Hi fellas, considering you're all what i'd like to call "friends" i'm extending this lovely offer to you. I have no friends in real life so I will make out you are all my friends 
The offer's open to anyone currently living in a Virgin Media serviceable area, whether new or existing customers. If you are an existing customer though there are a few eligibility criteria you need to meet. Here's the science bit.
Who gets it?
- New customers, and existing customers adding an RGU (An RGU is a revenue generating unit, such as Broadband, Phone or TV. It doesn't include TiVo or adding a mobile)
- Existing customers cannot have left Virgin Media or removed an RGU within 180 days of us receiving their application
- Under no circumstances should you disconnect one or more of your services in order to sign up for Mates Rates. If they receive a referral and find that you have disconnected one or more of your services, the referral will not be processed and you will not receive a discount
- If you have already signed up for all three Virgin Media cable services and are awaiting installation, you may not cancel the installation and sign up again in order to receive Mates Rates. If they find that this has happened then the referral will not be processed and you will not receive a discount
- Only new customers will receive a free install. Existing customers adding an RGU will be charged an install fee of £49.95
- Customers adding broadband will receive a free SuperHub
Still think you qualify?
The offer itself hasn't changed; you still get 3 of our very best cable services for nearly half price, including our fantastic TiVo service!
What do you get?
Virgin TV
TiVo 500Gb box
175 digital TV channels including Music Video on Demand
Plus, an additional set top box for another room
Virgin Broadband
Up to 30Mb fibre optic broadband
Free VM SuperHub Backup and store precious files. Print 50 free photos a month.
Virgin Phone
Completely unlimited calls to UK landlines, 24/7.
Plus, Talk International £2.00 and Talk Mobile £2.00 included for free.
All for just £43.01 a month (usually £76.96) when taken with e-billing on a Direct Debit. This price includes the £5.00 TiVo monthly charge. If you want one of our even bigger bundles, such as VIP which includes Sky Sports and Movies, you can take it out at full price and get the equivalent £33.95 discount instead! (VIP bundle usual cost £101.46, cost with Mates Rates £67.51).
If anyone's interested let me know, and any questions feel free to ask in here as my replies might answer other peoples' questions at the same time.
And remember...
I have the final say in this, so if I think you're a knob jockey you ain't getting shit

Thanks for posting this up Chris. So that you don't get newbies signing up and sending you PMs about this, I'd say it's probably a good idea if we limit it to members who have been around for at least a month and have a reasonable number of posts, what do you think? Obviously there will be exceptions for people who we may already know from other clubs who have signed up
I mentioned this in PM, but are people eligible for this scheme if they are changing their package by upgrading a service?
Currently our services are in my mum's name, what if we were to cancel and then take out a new contract in my name (different surnames)?
Thanks again Chris.

Unfortunately upgrades don't count as adding a service, so if you have all three you're out in afraid. If however you were to loave virgin and your partner were to take up the offer, well there's a grey area...

Can you explain why the VM Superhub is a steaming pile of dogshit and how it can be described as an 'upgrade' is absolute bollocks?! Even a rep from VM said on the phone that they admitted it wasn't all that!
Piece of shit. Had to hook it up to a seperate wireless router and run it in modem mode in order for it to actually work without shitting its' pants.
Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.

This is what I'm doing. Running it through my time capsule. As a router, it would max out at about 70 on wireless. Getting almost 100 through time capsule. But it still sometimes has a hissy fit.

Because Virgin like to rush products out claiming they are "futureproof" when in fact yes, they are a steaming pile of dogshit. I still use my D-link 615 instead of the superhub but then i'm only on 30Mb. Virgin even recommends that you are hardwired for packages over 50Mb as opposed to wireless, an indirect concession that the superhubs aren't all that. As a modem they are capable up to 200Mb but they are crap wirelessly.
Should never have taken the Netgear contract imo but what do I know? I'm just a technician that gets called out to peoples houses when they can't get their Superhubs working, usually because they've died a horrible death...
