Hello all,

Looking for a little advice if possible, I'm with Virgin at the moment and want to move away from them as they are truly awful, they charge me £72 a month for XL package (all channels except movies&sports) broadband (10meg) and phone (just line rental) i also opted to add sky sports.  I know a few people on here got sky sorted but I forget who did it for everybody, all I really want is Sky sports, a plus box and broadband.  Just wanting to put the feelers out before I go looking for those people that knock on your door asking you to change!!

Any help would be much appreciated, I miss sky more than having a full head of hair!!

Kind Regards,

Sovietsong

Boldie (well his missus) and Rex were the ones with info i think mate

The codes to get everything halfprice for a year are all finished tho, but you can still get discount and money back for both parties just now.

If there's any good ones on can you let me know.

I tried 3 times to get through with the code you gave me before but was put on hold for 20 minutes each time and got bored waiting.

Not complaining or surprised about the long wait because it was a great offer I' m just a bit peeved that I didn't get it.

In reply to OP I get the same virgin package as you but without the sport and it's £46.

You could ring Virgin and ask for customer retention then say you're leaving if they don't reduce it significantly. Worth a try.

If you can get a good Sky deal though then that's better but try to keep your Virgin broadband. It's loads better.

They have offered...

Broadband (10meg)
All tv channels excluding movies
Phone (no free calls)

A vigin + box for 30 quid and no monthly charge.

All coming in at 59.50.

All I want is the sports and broadband with a plus box. Not really fused about anything else. The missus likes music!

Sky broadband comes free, and I never have any problems with mine. Well, I pay £5, I think, for the faster connection, but it's still more than adequate.
