    Eyup,

    I work for Virgin Media O2 and we have access to family and friends discounts that we are encouraged to share. I am told they are good deals from Virgin Media for Broadband and TV, plus potential O2 SIM benefits. They've got some 'special' Black Friday offers on at the minute. There are various packages which are discounted, so give us a shout if anyone is interested and I will share the link to the portal where you can see what's on offer and pick your own bundle if any of them work for you. I just need your email to send it to.

    There's no strings attached, I'll just send you the link and if you want to sign up you do it through the portal. If there's nothing that suits you, just delete it and get on with your day.

    Please note, these offers are only open to New customers joining Virgin Media who haven’t had an active account in the previous 180 days.

    Just finished with them back in October. Contract was up and been with them since Blueyonder days, wouldn't offer me any discount whatsoever. Even when I put my 30 days notice in, didn't get a single call from retentions so went with Vodafone on City Fibre network and sky for TV and still saving with what Virgin were going to charge me

    Echo this, been with them best part of 20 years, spending circa £150 a month with them.
    Offered no discount to stay, no retention call etc.

    Would add a lad I know was an engineer for them and was known as ‘the Virgin man’ on the local FB sites because he was constantly on offering similar to OP and answering queries and tech advice despite getting pellets from some.
    Believe he won awards from Virgin for it but then some big wig took exception to a post he replied to and told him he wasn’t allowed to do it anymore.
    Great employee who was treated awfully

    Even when I put notice in they didn't offer me anything to convince me to stay. Will never entertain virgin again

    Whilst they aren't the greatest to deal with I've had no issues renegotiating my contract with virgin twice, I only have broadband with them now, i was paying £61 a month rang up and got it down to £37, always say that I recieve marketing emails offering me new deals for new customers and bang on about 17 years loyalty etc etc

    I wouldn't go with Virgin again, we swapped from BT a few years ago as they were massively cheaper, unfortunately the price went up on a regular basis until they were significantly dearer than BT.

    I'm 6 months into my second 18 month term with Virgin at the moment and can't say anything to fault them to be honest.

    I rang them when I was approaching the end of my first term price was going to go up to something like £130 per month the £60 I was paying at the time (for their max bundle or whatever it was called, fastest broadband and full TV package etc).

    I may have got lucky as I ended up speaking to a lovely chap based down in Devon, worked for Virgin a couple of days per week in semi retirement, couldn't have been more helpful. I'm paying the same again, had to take up an 02 phone contract but that also worked out cost effective as my previous Three deal has expired and they wouldn't budge, so I'm about £7 per month better off including the phone package.

    Fibre broadband has been flawless, only slight gripe is that their Hub doesn't produce a strong signal so ended up getting a TP Link Deco Mesh network and never looked back.

    In an attempt to take the heat off the OP.........I'll just say I'm gobsmacked at the amount some folk pay to watch TV.
    BT broadband £29 and a firestick, job done.
    Obvs you have to be scruple free re the legalities of this arrangement.

    8 years since I had Virgin, they were crap then too. :D

    They will provide you with a free booster if the hub isn't strong enough to reach throughout your property.

    Agreed, I can't believe what some people are prepared to pay. We pay £16 per month for broadband, no landline, no Sky, no Virgin, no Netflix, no Prime, no nowt, German satellite TV with hundreds of channels, free of charge, standard Freeview channels from the UK, free of charge.

    We do pay a TV licence though, which works out at around £13 per month, so I suppose we are paying around £30 per month all in.

    What's BT like? Do you have TV through them?

    We're with virgin now, but moving house soon to a village where it's not available. BT is though.
