I'm currently paying £95.74 for a VIP20 package ( £66.24 for main services £29.50 for Movies 4+5,Sports 1+2).

I've had this package for a while and given the close proximity of various prices these days I am considering a change.

When Virgin briefly stopped broadcasting the Sky Channels I bought a 2 pack package from Sky with a standard box which now costs £20 per month.

Sky are offering a good package of all 6 entertainment packs plus sports and movies for £52 plus I may be able to get a free Sky+ box.

I'd like to drop Talk Mobile,Talk International and the Movie & Sports packages from VIP20 and like to upgrade my Broadband to 50Mb but want to retain everything else.

In this way I hope to improve my Sky and Virgin Services but at a slightly lower cost.

The only problem is that I get a Phone,TV and BB discount and a Set Box discount but don't know if this will apply outside the VIP package and what the new monthly cost will be.

I don't really want to approach customer services yet until I'm clear what the costs would be as though my monthly outgoings may be lower there will probably be some installation charges which I will have to budget for once I know what they are.

Can anybody help please?
