Crikey I'm paying a fortune for my broadband and tv package

Somehow I've managed to get myself tied into a package with virgin where I have the family pack and phone and broadband 20meg but it's costing me 70 quid a month:mad:
I don't particularly want a home phone, but I like my tv package. Would like mobile broadband really but the thought of starting to deal with the problem is bringin me out in a rash. I've got a couple of months left on my extortionate package so before I get sucked in again can anyone point me in the direction of a company that might be appropriate?
Thanks in advance!

If you want mobile Broadband for when out of home then simply PayasYou go, I'm on 3 works everywhere I have needed it to but check coverage in your area.
Your home package is not going to be bettered if you de-bundle, just stick with one provider and play Sky and Virgin of against each over come your end of contract.
To lower your costs by any appreciable amount you need to stop watching so much TV (in either amount or variety) look at the line up on freesat or freeview, does that cover >80%% of you viewing? if so ditch paying for TV.

I've just made the call to cancel our Virgin TV completely. We realised that most of what we watch is on freeview channels - the other was sport, but at over £20 a month I can live without it and Virgin still don't do S4C.
Reduced the bill from £65 to £26 a month and that also upgrades the phone to XL rather than the L we are currently on - free calls all week.
We will have Freesat installed with a HD receiver/recorder which will give us what we want (including S4C) for an outlay of a few hundred quid.0
