    I tried over the weekend but was told that the deal I received in June was still the best I could expect and that the £4.50 was for customers taking on an extra service. I already have tv, internet and phone. Very good offer for those it applies to!

    what deal do you have?
  • Ive now managed to get the price down to £50.70 for the following which I was previously paying around £77.

    XL phone (incl talk unlimited /caller id)
    L bb
    XL tv
    additional set top box

    I can add v+ box one off payment £150, rental for 2nd stb is then 4.50 month cheaper bringing the total to £46.20 a month. Seems very good to me.
  • What's the best number to call to get through to retentions now? The old 0800 number i used to use doesn't work anymore... :(
  • just got the following

    xl tv
    l bb
    m phone

    £37/month

    Interesting to know - my deal was an ongoing one to save phoning every 3 months to renew.
    I was offered XL BB,Tel & TV for £50 per month if that helps you get a good deal?
