In fact compared to our standard customer prices your mates will save between £11 and £15 a month or £132 and £155 a year on their broadband package (depending on whether the offer is taken in a LLU or non LLU area).

Here’s exactly what your mates could get as part of this fab deal…

And all for just £23.99 a month! But remember, this Mates Rates offer is available until 31 March 2010

sounds good mate, I'm already a customer, do I qualify?

Also, what would the extra cost be to add XL TV package?

Cheers

Ditto.

And have they sorted out the problem with PC Guard yet? ntl's NetGuard was good, but I had to remove PC Guard when it was forced on me because it prevented the computer from working. Also, is PC Guard a modded Kaspersky? Wondering, because I don't remember ever installing Kaspersky and I've got shreds of it all over the place.

It is.

ok sounds a good deal but im all ready with virgin and have 50mb broadband tv xl and phone and im paying 62 quid a month can this be done cheaper as im sure when i phoned up i was offered all this for 50 quid a month, when the bill came through and was at 62 quid i phoned virgin and they deny any converstaion taking place so im a bit miffed

Your company is getting hammered on this forum, if its as good as you say sort the guys problems and there you go perfect adverts are satisfied customers.

Bettarider do you know anything about how the retentions department works im looking to either get a better deal or go elsewhere if i cant get one. Or could the missus sign up as a new customer instead?

Is this going to stay at £33.50, or is it a short term offer that is going to creep up bit by bit as Sky (who I have just binned) have been doing for years?

No idea mate but £33 quid is good. if you dont work for virgin media.

It stays that rate as long as who signs you up is employed by virgin

so either of you looking to leave anytime soon then?
