Interesting bits were bundles with 200 mb, 300 mb or 400 mb (unlimited & capped) broadband and ones containing Netflix. They also asked would I be prepared to pay extra and what I thought as reasonable, expensive but bearable, or just too expensive for Sky Atlantic! (Suggests to me that Virgin are considering the channel but it's not going to be free).

I recently signed up for an extra year, taking the daftly named Big Kahuna Sports Bundle because it would bump up my broadband speed from 60 - 152 mb, give me Sky Sports half price for 3 months and all for less than what I was already paying (bit of a no-brainer).

Yet many of the bundles on the survey were much the same as the bundle I'm on but much more than I pay, I could hardly tick the interested box.

The bottom line seems to be, it's not the bundle but the CS or retentions rep that you speak to that determines what you pay because I pay less now than I did 3 years ago but get a lot more.

Today for me the Big Kahuna Sports Bundle 1TB TiVo with Promotional offers makes my package total £54.37 (excluding telephone line rental) happy days.
So you are paying £70 for

TV XL
Sky Sports
152MBit Broadband
Line Rental?

Great deal must be about £20 off
