When are the next sales likely to happen?
I'm currently waiting for the email from Sky about price rises to trigger the 30 days limit I can leave penalty free. I'm currently looking at a couple of different packages/options, mainly to get 1gb symmetrical (NF area), but I'm curious if there is any chance of a sale anytime soon? Is it likely to be later down the line e.g. Easter?New Forum..theme and design comments
What do you think Now we've lost a lot of facilities that used to be in previous Themes Post editing facility, gone Signatures, gone Users on line, gone Page thread view count, gone Page numbering, gone Video thumbs need cookie acceptance printed over the top of the thumb now Text messages showing in one column about one third of width of page on my screen Ability to view newest posts first in a long thread or to go to the latest post quickly, gone So far this is what I've noticed . Is this an improvement or not? Buffer6Finally pulling the plaster off
Well after many years of doing the 'virgin dance' every time renewal came up I'm finally leaving virgin. I wasnt even on that fantastic a package but the renewal process was even more of a joke this time than previous ones. Currently on Bigger bundle + an extra Tivo Box. Was paying £41.55 a month. That increases to £88.24 from the 19th. Best renewal option (I had £59, £53 beforehand) was £49 which is worse than sky, plus got a bonus for switching. I also save £5 a month on netflix. I chatted them yesterday just to see what the best deal they could offer me for the lowest broadband package and they quoted £52 as the lowest broadband + phone line package (sky is £19.99). I have Toob broadband already which surpasses virgins best offering by a country mile for remote working - just nice to have a second broadband for resilience. Perhaps in two years I might get a loyalty bonus for being a 'new' customer'. Honestly I don't understand the preference of new customers over retaining existing ones.April price hike upsell call
Has anyone else getting relentless calls from an indian based team saying their bill is going up due to April price hikes and trying to upsell? Ive had about 2 calls a day from them. Ive no clue if its legitimate or not. They keep trying to sell me an O2 sim card despite me saying multiple times I am already in an active mobile contract with EE and do not need a sim card. They simply wont take no for an answer. Is this legitimately Virgin and is it possible to get good deals without the bloody SIM card?
