Just go ahead and take the plunge and do it.

I cancelled all services two weeks ago after ten years with Telewest and VM despite retentions asking is there 'anything at all' we can do to make you stay...etc etc.
had been through all this before so it was a great relief just to tell them that no, I wanted a service that worked, and that cost didn't really come into it, although it's nice to make a saving as detailed below.

The good thing is that the 30 days notice VM require is adequate to get BT in for your line, Sky in for the telly and Be booked and activated for the now much cheaper BE Pro. It was actually very easy.
The only thing that's taken some time has been going into various online shops and changing my e-mail address to a web based one, seeing as I will lose my blueyonder address. However once done, it's all very smooth.
I am hoping that finally having had enough, I will be able to give up searching through forums for advice and technical tips and/or checking the VM service status page to see what was causing consistently awful browsing speeds and gaming latency and packet loss.
All that and I will still be saving money.
Go for it, it's easy.
