Virgin called yesterday morning. I missed the call.
They called again just and offered 200mb for £26 and 100mb for £21.

Took the 200mb. No phone included.

Happy with that considering I was paying £61.50 with rubbish channels and BTSport.

Wow that is terrific. Well done. £14 cheaper than my deal. Will they g'tee no price rises across contract?

Ok, just called them and I've gone from £46 down to £32, 12 month contract.
200mb plus phone to 100mb plus phone.

I could do the cancellation dance but it might be pushing things too far.

Just tested:
111.52 Mb Download speed
5.77Mb upload
16 ms ping time

My bro in law is paying £45 for the same package but I’m not going to tell him what I got it for.
He took the offer that the first caller gave him.
I found last year they offer you better after you say no thanks I still want to cancel.

If they try and increase I’ll just call up to try and cancel again and hope they keep it at £26.

Has anyone who actually cancelled their account had any confirmation? I cancelled 2 weeks ago now, I know my last day, but I’ve not had any email or anything from Virgin to confirm I cancelled.

Might be worthwhile logging in and checking what your account says.

I had a confirmation email within 48 hours of my telling them to cancel
