Virgin Media - Price increase

Yes if you are a customer

Re slow Tivo boxes, the advice I got was

1. Press Home

2. On the home screen, in quick succession, press Thumbs Down, Thumbs Up, Play, Play

The screen should go black and it clears the Tivo caches - can take 20s or so. For me it resulted in a small improvement, but the Tivo still crawls (but it always has).

I rang up, and pressed the "If you are thinking of leaving us" option. Told the guy I wasn't happy with the price rise. He said my package was ?38.60 a month and he could offer me ?29 a month for six months, then ?32 for the next 11 months so long I took a new 12 month contract.

I'm just about to reduce my Virgin subscription to BB only.

The extra you pay for TV channels is a lot for what you actually get, the few times I get a chance to actually scan the channels offered I'm astonishd how much shite is available (let alone why someone would actual think-up, fund and produce that drivel).

Haven't used landline for a phone call in 5yrs, don't even have such a device plugged-in.

I did talk to Plusnet about BB only, but they want to provide the BB while YOU sort out the phone line separately which to me (having to involve 2x providers) is asking for trouble.

To back-up the Virgin BB service being intermittent, I have a high monthly data subscription on my mobile phone to so I can definitely work from home when opportunity arises.

So they get you either way.

Could you say which package you're on. Is it BB only?

Could you say what the Mb/s is with your package for BB?

The reason I ask is that I have very recently agreed a new one year contract for 50Mb/s BB only for ?22.25 Per Month for six months then ?25.25 for the remainder of the contract period.

Just wondering how that compares to yourself and others?
