Hi There,
I have just received the usual letter from Virgin Media saying they are putting my bill up by another £3.50/month on my £40/month BB only Vivid 100 (100mb D/6mb Up), now usually they only up my bill by £1-2 but this is a bit much.
Coincidentally, BT Openreach have just finished the rollout of their Fibre First Towns/Cities which now covers me, i am now wondering if it would be time for me to switch?
I have been looking at the providers offering the new 160/30 and 330/50 services but according to the Openreach site: BT Openreach Fibre-First Providers there are only a small amount of providers with more jumping on the wagon as it rolls down from Openreach but the issue i have is most of the providers listed or that i have found seem to be not that competitive compared to what i am currently paying Virgin Media for my service.
My current service is VM Vivid 100 (108 Down/6Mb Up) which i am currently paying £40.00/Month (From Sept 4th £43.50). This is just for BROADBAND ONLY.
The only providers i have found to be fairly reasonable with their price for the 160/30 FTTP/H package is BT (when you work out what we pay for line rental and package and then add internet on it works out the internet for us is only costing us £30 for 160/30) and TalkTalk do the 160/30 for a MIND BOGGLING £28 INCLUDING Line Rental but they market it as the Faster 150 service but when you read their URL at the top of the page it says /gfast in the URL which is not in my location as we now have FTTP/H anyway.
I have been looking at other providers who are offering 160/30 service too such as Zen, iDnet, Spectrum, Aquiss and others as well but their prices unfortunately don't really seem to beat Virgin Media's much to my disappointment as Virgin Media's routing is getting worse and they put the prices up at least 2-3 times a year now on average.
Any suggestions?? I just want either BB only FTTP/H line for less than £40 a month (connection fee no more than £60) or BB + Line Rental less than £40-45 a month (connection fee no more than £60), don't really want any TV services as we have Sky already and no i don't want to go with Sky's service.
Thanks for the help and advice
