Deal or Very Good Deal

[cal36288]

I've been looking at the SKY £26 a month offer for Broadband phone and TV. But you need a BT phone line and the cheapest is £11 per month, total £37
I'm currently with Virgin Media ex Ntl/Telewest on a similar package costing £41.50 per month.

I phoned Virgin to see what they could do to match the Sky price and surprise - suprise they have given me a £16.50 discount on each month that I will keep as long as I'm a customer, this means my total is now £25. plus calls.

I passed this info to my son yesterday and he made the call saving him £36.50 per month on his larger TV/Broadband package.

If you are a Virgin Media customer, just call them free on 150, follow the prompts to the "You are thinking of leaving Virgin Media" and select the callback option. They called back within half hour.

I hope this is useful to some of you. Keep Surfing.

Rang 150, listened to all the promps, twice, no 'Are you thinking of leaving Virgin' option. Still waiting for call to be answered by customer services after 12 minutes! Will let you know how I get on.

Yahoo! Success story, same package that I have now for £24 a month less!

If Virgin had had any sense they would have contacted existing Telewest customers and offered them the same package for, say, £10 a month less than they pay now. Everybody would have been happy and thought it was a great deal.

Then again how many people will ring up and ask for a price comparable to Skys offer?

Thanks very much cal36288 if I ever bump into you the beers are on me mate! (Well the first 2 or 3 anyway!)
