Re: Dropping TV package in the next 12 months

i was thinking about dropping mine earlier today...in fact i am gonna call later on tonight.

i'm on the old VIP50 pack but since i took it out the price has increased 3 times i think and with sky increasing their prices in sept...virgin wont be long following suit

if i had my way...

Phone - XL

i would drop the phone completely, the only people call are *******s trying to sell stuff i dont need like loft insulation, guttering, ppi etc even though i am registered with TPS - told them plenty of times i dont need it but they still ring back at a later date

TV - XL

currently have XL with sports / movies, never watched a movie since it was put in 18 months ago and dad watches the sports...but he even said last night that for what he watches its alot of money and not getting any value out of the subscription. i tried cancelling the movies plus a few other bits months ago....but the price went UP!

Broadband - 100mb

Had the "free" (with a price increase few weeks later) upgrade to the 100mb...to be honest, the 50mb was ample for my needs. Now with all the traffic management rubbish...you (i) cant use it to its full potential...well i can but i am normally at 50mb anyway!

So by the looks of it, i am paying for a premium package and not getting any value for money, i will miss the HD channels but i only watch the HD as its there - yeah the picture is clearer but the SD is good enough

edit:

i have never had any "sweetner" deals from retentions....i normally get like it or lump it.

Paying £115per month approx....hmm time for a change me thinks
