I'm moving house in a few months to a VM area and I currently have Sky TV which has 14 months or so remaining on the contract. I'll be using VM for broadband since the FTTC offering is a lowly 30/6 which I'm doing to struggle to work with.
I notice VM do massive discounts for also taking their TV services. My question is: how do they work when I'm part way through a broadband only contract? Are they likely to bolt on TV and put on savings or would I have to wait until the broadband contract is over and then sign up in my mrs name?
Thanks, I think this is what I will do. I currently get BT Sport via PlusNest which will be getting cancelled when I move. It's going to cost quite a bit to add it to Sky, probably more than it will adding it to VM and also getting an entirely new TV service too.You can have TV from VM and other providers at the same time, just take it, it’ll still usually work out cheaper than the solus product. Adding it later doesn’t normally result in anything near the same level of offer/discount or cash back as the budget and discount for a new customer acquisition is large, an upgrade not so much. The exception to this is at renewal where you can get a decent deal, but no Quidco etc.
My broadband is with PlusNet and it's out of contract, but that wasn't part of my question.
Thanks.Buying the phone service from VM just activates the port on the rear of their Hub, it won't affect your internal cabling and unless you give VM your current landline number and ask them to port it, having VM installed won't affect your existing line.
Last week, the best the rep at Virgin could offer me was £40 for M350 or £50 for M500 (no tv or phone)Just been on the phone to Virgin.. They wouldnt budge on £45 for 350, or £47 for 350/phone/tv.. I dont want TV and Phone - only have them because it cheaper (in the past anyway)..
I've got access to FTTP, but rather not swap provider with working from home/home schooling, etc, cant afford it being down. I left it as is for now - might call them back in a week or do to try my luck again..

Have you got a BT ONT in your property?
I know new builds come pre wired for FTTP and Virgin Cable if it's available these days.

That’s a terrible price given that they are currently advertising 350 on their website for £38.99 and 500 for £44.99. Broadband only.
That’s how most companies operate sadly. Until there’s legislation to stop them they’ll continue to do it.Thats for new customers only. Virgin have never had any good offers for existing customers, unless you threaten to leave.. Which is my case didnt seem to make any difference.
