Is this a decent deal?

Yeah, don't accept that. Call them back. I was offered 200mb (broadband only, no phone) for £30.
does that include line rental? if so then good deal.
The normal price for 350MB is like £52 a month with no deals.
I'm currently on a deal where I get it for £36.50 for 6 months then £39.50 for 6 months so yours is slightly better.
They had just bumped me back up to £42.50 a month from £39 a month and if i waited another 6 months I'd be up to £50 a month.
Can you get it cheaper? Probably if you got the right person and you are prepared with the hassle and haggling with another 10 call centre workers. But it would be like £35 a month at best I imagine for all that hassle and even then it would be dependent on your luck.
I would go for it. You won't get much more off. I'd maybe try and get them to waive the £35 fee though.
Plus the cheeky git called me out about switching as the next fastest provider only offer like 67mb in my area and pointed out that im using around 2TB a month
Knocked another £3.50 off for 12 months bringing it to £35.50 per month and said if i call back after 12 months they will apply the same discount and will always get that same price.
So phone & 200mb for £35.50 which i guess is decent.
Explained works out about the same as the new customer deal considering they have to pay a set up fee and something about a double bill for the first month and their price will go up after 12months.

Just signed up for the £25pm M100 internet and phone Black Friday deal, with Topcashback £125 that makes its £17.50 a month for 12 months. Back to £49 after the 12 months though so I'll have to renegotiate!
One question - I was with Virgin a few years back and although speeds and pings were fine for normal browsing, gaming etc, YouTube would buffer all the time and the quality was bad etc, basically made it unwatchable and was the main reason for me swapping to Sky. I believe it was down to VM using their own servers for caching and it not performing properly. Are people still having this issue?
Nice, mine seems crappy in comparison. Will hold out longer next year when it comes to renewing and just demand 30days notice. They are bloody good at arguing to keep you so will be more vigilantThe new customer deal is £30pm and when you add the £35 setup fee is £33p.m.
I cancelled two days ago and retentions just called back. Offered the current deal of Bigger Bundle for £1 less then new customers at £44 (we had that plus Sky Movies for £60). The previous best offer was £69 without Sky Movies.
But when I said we would also be getting Netflix from Sky included for £45 (80Mb fibre, phone, Entertainment, Ultimate on Demand including Netflix) she threw in Amazon Prime for free so that could be useful over the next year so that was what we agreed to.
Bigger Bundle (200Mb, phone, TV) and Amazon Prime for £44. One of the easiest, quickest and more successful negotiations over the last few years.
Would work I guess, I only ask as after googling it seems they will not touch tarmac or block paving anymore due to high complaints.I've seen them dig out the mortar, run a cable through it, and then remortar over.
Are their any installers on the forum?
I have signed up to VM as the street has been recently fitted by them and the speeds are obviously very tempting when you have only ever had ADSL before.
The problem is, my drive and both my neighbors are all block paved, with no fencing separating them.
So I really don't see how they can route the cable from the path, yet they have provided VM access points to each house on the path.
Such as
No wall/turf/grass to the left either, just a single brick high block paver, then the next driveway starts.
Likely to be a "unable to service" when the installer see's it?
