Am I on a good deal across the board with Virgin Media?

I've been looking through some of the other posts to see, but i'm not sure.
As it stands I pay around £67 per month for Telephone plus evening & weekend calls, XL TV, Skysports, Medium B/B and I have V+ which costs me per month. I also have an extra box.
I called VM this morning to discuss having read some of the other threads. Im reasonably happy with what I have, if I can save money then great but ideally I wanted better b/b - I've been with VM for 12 months now and so thought I'd negotiate.
I wanted to know whether or not people felt what I get for what I pay is good?
By way of saving me money they proposed me paying £75 up front, but then not paying the £10 a month V+ fee ever again, all well and good but I dont save any money for 8 months that way. They also proposed removing my second box, again, not a great proposal. When I mentioned upping my b/b I was told it would cost me £7 a month more, which is cheaper that what everyone else would get! All well an good but my bill suggests that I pay £18 a month for b/b, I can see it a lot cheaper and faster elsewhere - but would it cost me more as I have a virgin landline and not BT?
umph!
