Virgin Deals & Offers

...if you are Virgin's customer go and haggle (y)

Look at your bill, they seem to have an ability to always do it wrong, always in their favour! I got a discounted 12 month contract and also an account credit. The credit disappeared very quickly. When I looked in to it, It turned out they had charged the full price not the discounted price, meaning the account credit was used up much more quickly.. Its not obvious because of the way they set out the bill, with the various discounts they use, to get your final price. Be warned...

No, not even Virgin's new Project Lightning FTTH in a rural areas. So no running IPTV home servers for you:)

So not a true fibre connection?

Virgin Media is a cable operator. It use hybrid technology (HFC), mixture of coaxial copper and fibre-optics, based on DOCSIS. Hence their asymmetrical up/down speeds. POTS ( copper phone lines) used for good old telephone services only.

Vodafone is much better in London . I have Vodafone and it has very good speed even in Central London. But Virgin and EE Essentials never worked in Central London for me outside the house .

Real, as seen in Londn Metro newspaper today

Even though QUIDCO cashback has now been reduced to £96, it still makes the overall cost of the deal over £2 p.m. less than with TCB. With repeated comments on here about non payment from QUIDCO, it might be a better deal if TCB matched the cashback and paid out.

Nope.... Just a sim only on virgin mobile.... Don't have any other of their services.... I was just smart enough to get it during the black Friday sale last year.... As this year's black Friday it was only 200gb for £20...

Anyone caught a flame deer yet?

Yeah all of the hubs aren't good but the 3 is the worse due to the Puma chipset it uses. Even in modem mode latency is a problem.

I was upgraded from Super Hub 2 to Super Hub 3 when I was with Virgin but it didn't improve WifI coverage much which was patchy. Found the TalkTalk unit doesn't have the same issue in my house and appears to work much better (obviously not with Virgin cable). I guess if its free that's OK but don't expect much.

All new-ish Cat 5e cables, not that it would effect latency.

My 2 is fine to be fair, WiFi all round house

How old is your Ethernet cable is it cat 5 ?

So could some very nice, helpful person that was in the emergency services help someone that wasn't and was in desperate need of some cheap virgin experience days vouchers for an anniversary let's say? Or would that not be possible. But confused by this deal :/

Like me

or know someone that is ;)

Ohhh I take it to be a blue light card holder you have to be employed by one of the emergency services....boo hoo!

Ooh any ideas as to where I can get the 20% virgin gift cards/vouchers please peeps, sounds like a good deal to me....thanks op x

I rang and it possibly was retentions I spoke to because either my husband was going to leave and move to o2 or I was going to move over to Virgin.

Did your husband get this via retentions? Or just asked for a change to a new plan? My brother is on virgin mobile so he could do with that plan. Many thanks

We had an account for my husband so he changed his as an existing customer but mine was a new one .

Was this as a new or existing customer?

Try calling virgin directly. I got 20gb and unlimited minutes and texts for £10 per month. Although be aware that signal is poor.

Post office had a good deal, £15.99 a month for two year's, am contemplating my options.

Is this not the way of life these days? Gone are the days of customer loyalty - I remember when Orange was around I used to get 10% off my bill each time i renewed. Ended up getting to the point where they couldn't go any lower before EE took over. The only small perk to switching around each year is cashback offers but I'd much rather just pay less rather then waiting 6 months to then find out a cashback claim was not tracked thanks to HUKD tracking cookies over ruling TopCashBack cookies. (shock)

I am the same, tried calling last night but after 40 minutes gave up. every year its a price increase, I do not need such speeds anyway, no way would i ever have anymore services off these people. What is the alternative though when they disconnect?

Just had all my services deactivated as I declined their new contract offer with a reduction in bb speed to 50mbs from 100mbs for an increased monthly charge. Had enough of the annual having to haggle.

Works out cheaper to take a package than just broadband

Maybe if you buy it from China, UK model has band 20

This is definitely microUSB.

Honor 10 Lite has band 20 and micro USB.

I don't think the Honor 10 Lite has Band20 but the P Smart does... for those who think it's important.

IIRC this has USB C and the P Smart has micro USB

That's exactly what I got today with £50 credit as well, happy with that so not going to mess about more. Got offered the above but for £70 yesterday just laughed at that and asked they cancel. Called back today and got it for £50 plus £50 credit for "the inconvenience of having to call back for a better deal", 12month contract but 18 month offer so after 12 months I only give a month's notice if I want to cancel. Suits me fine for another 18months.

I was moving house and that was the deal they gave to stay

Is that a retention deal ?

