Virgin Media TV, Phone and Broadband - rip off?

[empire]

£56 a month, we have a TiVo box in the front room and a V+ box in the bedroom (The technician advised we might as well use our old box in the bedroom, he would only replace it with a non recordable box if we wanted a new one) we get XL TV, L Broadband (60mb) and M Telephone. Seems like everyone gets something different.

thats what i pay and get

I have a HD + box

M+TV (plus Sky Sports)
M Phone
L Broadband

total is £66 per month.

Broadband is pretty good, TV is crap, constantly crashing and needs re-booting.

I pay £29.75 to BT for BB (40 meg ) Landline inc. any time calls, free 0800 & 0845 calls but extra for calls to mobiles or premium numbers (such as BHAFC ticket line)

I pay £22.42 for Sky Sports ( all channels including Formula 1 all on HD ) though I have temporarily paid an extra £5.00 per month for ESPN.

So that is just a shade over £52 pm for a decent service ( but I don't do any gaming)

Me and my housemates paid ~£40 a month for Large Broadband, Medium TV and a landline... wasn't too bad but that was between 6 people!! That being said I've heard bad things about Virgin and the BN area....

Virgin in Brighton is great. TV back up has been excellent and everyone says my broadband is the fastest they have ever encountered. Virgin for me.

£104 for XLTV including SKY sports/movies. Broadband 60m, Phone including free calls to any landline 24/7

This + 2 HD boxes in bedrooms and pay £113 pcm

This! They offer me a mobile contract every month.

Their mobile deals are fantastic! If you already have Virgin at home you can get Unlimited calls, texts & internet for £11.50 per month for 1st 6 months then £23 a month thereafter - 18 month contract. Includes some good handsets inc Nokia Lumia which I got & love. I think it's a fantastic deal considering what I was paying before - even when I used Giffgaff !

I pay £35 a month for Medium bundle TV,Phone & Fibre Optic Broadband, I get free landline off peak but I never use it, ever.

Thanks all for you help on this. Just used a few comparisons on here to get my £53 a month deal down to £43 with an ungraded broadband.

I then haggled a bit more to get a Tivo box for half price installation (£25). So all in I'm now paying £48 a month for a far better service than I was getting for £53.

Well worth the haggle.
