Recontract email - why?

[bubblegun23]

I got an email last week and again today stating - 

"Don’t forget, your Virgin Media contract’s coming to an end soon. Renew today and keep the same superfast speeds, Virgin Media benefits, and O2 perks with our online exclusive offer – and get peace of mind that your new offer price will be locked in until March 2025. Monthly price will increase each April from April 2025 by RPI +3.9%. "

I'm on an 18 month deal until February 2025 anyway.

As far as I can see the link is trying to trick me into removing TNT Sports from my package because the price when my current deal end is the same otherwise.

Seems a bit underhanded. Not pleased.

If TNT Sports is going to be £18 extra we might as well go back to Sky as it's the same price there.

Hi @bubblegun23 

Thanks for posting and welcome back to the community. 

This seems odd if the contract is so far away, I'll send you a PM now to get some details. We may need to feed this back into the project but we'll discuss via PM.

"As far as I can see the link is trying to trick me into removing TNT Sports from my package because the price when my current deal end is the same otherwise."

I think that would not be an unfair assumption! You lose TNT, VM no longer have to pay Warner Brothers for it, but you pay the same to VM. Win/Win - well if you are VM obviously!

Hey Rosebush18, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear this.

TNT sports is now an add on its not included in any package so if you did a renewal you would lose it..

Has this premature renewal prompt from VM coincided with the recent addition of other companies' FTTP broadband services in your area by any chance?
