    I've got 2mb broadband, XL TV and landline phone for £30. I'm not supposed to have the XL tv at all! I don't know why i've got it but im happy. I'm really annoyed with my broadband speed as i do think they should upgrade me to at least 4mb. has anyone else got my package but with better broadband speed?

    You pay for 2MB broadband but are not happy with it and believe they should upgrade you to 4MB.... why don't you pay for it and get the faster speed?

    Somewhat like buying a Ford Fiesta and expectign them to give you a Focus?

    im not happy with the broadband speed because i know of others who have been upgraded, plus 2mb isn't very fast nowadays, they should upgrade it imo to at least 4mb, that should be the basic speed nowadays.

    Was that not the terms of the 3 for £30 deal that you got XL tv for a year as an upgrade and then it would revert back to the L tv package. That offer was around easter 2007 but they probably haven't reduced your package and continued to charge the same price ( I think it was due to increase after a yr).

    I got the 4 for £40 which is all of the above plus 300 mins and 300 texts with a virgin sim card for the extra £10.

    Anyone confirm for me if the 3 services for £38 includes the line rental at £11
  • No, the site says "when taken with an £11 phone line".

    So its £38+£11=£49 and then goes up to £45+£11 in 6 months= £56
