End Of Contract !

[mike @ home]

Hi Peeps, Hope I have posted this in the right place.

In April my contract ends, I have TV, BB & home phone.

Now when I phone up to see if I can get a "Deal"

I still want TV & BB BUT I don't need the land line, will VM force me to get the newest tivo box ? at the mo I have the Tivo 6 & I dont want to alter that because if I am right the new box does NOT Record programs, I Do Need one to record stuff to watch later.
I am also over 70 years old can I get a lower price as a OAP ?

Thank You For you Help.

Mike.

You may find it cheaper just to renew your existing contract and keep the phone, even if you never use it. VM are a "bundle" supplier and the more you have the cheaper the cost.
If you drop the phone, that's a new contract, so you may be forced to get the stream box? I also suspect if you do get a new contract and they allow you to keep your V6, it will be migrated to the 360 platform, thus saving VM a Tivo licence.
Just think about what TV you actually watch, can you get it via Freeview? If so there are several Freeview recording boxes available "rent free" so to speak.
As for OAP, there are no discounts other than the Social Tariff if you are on benifits, but I don't think this includes any TV packages, just broadband?

Hi Adduxi, Thanks for your help, I think I will just carry on with the Broadband (1Gig) cancel TV & Phone & get myself a Freeview Recorder That way My bill will go down quiet a bit.
Just Hope all goes OK.

Dont do anything you're within the last 30 days of your contract end. Thats when they panic and offer the best deals. They offer renewal deals on your online account, but you'll get a better one by ringing and saying you're leaving.
