      thing is with vm one person will tell you one thing, and another person another thing, when i coughed up for xl tv the first person i spoke to ( indian call centre said ?54 for xl tv 20mb bb and phone ) then i phoned again and selected the "thinking of leaving us option" and got nice english lady price went doon to ?40.49p big difference eh, another tip with vm is, if you need to speak to them about anything all ways select the thinking of leaving us option and you will all ways get english speaking person, then say sorry think im in the wrong place but while im here can you deal with it nowt worse than trying to explain your prob to a broad speaking indian in a indian call centre just winds you up imagine a broad speaking scot and a broad speaking indian trying to have a convo

              Virgins ?5 rise retracted

              Virgin have deducted the ?5 rise they added to my account. I told them to put a note on my account for the next time they put a rise on my account to also notify me with a date as to the earliest possible date the can disconnect me as they will no longer be required. Thanks for your posts guys found them interesting.

                Paper billing is ?1.50 for me.

                They can increase their prices whenever they like. Don't try to fight it. Resistance is futile.

                  Just tell them lies! We told them the engineer hadn't appeared to install our kids boxes (it was never booked) so a so they checked and obviously there was no record if it. She asked to take the order again and we said will it still be free boxes and install as agreed and she said no. So we told her just to take sports and movies off while she was in the line. Needless to say we got a phone call shortly after to arrange free boxes and install.

                  And not sure about the HD sub but word has it that VIP customers will get it free soon so don't pay for it now and wait. (we asked for a deal on it and were told that offers were up and comming which kinda verifies it)

                    Scotty_dotty. I'm reading the last line of your post with reference to paying for HD is you talking about sly, cos vermin HD is already free (sorta).

                      Your sky sports and movies are ?7 extra for HD are they not or have I missed a trick? I know the rest of them are free but if it's changed let me know coz mines ain't switched on. Cheers.