I've just got 2 x v6 boxes. 350mb broadband Phone line Mix TV and sky sports with HD for £50 a month Plus they cleared my months bill and gave £50 credit

You get that by signing up as a new customer. You select it when going through online order. Gets taken off your first bill, etc... Get your other half to sign up. Plus get £140 cash back via Quidco.

very tempting offer

Good deal this. Currently with 3 on 12gb for £12 but they're not offering any retention deal. This deal now has £66 Topcashback so I've got my pac code and heading over to Virgin. Cheers

If you're on a sim only with EE be sure to give them a call. They gave me £16 with 25GB and unlimited minutes. Just saves the hassle of changing over.

It does work.. you select 'Not a Virgin Media Customer' and go to the next page, then select 'Add Lifetime Triple Data' for £0.00 and that's it. Hope this helps

cold: only available for exisitng virgin customers error i got : We see you are a non Virgin Media customer and you selected one of our inclusive plans. Only non inclusive plans are available to you. Please make your selection only from these plans that we offer you.

They wouldn’t budge. Only offered me a full house bundle with free cinema for £75 p/m. 200mb and phone. Oh well, I tried

£150 Credit on this deal now

Thanks I’ll try

I just said my contract is up and i see the offer online and they said they would do it.i didnt get vouchers as im existing customer but got £50credit on first bill

What did you say? I threatened to cancel and they wouldn’t budge.

In case of interest in this, TCB finally paid out my £108 in cashback. I still find that just a little bit crazy....... (You can of course, also have it paid out with a further 12.5% bonus to virgin experience days gift card :) )

i did!

The "If you take the cash back" is not a deal.

If you have flying points with virgin Atlantic you can also convert 12500 to a £50 virgin experience voucher (y)

can i refund it if my cashback is not tracked?

In all fairness I've not had many problems with them in ten years or so, but on those occasions they've been a complete pain to deal with and point blank refuse to contemplate the issue might be at their end. Tech support are worse than useless too. One issue with a dodgy endpoint took them a month to fix, despite it being plainly obvious to anyone who can do basic fault finding that the issue was inside their network. That said, it's rare I get less than I'm paying for. This is in the Greater Manchester area FWIW.

Seems my 1 year contract has just expired and my 200Mb basic phone and TV that was £37 has now gone up to £52. Bill just arrived 5 minutes ago by email. Had loads of issues, so I wont miss when I cancel.

213Mbps? It's like driving a car that does 5mpg, paying cash for pointless performance 99.9% of the time, 36mb and I can dload a movie in a few mins and stream Netflix. Huge families or student houses, sure... everyone else... it's about number willy waving.

I've been absolutely conned. I'm a customer of 2 years and made out they was doing me a favour for 50mb and 50 quid credit for 25 per month. I've got the broadband with no phone as well.

Yep deal was £25 with bill credit for 200mb, landline + weekend calls There was a decent offer on TV + 100mb at the time which helped as I just argued I didn’t need TV and would rather keep quick internet

Being existing customer manger to get £3 rolling discount through retentions £13 for 30gb data

Go via TopCashback or Quidco for £31 cashback. If that pays the effective monthly cost would be £13.42.

Where have those other threads of the cheap Pixel 3 deals gone?

No way you sat through an hour of that video?! (lol) It's a great phone.

Better than my s8+ for sure

That's great to hear, I'm really looking forward to getting it now, how is the battery life?

Phone is amazing. Camera is unreal! I just called, asked to cancel and when they asked why I just told them my existing contract provider offered a better deal so I changed my mind and are staying with them instead.

Indeed worthy upgrade! I'd like to point out also that my Pixel 1 still very smooth in 2019...on Pie of course. Great gadget, almost as good as Samsung S7.

Agree completely, informative comment

Yes, S7 wonderful still (2016 model) but this is one of best devices of 2018

This deal has expired. Not available online and in-store.

I was charged £12 despite double checking it had been cancelled. It appears it’s just automatic. Once charged I phoned again and they processed a refund, back in my account 2 days later.

£28 with TopCashback now (was previously £14),

I rang up yesterday to find out if there were any deals and the lady offered me 6gb for £7 a month as I am also a broadband customer. So if going for this and you have other virgin services worth asking, might save you £2 a month.

They're all at it... say a deal price but never stick to it... never anything in writing most of the time....

Thanks for the tip, called up Plus Net and they couldn't price match but upgraded my £10pm deal to 8gb with unlimited calls and texts (y)

I also went from EE to Virgin mobile.The reviews may be poor but personally I've had no issues with Virgin mobile.

Mine neither.

It didn’t add anything else onto my fare.

This doesn’t include taxes

Booked LHR to JFK with BA in school holidays October 2019 for £251 p.p

I’ve booked London to LA for Feb half term (Ours is 9th-15th) for £407pp including luggage and seat. Could have saved £100pp booking flight only. Going to hire a car and drive to Vegas for 2 nights :)
