I am currently on TV XL with Sky Sports package, B/B M (20Mb), Phone L with V+ box at a a discounted price of £75.75. This will rise to £79.49 in Feb.

This is getting too expensive as I dont watch most of the channels. The only plus is that is includes ESPN.

Spoke to retentions a few days ago and a more appropriate package for me would be the Essential collection: TV M+ with Sky Sports package, 30 Mb Broadband, Phone L. This includes the 500Gb Tivo box and Broadband superhub. For this I will be paying £66.34 with no increase in Feb. A new 12 month contract will apply. My wireless router went down a couple of months ago, so I won't need to buy one of those (unless I experience some of the problems i read about others experiencing with the wireless part).

This represents to me a saving of £13.15 after Feb increases, although I wont have ESPN, which is no great problem. If I do want to watch something on ESPN then it will cost £6 per month extra, still saving me money on those months I wish to receive it.

A big bonus I find with moving to this package though is its flexibility if i wish to remove or reduce one of the services. On my existing package the loyalty discount is applicable as long as do not reduce anything (even removing evening calls). I could try to save a few pounds by knocking something down only to be told that my £19 discount would be invalidated.

So, I have an appointment for my new equipment to be insatalled next week.
