Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 19, 2016 Site Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2016 I think this is the deal that Garrp has just signed up for, looks good Not half. And they wonder why folk leave. Sick of funding deals for newcomers. Anyway checked now TV. Can have sky sports for £34 a month. Still way cheaper to add that to a similarly priced ee bundle(not that I will) at £70 ish compared to Sky's £108 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I've been on the phone to Virgin threatening to leave....they've pretty much matched the deal, and increased me to the 200mbps broadband (or will tomorrow when my new hub arrives) - they've also chucked 6 months of free Netflix in as well which is nice They reckon they'll send me a new set top box in the next couple of months that will rival Sky Q.....we'll see if that happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could interesting for zgemma boxes with cable, they may take the opportunity of changing the security, that said all the TiVo boxes would have to be replaced, expensive. Its a bit like sky only being able to stop the HD channels on zgemma boxes because some users still have the SD boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted October 19, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 19, 2016 i got mine down about 30 quid without threatening to leave added to cancelling an unused multiroom i was happy about 50 a month better off virgin would still be cheaper as id have had uhd and two more bt subs but the sky kit is miles better enquired about sky q and apparently monthly cost is the same but 99 quid install on each box 297 quid??? fcuk off one upside, sky q boxes belong to sky so any breakdowns outside 12 months are on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweep Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 That 200 speed broadband- is it permanent for the same price or is it for a fixed period after which you'll have to pay for it? The total package price, inckuding thus 200mb, is fixed for 12 months (and it's a 12 month contract) - I'll worry about it when that ends....

Sweep Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) I've been on the phone to Virgin threatening to leave....they've pretty much matched the deal, and increased me to the 200mbps broadband (or will tomorrow when my new hub arrives) - they've also chucked 6 months of free Netflix in as well which is nice They reckon they'll send me a new set top box in the next couple of months that will rival Sky Q.....we'll see if that happens Cunts have just rung me up and said they are no longer able to honour this deal as of today.......I said it was agreed last night. A few minutes of arguing, and I'm now waiting for a supervisor to call me back. Bunch of Twunts Edit: A nice man rang me back and apologised, he said they would honour the deal that I was offered yesterday....they have to do it by charging me their normal price each month and then have a rolling credit to bring my overall cost down. He said it's been ridiculous the last few days with people wanting the Sky deal matching. He said that Virgin are really struggling to compete with the deal. So now this is where I am...£60 per month, and I get 200mb broadband, unlimited calls on the landline (which never gets used anyway), XL TV Package, SkySports HD, SkyFilms HD, BT Sports HD and ESPN Sports HD.....and 6 mnths free Netflix. I'm reasonably pleased with that Edited October 20, 2016 by Sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I wonder that sometimes My porn choices stream just fine on 20gb speeds Anyhow since i binned off sky they mither me every week with 60 percent off plus 75 credit. I must be 500 quid up at least in the last 12 months since i bought an openbox. Wish i did it years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect they're all useless. I've sacked BT off as it was costing more than my gas and leccy, which can't be right. Lad I know has had massive problems with them, the CEO is involved but all their staff are Indians working to scripts. At least Sky are Scotch and speak some of the lingo, even if it takes 30 minutes to get through to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
