Currently its very tempting just to downgrade the TV package.

We don't watch the movie package and its now tempting to get rid of the sports package as well, and reduce down from XL.
I watch the sports channels for the football(So fed up and disillusioned with the costs of the game and how clubs are now going against the wall, I'm a Portsmouth fan) and the odd rugby match, but with price increases and bitter experience in the past just trying to upgrade our boxes, oh and that while its nice to double the speed of my broadband, but the price rise as well? thanks for letting me have a choice!

I don't even get HD from Virgin, despite theoretical paying for it since its in the package. They missed out on selling me V+ or Tivo because they could not spell out the costs of activation, installation and any package cost increases, everytime this was asked I kept getting different figures.
I may miss out on the F1, but at least that's £40 saved, if a downgrade were to happen. Times are tough, saving money is good and being a loyal customer since the days of Nynex and having a bill near on £90 a month means nothing to Virgin.
