My experience of virgin was a router that spiked pings, constant price rises out of contract, and a cancellation line that said “if you’re unhappy with your current price rise, press 1 to reduce it by £2.50 for 6 months”.
Just stupid.
So now I have a grown up ISP, that doesn’t raise the price in contract, and so far hasn’t changed it out of contract either.
I think it was more that after finding an ISP that generally didn’t, I wondered why I ever used an ISP that did.
Hell, when I first signed up, they had a “fixed price for life” deal on!
Sure, I probably pay a little more than if I re-negotiated and switched providers every 18 months, to get the new customer deals.
But I’m too old for that shit, I just want reliable internet that I don’t need to think about past the ONT.
Virgin Media’s not gonna be happy about that, fuck em tho.
Virgin is the fucking worst. Throttles upload, blocks sites, isn’t even cheap
Edit: basing this all of my friends’ wi-fi’s because I would fucking never pay for Virgin

That doesn’t seem unusual, plusnet tripled my Mum’s broadband price when her contract expired, assholes.
