They might possibly ring you up if you have cancelled and offer you a deal, the best
forum for finding deals and discussing this is M.S.E. Forum. |

I cancelled my VirginMedia package and swapped it for broadband only with reduced speed (100 Mb down to 50 Mb) - £30/month.
Best thing I ever done. Its all you need. |

BT won't put fibre in our block because not enough people have asked for it.. but it's been put in
the block of private flats over the road. |
|
By:
Breeding can you not pick up a signal from over the road or get a very long cable
If a mate stays in the block just use his/her router and split the bills |

I'm with Virmin, and was paying £84 a month for phone (anytime calls), b/band and xl tv package. Phoned them saying I wanted to ditch the tv package altogether, and they offered me basic (freeview type?) tv package for £48 (as well as the phone and b/band). I accepted this, and a few days later they phoned me and offered to reinstate my tv package to xl for another 2 quid a month. Sort of happy with that, saving £408 a year.

Can't get a signal it's too far.
 |

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm paying £92 per month for XL TV, Sky Sports, 100mb BB and landline. Someone on Mse got them down to £18 per month for 100mb BB without a landline. That would do me.

By:
johnizere, you don't need to pay for the phone line anymore. they were forced to end that scam a while ago. ditch the phone line and save a few quid.

I would never use Virgin ever again. A few years ago, I moved house, to a place with no cable, so I couldn't have Virgin even if I wanted to. They collected my TV box the day before my month was up, then discontinued my broadband address without warning - which was a REAL pain.
I sent letters to everyone I could find who was high up at Virgin, but it got me nowhere, except them telling me I should have had a month's warning. Very pricey and a dreadful company. |

By:
They came and collected a box ? Never heard of that
|
|
By:
The problem I have is that there is a very poor signal for mobiles of any network in my area. I have to go outside in the street or garden to find a signal lol. I get texts hours late when I go out in the car!
Home phone is more or less my only option.... other than move! |

Well we best find you a good estate agent as this is not on

I had Tiscali , Talk Talk and many SKY contracts broken and no one ever turned up.In Scotland though Bailiffs are illegal though like catalogues and all that sh1t they know it's pointless chasing. |

What is the best streaming box for a Samsung smart tv, apparently they run on a different OS system to android?
|
|
By:
you connect the box using an hdmi cable and select it using the source button on your tv remote, it doesn't matter what tv you have (as long as it has hdmi ports).

Thanks dave. Getting confused from trying to download the Now TV app on to my Samsung smart tv.

Johnizere, you have a landline ?

If you can live without HD. I took a chance with one of these, 3 months later still all good.

Virgin just called and offered BB only deal. 150mb for £22.95 per month.
|
|
By:
The problem that I see is that even if you cut out most of the services from these companies, you still have to pay the extortionate line rental fee which is about £20 per month for Virgin Media. My deal is a bit pricey, but considering what I get, it's not too bad.
I get the 150Mb speed BB, the basic TV package which includes the ATR racing channel (Freeview doesn't include that) and the telephone landline with free calls (24/7) to other UK landlines and also includes free calls to 0870 and 0845 numbers - all for about £50 per month. I opted to pay the 12 month upfront fee for line rental to receive a discount on that which works out at about 15% compared with paying it monthly. The discount used to be double that at 30%, but they have since reduced it. |
|
By:
GoOnThen - that's interesting, because my mate has a similar deal with Virgin, but not as cheap.
He gets the slowest BB only option at 50Mb (no telly and no landline) for £30 per month. Sounds like he needs to renegotiate if what you have is correct! |
|
By:
Yes moke it looks a good deal. I haven't accepted it yet as my disconnection date is 19th May . I'll see if they can better it closer to that date. Meanwhile I've ordered a T95Z plus box and am currently getting to grips with streaming. A whole new world for me.
|
|
By:
Deal finally done. Disconnection put back to 30th May. Then it's broadband only. 150mb at £22.25 pm.

Fu ck I'm paying about £115 to a £125 a month, madness when I mainly watch the first four channels
