I’m using the break option I’ll have with these price rises to have the OpenReach wiring reconnected for our house and then I have options with FTTP fibre. Might go Sky Stream, might go NOW on a Roku. All considerably cheaper than Virgin.
Never had the need for 1Gb broadband in our house
The problem is, before Volt came along, the Ultimate Oomph bundle wasn't actually that bad of a deal for everything, Ultimate Volt came along and suddenly they are shotting £25 a month on when it used to be included in the bundle.

Makes the so-called saving quite good.

I've a volt package which I will not renew in may next year.

I took it as it suited at the time and I was effectively getting sky sports and movies for free.
I just wanted the RRP as to what it should cost. So it seems they mucked my contract up in my favour because after discount, the Virgin Media side is only £111 instead of £136
