Moving house next week so I’ve been doing a bit of shopping around. Was keen to look at Virgin’s comptetion, especially as they were so sticky when I tried to cancel the contract at the present house. Putting in pending jobs at the next job I’d have to cancel if I didn’t want it etc.
Eventually brushed her off, but got a call back from “loyalty” £23.50 a month for the life of the contract: 30MB, 70odd channels and a 1TB tivo box, free evening and weekend calls (Dad can’t hear me well on my mobile, and does go on a bit so that’s worth a few quid a month!) Free install.
Might not be 76MB, but the same package on BT with 76MB would be at about £41, plus the install charge.
I’m thinking 30MB will be plenty, not like I’m spending all day online gaming, but maybe it would be worth spending a little bit more for 76MB. Not £18/month, though.
Anyone managed to haggle with BT as a new customer?
