I remember the good old days where you could by a moody Virgin box that opened up all their channels for nothing.
I still owe you a beer for suggesting them, Joe C.

Hi scarper! :)
My bills were £88, around October last year I asked how much just internet was and was quoted £47.20 for the 350MB no TV or phone.
I looked around at deals and most were a bit cheaper but also a bit slower so I just said I'll do that, I don't watch much tv but have Netflix and Amazon Prime.
A week later I got a call saying they had a offer for me for Maxit TV, M350 Fibre Broadband and
Phone: Talk Weekends for £54 for a year!
So I thought I might as well do that!
For SKY I have my mates log in details so watch everything for free, he has my Virgin GO log in details to watch BT Sport, UFC etc

You can share your Netflix account too, 'jam.
I've had it for years but piggy back off my brother in laws account (and he's in the States, so it works internationally).
I've never paid a penny to Netflix or Sky or Virgin.

On a similar note does anyone know if they are installing anything at the moment? Or if any providers are currently?
I know I can ring them up and ask them but I can’t be fucked

If it's Sky, you just need a landline socket, if it's Virgin, they need to run a cable to your house, unless it's already there?

I had a wrestle with Virgin last year, I ended eventually getting 200Mb braodband for £27/month and bought a tvbox for £30, which is excellent, and paid £94/year for an IPTV subscription which is again excellent and rock solid. Just about everything bar the very latest Disney+ etc which is a bit extra. Wish I'd done it years ago.

That’s good to hear cough, there’s nothing already there. Does that mean I can install sky myself or does the engineer have to come round and do it?

Virgin are definitely installing - had a second business line installed yesterday. Admittedly all they had to do was go through the same hole they put in before, but still had to come in to install a second modem - properly social distanced etc.
Was a business line, but was installed by their residential team

Pay £31 to Sky for Broadband and use Freeview for my TV as only watch about 3 channels anyway, kids use their cousins login for Netflix but we have britbox and disney plus. Going to unsubscribe Britbox though. Its good but i am.nit one for watching boxsets.

bruuu, if it's just for internet, you should be able to do it yourself, they will send you a router and a couple of micro filters and that's it, just plug it in and you're good to go

Virgin have been laying cables around my roads for last 4 months.
I might give them a go as BT is pretty unreliable and not particularly fast. £82 quid is a bit steep but I don't need the TV and, believe it or not, I'd quite like to keep my phone number.
My son is a gamer and he'd kill for fiber to the house.
