Sorry not sure where to post this. Virgin up next month, we pay a ridiculous amount for a whole lot of stuff we don’t use. Only thing we 100% need is the broadband as we stream Netflix/prime and I bring home work at night on laptop. Told them I wanted to save money, cut right back and was offered a £10 higher tariff. I explained again that we don’t use the mobile, landline, movies, sports etc and want to cut back and cut down costs so came back at £5 less. Back and forth for a bit, looked online at sky/bt great offers whilst waiting and much more reasonable. Very final offer I got was reduction of £40 with massively slower internet, change from top to bottom tier. I said no and cancelled. Then went to process a sky order and they don’t do fast broadband in my area nor do bt. Yes I should have confirmed this before hand, I’m an idiot. Didn’t realise you can’t just get sky anywhere, mad!
Wwyd? Figure my options are:
1- crawl back with tail between my legs and cancel the cancellation which really pisses me off. Not sure if you can actually do this?
2- go ahead cancel then rejoin but would be without for some time, not sure how long, differing views online.
3- go with a different internet eg sky essential and risk the fact that it’s just not going to be good enough for our needs.
I just feel it’s so wasteful to pay for things you don’t use it’s like buying food and binning it. Moneys going to be tight for everyone so it really grates me to pay them for services I don’t need. Any advice appreciated.
