That's not always the case if you take advantage of the various offers around now they are all competing and you don't mind switching around. I had a VM bundle (TV, BB and phone) for about 9 years but then got fed up of the price rises and cancelled TV last year.
Moved to Sky for TV and kept BB and phone with VM and got more for less. Since went up after initial 12 month Sky deal ended but then negotiated 50% off for a further 12 months. For my needs, the separates are much cheaper than VM can offer me as a bundle.
Due to get BT fibre in my area in next couple of months so probably gonna dump VM altogether and get fibre from either BT or Sky once available.
Due to the competition, it's currently a great time to get deals if you shop around and you don't always have to bundle services from one provider either.
