I mentioned this thread and and the quoted offer above, and I could hear the resignation in the Reps voice, going 'yes we are aware of Boards' but that an algorithm controls what he can offer. So I'm into cancellation mode now, to see what offers I can get across the platforms

I can only only get up to 100mbs but my neighbor has VF and gets 50-60mbps so I'll be happy with that (what do you all need 240mb for!?). I only ever got 50-60mbs speeds with virgin over wi-fi anyway and it was always fine for streaming. My contract with virgin runs out the week after, so after the VF engineer sets it up I'll give it the week and if the service isn't good enough I'll tell virgin not to cancel but hopefully it won't come to that. Will update next week after a few days of VF service. Delighted to finally move from Virgin I was sick of them and the price increases every year and am happy out to be only paying 25pm for 6 months and 40 for the other 6 months with VF

Bought a Google Nest instead and it has been 100% every minute of every day since, then disabled wifi on their hub. When I phoned last week about the increase I told them they're cheeky raising the price with poor wifi and yer man said I should have logged a call for it to be sorted so I told him what I typed about, he said the cancellation department can waive the call out fee and it was them I should have spoke to previously, like I'm a mind reader!!

Rang them to day to say i wasn’t happy, the usual and see what they could offer. 2 months at 48 4 months at 52 Then the last 6 months it goes to the increased price of 62. Basically a tenner off per month for 6 months. I only have BB with them so haven’t really got loads of power over them and last month I used 700gb so I was never gonna change. My speeds are regularly up around the 200mbps mark on my iOS devices so I’m happy with that. I’ll just have to call gain in 12 months with the usual “I’m leaving crap”
