Virgin Media

[DPW]

Anyone have it? 

 

If so, any good? 

 

Just ditched sky and thinking of going with Virgin Media. Looking at the Full House sports and movies bundle. Includes Sky Sports and BT sports, movies, phone and 200mb internet. This works out at £80 with £100 voucher back. Cheaper than Sky offered after several threats to leave, and hopefully more reliable broadband with BT sports.

 

On a separate note, pisses me off no end you have to haggle over your tv/internet costs once a year. Bring back oldschool aerials.

I've got it and have no complaints although I find it's a wee bit on the steep side and leaving them can apparently be a bit of a cunt.

 

The internet connection is brilliant.

[Bjornebye]

I prefer sky simply because it's easier to navigate and I've memorised all the important channel numbers but Virgins as good other than that.

[Arl arse]

It's very good once you get it up and running, watch out for connection fee's and the cunts taking double bubble off you in the first month.

[Strontium]

It's fine so long as you resign yourself to never seeing Sky Atlantic as Virgin are too tight to pony up the fee for it.

[sir roger]

Due to my daughter coming home after renting for 6 months we ended up in an odd situation a few years back whereby we had Sky upstairs & Virgin Media downstairs as she had signed for 12 months.

 

We much preferred Virgin Media.

 

Pros;  Broadband, reliability, customer service.

Cons;  No Sky Atlantic

[Stickman]

Guess it depends which cunt you want to give money to

Never heard of the cunt.

Can never get my cunting Kodi box working. No matter how much i update the channels i get fuck all

[VladimirIlyich]

Sky Atlantic's series are always a week or two behind the internet anyway.

I've never used a box but I'm a dab hand at it on the Firestick. It should be easy enough to figure out how the box works though. If you're not getting any use out of it, you can send it to me if you want? I'll set it up for you in a simple way, with everything you want on it and get it sent back to you pronto. PM me if you want mate and have a chat about it.

[Grinch]

There's boxes you can get that even have menus like sky digital.

 

64 quid or thereabouts on the box. 15 quid yearly line rental

 

At this stage its lunacy to pay a big monthly sub to any one for tv.

 

It's not even needed sinxe a next gen console has every tv show or movie ever made at the click of a few buttons on putlocker.

[DPW]

Thanks for the Intel mates and mates.

 

Went for the plunge. It's being installed right now.

 

Free of sky.

 

Exciting.

LFC TV available to all Virgin Media subscribers until 3rd April.

We had Virgin Media when I was a student, it was shit and Branson is a twat.

 

Hope this helps.

[Dougie Do'ins]

Virgins WiFi is second to none in my humble opinion.

[Strontium]

I'm quite happy with the service. Area went down about midnight the other day, they had it back up and running by 3.30am.

[tokyojoe]

I've had them since it was NTL. Very few complaints. Internet speed is excellent and customer service very good.

[Red74]

These bastards turned up unannounced outside my house last year and proceeded to dig up the pavement right up to the top of the street leaving the street looking a mess. When we complained, the council said theres nothing they or we can do as there is a law for service providers to be able to do this. Although we didn't agree with it, we had to accept it but the council said they'd be getting them back out to redo the mess they'd caused. 

 

Anyway, my broadband was up for renewal the other day so I called virgin to see if I could blag a big discount. Turns out that despite tearing the street up 12 months ago, we can't actually get Virgin after all and our street still looks a mess. Bastards

[Preston Red]

Bummed me this month for my upgrade. Didn't tell me about the "pro-rata" charges and when I rang up to boot off the cunts just hide behind the terms and conditions excuse.

 

Cunts.

[VladimirIlyich]

Quickest and best internet we've ever had. Most expensive too.

[Brownie]

I've just bought a new build house and part of the deal is that we get 3 months free of the Full House bundle. I'm a month into it and in summary I find the internet to be boss (getting about 130 mb) and the TV to be nowhere near as good as Sky in terms of availability, convenience and useability.

 

So much so i've already ordered Sky on a discount because we left before the move.
