Just checked the package bundle on virgin seems as though i'd only save around £1.50 dropping down to L broadband from XL broadband, tv and phone so i'll probably just stick on that rather than go through retentions as i pay a few pounds less than new customers as we were going to quit for sky.
I did exactly the same thing last night - I don't need 60Mbit so I thought I'd investigate downgrading. I have the same as you (XL everything), I think although you save money going down to L Broadband the Triple XL bundle discount reduces/disappears which almost completely cancels out the saving.

Now a question no-one has asked so far is this. When XL30 came out there was a small reduction in the monthly bill if you moved from XL20. Now since XL20 and XL30 will both become XL60 will XL20 customers get this small discount to their bills?
