Hi
i am about to enter the last month of my Gigafast Contract.
Virgin are also now in the area offering Gb speeds
There is a fantastic deal on just now with VF that I would like to take up but there is an “early upgrade” charge.
is there not an option of just recontracting given it’s a month to go.
I like the service with VF and don’t want to leave. But I don’t want to miss the deal
thanks

So the issue appears to have been downgrading from the Pro to standard. If I was staying on the same product I can upgrade etc.
I never mentioned downgrade but simply the cost and I assume staff thought I wanted to downgrade.
I have now re contracted with the help of a Customer Service staff member and they managed to waive the early fee as my “pro” product is no longer available

Nice one! Unexpected but we do occasionally find a diamond. I'll bet you saved some pennies on the monthly too.
Enjoy!

Only just found this thread, Glad you got a good deal in the end @Clansman007 .
When I re-contracted in the last month of my FTTC contract, it took 3 calls before I got an agent willing/able to offer me what I wanted, so persistence does pay off.
