Agreed, but it's nowhere as good as £26.50 per month + £68 cashback + £105 giftcard

£71 difference but it’s still a decent deal if you are wanting to move away from VM.
I am glad I moved because Vodafone don’t seem to block any public or private tracker torrent sites I visit.
I also haven’t had my subs blocked yet.

I read on the voda forum, once you fail the credit check then you can't get any services from voda at that address for 3 months atleast.

So even if I tried in the mrs name, it will get declined again anyway.

Hopefully you get a good renewal deal from VM. Good luck

Atm it's showing that I can renew at my current price + rpi+3.9% in April.

Contract doesn't end until Jan, so I think I will put in my 30 days notice anyway and then see what comes up.

That’s what I did but I was leaving anyway but the best I got offered was from retention when they called back.
M250 for £19 a month but they wanted £29 for M500.
If they don’t offer you a better deal or as good as their current offers for new customers when the time comes.
Then you could get the Mrs to sign up for a new account and end yours. Good luck.

My current deal is better than the new customer deals.

£28.28 for 1gig, but that's based on me being a Volt customer, but I am no longer with 02, so in theory the Volt should vanish next month when the contract ends, but when I spoke to them on Whatsapp they said it would stay 1gig (but I don't believe them).

The retention offered me the volt deal and my current deal that ends on the 8th is a volt deal and I haven’t had an O2 contract in nearly 20 years lol
That’s a decent deal.
 
Well yesterday i had Youfibre knock on my door.

The salesman was at one point a Steward at Leeds United i recognised him and we had a quick Leeds chat.

Anyway my Virgin contract is up in April so said id sign up then as i was tried of been held over a barrel by virgin particularly as they were for 20 years the only service i could get.

Well here is the deal i got could of got 900 up and down for £29.99 but went for this.


Remainder of my Virgin contract paid up by them. How smooth that will go remains to be seen.

Price matched my volted 350mb which is £23 my last bill for some reason showed £20.67 so it was matched but gave me a upgrade of 500 up and down.

Install is this Friday.

Happy with this because of the upload.

Only downside is loosing the Virgin email ive had for 20+ years.

Hope this switch goes smoothly, if im not online well ya know why.

Yes mate was all very quick done on the spot by the Youfibre salesman.

Within 5 mins of Youfibre contacting Virgin i had my cancellation and final bill amount in my emails. The early cancelation amount was £75

I thought my installation went well until I had problems my CCTV camera wasn’t working and I thought it was the new router. The camera was powering up, but no comms.
They had surface mounted the box on top of my ethernet cable for my camera
Eventually found this!
I have a claim in.
