Upgrading a brand new line that was on a deal?
Last week my fibre line was fully installed and now up and running - it took about a month to actually get the install process all complete due to Xmas and new year. The contract was a gig1 deal, where you are not charged for the first 3 months. happy with the install service but with 2 people working from home and significant need for downloads, we wanted to upgrade from gig1 to gig2 to future proof too. This doesn’t seem like an option though - I’m unable to upgrade on the app or online, and I tried chat and I tried phoning. No one can do an upgrade to the current gig2 deals. it seems silly because technically I’m in the 14 day cool off period, so, theoretically I could cancel my contract and start a new one on gig2 - but that would mean waiting times and more hassle for virgin and myself. I’m effectively offering to lock myself into a new contract and pay more money on the gig2 deal but nobody seems able to help. Is this a limitation on new accounts or just a frustrating request that isn’t catered for?
