to prove Ben's point, a couple of month ago I had XL BB and M phone and I was paying £11 a month for the phone and £37 or whatever it is for the internet. I was checking 50mbit availabilility on the VM website and saw an ad for M phone + XL BB for £26 a month. I gave the dudes a ring to find out what was going and why i had been paying so much all this time and they said that that was an offer for new customers but they could do me XL phone, XL BB and M TV (freeview) for £26. I wasn't too fussed about the TV because we already have Sky but I said sure thing and we had it in the bedroom. So as a "deal clincher" I took the TV from the bundle/cost point of view. Everyone wants internet these days no matter what they say and yes 10mbit is a great speed to have if you only do normal stuff, some may genuinely not use the internet that much to justify the cost so sure, let them have their 2mbit for free like M phone and M TV.

Yup, when i changed my price i changed package which was a new 12 month contract (which they told me about on the phone) and I warned them that as soon as 50mbit was available i want it and they said no problemo, when i upgraded that would setup a new 12 month contract. So yes, if you change your bundle/package, even if it is to get rid of your 10mbit internet and go back down to 2mbit with whatever tv and phone you have, you will be signing up for a new bundle which will be a new 12 month contract. If you don't want a new 12 month contract dont take the 2mbit and just scrap the internet altogether.
