sorted byAlso, there is so much on here about how bad the virgin broadband is but it seems to be just poor quality routers. I WFH so need a reliable connection so put mine straight in modem only mode, paired it with a TP-Link ER-605 Router and an existing TP-Link AC1750 WAP and have had rock solid broadband and Wi-Fi.
I use freshping to ping my NAS every minute and have seen no downtime since the brief outage when I was upgraded to 1gig.
Tell them you are leaving if they don't match your existing price. They probably won't but you should get a call, after you have given notice, from their retentions team who are able to offer the deals. Worse case, you can cancel the cancellation if the call doesn't come. (edited)
Well mine was upgraded automatically to 1gig
I told them I was leaving, with the price increase. I "left" then got a phone call a few days later giving me 200mbps with no phone for £28 for 18months
As others have said go through usual options to cancel, tell them what you want to stay. They will likely tell you that’s not possible / new customer offer only so give your notice to cancel your contract.
A few days later someone will call and offer you much better deals.
I’ve literally done the same. They offered me 100mb for £26 as the best offer I’ll get. Cancelled and they called back to offer 200mb for £20 plus got upgraded to next tier as now also have O2 sim.
That's right, once your service with us get activated, just contact O2 to connect your O2 account to your Virgin account, cool?
— I checked this with o2, you simply just go to my o2 and connect the accounts that way. Ensure both addresses match for double data and speed increase including up to 3 pods for no extra cost.
Good deal better! (edited)
They have a good phillipino team now who just throw discount at you! It's great, before I couldn't get any discount worth having and now I'm enjoying my rate! (edited)
NO
No line rental anymore. Price advertised is the price you pay.
They are shifty that's for sure. Rang to cancel. Turned down 2 phone calls and then on the third they offered 350 for £26 a month
getting roughly 385 meg
And it will shoot back up, my only regret is I tolerated these peoples service in my home for so long. Never again, constantly playing cat and mouse, listening to their lies and suffering a poor service.
Good spot OP if you can bag the deal posted.
B
Good to know
If you have O2 pay monthly contract on your name - you have to purchase this plan under your name and once installed, it will be upgraded to 1Gig (If available in your area)
virginmedia.com/vir…-o2
It works for sure.
Can vouch for this. I'm the same. Was on M350 speed Broadband and when I got my £10 a month o2 sim I was boosted up to M500! Got double sim data to 40gb and 6 months Disney plus free! I also bought an Asus gaming modem ASUS RT-AX58U WIFI 6 and put the (shockingly bad) virgin router into modem mode and now get constant speeds exceeding my limit of 550mb download and around 35mb upload in WiFi upstairs! Paying 34 a month for this but will expect a price rise soon as coming up to our 1 year
Cancel your BT service and when they have given you your disconnection date change your Virgin install date to the day before.
I gave my 30 days notice and signed up in my wife's name (I didn't get a call back from the retentions team).
Choose self install and when your old service gets disconnected just hook up the new router, took about 30 minutes to be back up and running. (edited)
It was the last time this offer was on

Didn't help me much but u might have some luck?
Well we've just been told we'll start paying £54 for 150mbps in a few weeks. Been with them for 3 years.
Apparently not
Might be worth editing the offer so that no one jumps on the deal expecting 1 gig. (edited)
I seriously doubt this. If you buy O2 Sim via Uswitch or MSM - it still applies Volt
Just telling what the virgin chap said
Yes, I know - but I seriously don't believe what he/she said.
It has been in my case in the past (haven't tried with your wife but have been lucky with my own husband )
Obviously bear in mind that credit checks etc will apply. You may also get some push back about them having an existing line already and whether it is fraudulent, but with the last one they offered me double speed, 2 years without a price increase, etc, for 50p more (although I was leaving because of the price hike)
I didn’t see anywhere they’ll upgrade you to a gig though for been on o2?
Already on UFO fibre here for £27.50.
Have you just signed up today or was this a previous Quidco offer.
How did you manage that, I was an oomph customer and they are now issuing me this at 84.
Works, just make the switch and don't discuss with them (edited)
Can you give me some tips on what to say to the Retention team.
My mum was paying £27 a month for 108mb then her contract ran out and now she's paying £54 a month .thanks
No, that’s the total I pay
Been going through the usual dance with them on contract renewal yearly until now.
Last deal I was on
350 mb broadband
TV maxit
3 tivo boxes
Landline with weekend calls
For £46.50
This time when negotiating they refused to offer anything near the price
So cancelled and now tv and broadband gone as no call back with a good offer was made.
Only Landline remaining so have cancelled that too
Atm got a 5g router with Vodafone sim as a temporary solution until I find something else more permanent (edited)
