Cable Forum - View Single Post - can negotiate the details of my VIP package?

I'm giving Virgin over £100 a month for the VIP package; I have have an old standard STB, the first gen V+ plus box and receive a 20MB broadband connection. I've had the VIP package since it was introduced and I've been with cable for over 13 years.

I want 30MB broadband, the V+ box replacing with a TiVo and a second HD box to replace the old standard Samsung one. I also plan to ask Virgin if they will ditch the phone extras. sky movies and give me Sky Sports HD. I'm not to bothered about savings but I think I pay enough for what I've just suggested.

So, my question is how likely is it that Virgin will negotiate with me? Because if they wont it make more sense for me to leave and join Sky considering the amount I pay - and the fact the house phone is never used, and all I watch is BBC, sky sports and the odd bit of 'Bear' on Discovery.

Many thanks,

Dom
