Title: Switching to sky
Post by: EMD on 11 September 2015, 11:10:34
Ive been with virgin media for a few years but the prices are creeping up , but i only have broadband and phone . The wifi is crap and have had many router changes and still no use  :( So im trying Sky fibre and see if its any better  :-\
Virgin tried to keep me , if i could have understood the voice on the other end of the phone i mite have accepted  ::)

Oh and my father is switching from virgin to sky in a few months , he would have done it straight away but the virgin vermin's wanted £260 cancellation fee  >:( >:(

Have you signed on the dotted line? If not I can get you:

SkyTV + Family Pack
Broadband Unlimited or half price Sky Fibre Unlimited instead

All for free basically, just the cost of line rental (£16.50) a month  :)

For your TV yes, Sky/FreeSat/Freeview ect.

For internet? No, you need a BT line.  Which I'm sure if you haggle hard enough, BT would install for free if you took out their new TV packs

Not a chance. If the regulator found out BT ever did anything like that, BT would probably lose its licence.

Hummm odd. Few years ago, BT offered to install a line for free in order to switch a Virgin Media customer  :-\

They can only do that if a line previously existed at the premises, and can still be used (allowing for minor maintenance).

Anything else could easily be misconstrued as unfair competition.

Reconnection suggests there was a line there at some point, which Jaime said.
