Virgin Media 500mb to 1gb

completely agree, currently on the 500mb pack, and theres just no need for it at all, we d easily run the house on much slower speeds, you d wanna be a very heavy user, multiple gamers, multiple 4k streamers etc, to truly need the high speeds….

..ah speed upgrades are almost irrelevant at this stage, we simply dont need the speeds that are being offered, maybe when we all move towards 8k devices, will we truly need these speeds, but thats gonna be a while….

If you can swap the account into another name you’d be better off looking for a discounted offer off Virgin. We only pay a little over €50 for 500 Mb, tv and phone, availing of the half price offers each year.

Got 1gb BB for 40e for nine months,and 3 months at 80e,1 year contract with virgin.

Was coming out of previous contract and I said I was switching if I didn't get better deal.Retention team were easy to deal with,u should get same deal as me.

You should be looking for around 45/50 mark for 500Mb - shop around definitely.

Vodafone/pure telecom are other options if you are dead against sky/eir

Last year I was offered 9 months at €35 and 3 at €70 for the 500mb service. Last month I renewed the contract for the year and stayed with 5000mb but got all 12 months at €35

I am with Digiweb and pay €39.95 for 1gb and will for 12 months, then I will threaten to switch and get it at the same price for the next 12 months, and so on and so on, your paying nearly double that for half the speed…. I never understand why people dont shop around

Yes, next time signup under your wife’s name and you can get the new customer offer.
