Virgin Media Broadband Deals For Existing Customers

The Great Virgin Media Upgrade Conspiracy (Maybe?)

Let's talk Virgin Media. We all love (or tolerate) our internet, right? Especially when it lets us binge-watch cat videos.

But what about those broadband deals? Specifically, the ones for existing customers.

Okay, unpopular opinion time. Does anyone else feel like being a loyal customer is...punished? New customers always seem to get the better deals.

It's like they're saying, "Thanks for sticking with us! Now pay more!" Seriously, what's up with that?

I'm not saying it's a conspiracy. But...is it?

So, you finally decide to upgrade. You're tired of buffering. You want that sweet, sweet gigabit life.

The process? Let's just say it's not always a walk in the park. It's more like a tango with a robot that keeps changing the steps.

First, the endless phone calls. Then, the promises of amazing deals that magically disappear. Ugh!

Here's where it gets interesting. You gotta become a negotiation ninja.

Arm yourself with competitor prices. Know your current contract details. And most importantly, be prepared to walk away (even if you're bluffing!).

Threatening to switch seems to be the only language they truly understand. It's sad, but true.

Ah, the "special offer." That shimmering oasis in the desert of broadband costs.

Is it really special? Or is it just cleverly disguised marketing? The world may never know.

Just remember to read the fine print. Those "amazing" deals often come with hidden catches.

Then there's the equipment. The router, the cables, the little black boxes that power our digital lives.

Sometimes, an upgrade means new equipment. Which is great! Unless it's a complicated setup that requires a PhD in router technology.

And don't even get me started on returning the old equipment. That's a whole other level of bureaucratic fun.

So, is upgrading your Virgin Media broadband as an existing customer worth all the hassle?

Honestly, it depends. Do you really need faster internet? Or are you just succumbing to marketing hype?

Weigh the pros and cons. Consider your budget. And most importantly, be prepared for a battle.

My unpopular opinion? Existing customer deals should be better than new customer deals. Loyalty should be rewarded, not penalized!

Maybe one day, Virgin Media (and other providers) will realize this. Until then, happy negotiating!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch more cat videos. On my slightly-too-slow internet connection.
