Nice Linny..!
Just read this and wish i hadn't:
"If you're on 10Mb broadband you can upgrade for a one-off payment of £30 and you'll get £5 off your bill for 6 months."
So yep, there goes another £30 if we go for the upgrade. I've got the modem thats in the picture i posted [replacement was the same model], I'm using it with a Dynamode BR6004WG-1 which i bought off the price-drop.tv channel. lol It works pretty good, goes through all the rooms just fine, including the attic.
Currently i'm paying £13.50 for 10MB broadband. Since they knock off £5 for 6 months and the price for that is £18.50 a month. This'll mean i'll continue to pay £13.50 for 6 months, and then it'll jump to £18.50 thereafter.
£13.50 + £13.50 + £13.50 = £40.50
Thats like an additional 3 months of payment, they sure know how to make the money of us customers..!
I have the cheek of demanding £30 from them if they want there router back after 6 months... haha, and if they retalliate it will just suffer the same fate as my previous modem.
Update:
If you already have one of these modems from Virgin Media, then the activation fee does not apply. I guess its the only way of getting onto there 30MB service and keeping your existing router. Unless it also acts as a router, but i doubt it does?
Update 2:
Excuse my sudden burst of fury.
But i cant believe what i've just ***** worked out..!
If i take myself for an example.
"Same" price for 6 months
£13.50 x 6 monthly installments = £81!
Standard:
£18.50 x 6 monthly installments = £111
*************************
£81 + £30 connection = £111
What clever b*stards! Either way you pay the same thing!
Then they talk about honesty, what bullsh*tters!!
Why beat around the bush and just say, your going to 30MB broadband for £18.50 a month starting next month? :smiley devil:
