Kerny92 1,246 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Currently with Sky and my prices have gone up after some of my offers have ran out, i can get a better offer with Virgin. Much faster internet, more channels and two boxes that allow me to record several stations at once. The deal is no contest clearly but my question is what is the service like with Virgin? Are the boxes as good as the Sky boxes and such? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 I used to have Virgin when I lived in London. They are the only ones who don't use BT lines so the net is really fast. I was getting over 100mbps 3 years ago. Top notch service I reckon, but quite pricey depending on the package you choose. Brush up on your Hindi if you need to call customer services.

I know all the tips and tricks to get a better deal with Sky but I've already just done another deal with them so if i switch to Virgin i need to pay the cancellation fee.

You can make a request for Virgin, i did and a few months later they came on the street and fitted it. I've been offered every channel, 2 boxes and tinternet for £79. That includes all the Sky Sports channels and BT Sports. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
