I'm currently out of contract (for about 6 years) and have been looking at my current package and thinking that I could be getting much better value for money.

Currently I'm on...
XLTV with a single V+HD box (SA)
20meg BB
XL phone
...for this I pay ~£54 per month which includes a ~£24 per month loyalty discount from a dispute years ago. So, without the loyalty discount my costs could be about £78 per month, which seems a bit steep to me.

I'm eyeing up the premier collection which, for what I can see, gets me...
XLTV with 500MB Tivo
extra VHD box (ideal for my lad's room)
60meg BB with SHUB2 (?)
Talk Weekends phone
...for around £63, which seems like much better value to me.

It looks as if hanging on to the discount is actually putting me at a disadvantage. Would you agree?

Would my being out of contract give me any extra bargaining power to drive a better deal? Will they insist on an installation fee?

Any advice is appreciated. Cheers.

EDIT: **Ooops should probably be in 'Billing'. Soz.**
