I first signed up 2 years ago and my speed has doubled since then.
Nuts.
