    Default Anyone got just basic broadband with VM?

    I was due to move out the end of this month and cancelled my VM package of TV, BB and home phone but now, looks like the move won't happen so I was thinking of phoning them and as I'm out of contract time with them, I was thinking of cancelling the cancel (cut off and collect box was for 4th august so technically I'm still a customer till then) What I'd like for now is just basic broadband for internet with no TV or home phone option, I'd be ok with freeview and mobile so don't really want the others.

    I've looked over their site but it's a little too set in it's 'packages' for existing and new customers. What I'd ideally like is just to cancel the cancellation and strip my package to basic BB under my current out of contract terms only, anyone have just that and how much are you paying? I don't want to sign another 12 months.

    tia.

    Default

    30Mb

    £11.25 a month
    for 3 months
    (that's three months half price)
    then £22.50 a month

    No need for a Virgin Phone line with this option


    Looks like the cheapest option. Maybe retentions can sort you out with something better.

    I am on 20 meg & unlimited downloads with no throttling.
    (well that’s what they said when I decided to stop with them once i threatened them by going to sly). Costs me £15 a month just for BB. No other services. 12 Months contract


    EDIT: just checked my online bill

    Upgrade from L to 60Mb
    Increase your speed to up to 60Mb
    from £5 a month
    Upgrade
    More about 60Mb broadband

    So that’s £20 for 60 meg
