hey there everyone i live in glasgow scotland and have 10mb internet with no phone line with virgin media at 21 a month from last november now last month my bill increased randomly and when i phoned virgin it was due to a national price increase so ok i had phoned within 7 seven days of the change and was able to cancel and was offered a better deal at $20.50 for the exact same service i agreed and happily awaited my new contract from virgin. A week went by and nothing i phoned again and was told it was a technical error i should have it within 3 days ok again i waited 5 days still no contract i phoned again ohhh guess what a technical error and another one was to be with me within 5 days, by this point i'm getting p****d off and again it never came the next phone call i had was with some aragant woman who told me i dont need a contract well i do i have to sign it for the agreement, in turn she told me her manager would personally post it out and that it might have been my postal service. a week goes by Still no contract i phoned to day and i get someone who helped me by telling me that there has never been a contract sent from virgin and that he had all the info from the last calls, this man found the problem to be it had an error thinking it was some other contract or something and he stated he would have to renew the contract i said well is there any way of a free upgrade due to the poor customer support
well i nearly s**t myself when he offered me 60mb for 22.50 for 2 years
hell yeah i said

You should have tried to get the 100mb. That would be crazy fast.

I'm out in the countryside and still running good on 8mb...
