Does this only work if you sign up a new service or has anyone had luck having the customer just switching them over from an exisiting plan

If you're looking at price purely, then yah Fido is better.

However I think Virgin they'll actually send a tech to your house too hook-up. Fido is self install, knowing you have an active coaxial cable line available. Then the whole DSL/Fibre vs Cable internet pros and cons.

I'm on my second year with Virgin.
First year was with the half price 100/10 promo, ie $35.-per month.
That expired in December 2020.
I was getting my ducks in a row ready to switch, then called in and they offered the $25.- discount on the 100/10 service for a year so I decided to take that instead of switching.
I have FTTH - service is very good. I had one momentary outage since I started with Virgin - miles better than cable which I had before.
All I can suggest is to start a chat and see what they say.
I think if you have a viable alternative and if you are very polite you have the best chance of getting the promo for a renewal.

It looks like base prices have gone up by $10 in Ontario

50/10 - $70
100/10 - $80

I'm an existing customer, going to see if I can keep my credit or if I'll need to cancel and re-activate

I was told the ($25/month off) credit is good for a year but it says on the site that the service cost might go up. Looks like I'll be paying more with $80-$25 now, if that's how it works.

Maybe this was their hook, to get new subscribers with the deal then raise the price. It's still better than what I had for similar money so I'm not going to jump ship. I can see why people would feel badly about this though and may not be even a "warm" deal as it sits.

If anyone leaves the service, please post where you go or if they offer you a different deal.

Yes - the credit is applied for the year but the base price may vary.
But I would check to make sure the credit is applied every month - for the first year I was with Virgin I had a credit of $35.- off $70.- for 100/10 which worked perfectly all year, then I renewed in Dec. 2020 with a $25.- credit and I had to call in each month so far to get the bill manually adjusted because the system didn't apply the $25.- credit.
There was no hassle doing it but it was 20+ minutes of my time each time.
I finally complained to the Executive Office and hopefully things are fixed for the next billing cycle.

Service btw so far has been flawless - I'm on FTTH and every speed check comes in better than 100/10

What speeds are you currently getting? Also on Bell FTTH and thinking of migrating because of pricing.

I started with Bell FTTH when they had introductory pricing, then switched to Virgin a year and a half ago.
Speed is always very consistent - did a test right now - results below.
I don't think I ever got less than 100 down and 10 up - best is 125 down and 12 up, otherwise consistently between these two numbers.
Had cable before fiber - speed there was all over the map all the time, sometimes down to 2 Mb/s
