• also cancelled with Virgin but they didn't really try to offer an argument

    "Oh - why would you like to cancel?"
    "Community Fibre are available now and they're faster and cheaper"
    "Hmm, really? Faster than 1Gig?"
    "Yeah - 1Gig both ways, so faster up, and £25 a month"
    "... ok ..."

  • Just bear in mind it won't really be £25.

    I signed up to Community Fibre at the end of September on what was supposed to be a 24 month contract for 'half price' 1Gb (£50 down to £25). On the 1st April they put my bill up by 13% to £28.25, so I got exactly six months out of 24 at the advertised rate.

    Apparently the £25 is for brand new customers only.

  • the £35 I had with Virgin for their 1Gb is now £42, and will be morelike £60 from next month when I'm out of contract, so it'll still end up cheaper even if it does go up a bit

  • Virgin did some hefty increases with their stuff (think it was a similar percentage increase but applied to the headline price rather than the price you were paying).

    Saying that, when I phoned to complain it ended up with me paying a tenner less than I had been paying.
