You don't want to know - I'm a staffer so get a great deal.

Re: What are you paying for 1Gig?

Half an hour ago I ordered gig service for £45/m (nothing upfront) for 18m

Interested to see if I could have done better ...

Re: What are you paying for 1Gig?

I pay £23.99 for 15Mbps, which is equivalent to £1600 for 1Gig. So less of your moaning

Re: What are you paying for 1Gig?

Thanks to a hint over on the Discussion forum, and because I am an O2 customer, I called back today and changed the package I ordered yesterday to a VOLT package. This includes a phone line and Weekend calls, as well as the Gig1 broadband service.

But for £38/m (nothing upfront) for 18m!!

Not exactly sure as it's part of a bundle, but paying £90p/m for the Ultimate Volt package which includes it once the volt upgrade taken into account.

£65 to VM and £25 to O2.

That's about what I used to pay for that package. The o2 element was way more than I needed so I contacted them directly via a web chat and got a deal that was adequate for my needs for £10 per month, £15 saving. Result!

Re: What are you paying for 1Gig?

£41 per month including O2 sim, the VM bill is £29.

Reading this thread shows VM is still very much a haggle ISP with such high variance of costs.

Re: What are you paying for 1Gig?

Virgin seem to be good with what they charging am still with BT Broadband for £57.99
For Full Fibre 900 with Halo 3+ Plus 12 months of Xbox game pass but YouFibre is being installed so will definitely switch when it’s available it’s really good to see more options coming online

Re: What are you paying for 1Gig?

£36/m for m500 that becomes gig1 thanks to volt.

I'm stuck with it until may, but don't actually use it anymore. Hoping there is a price rise soon so I can terminate
