    Then you are paying a lot. I have XL TV,2 HD V+ Boxes, M BB, phone line/rental and free uk calls anytime for £49. You need to do some negotiating.

    I would suggest you should too if you are out of contract. I got the following (I have posted this on another couple of threads):-

    XL TV
    2 x V+ boxes
    XL Telephone
    L Broadband

    £37.19 per month fixed for 18 months. I also got a £30 credit for month 1 and a new Home Hub.

    Mmm we are paying £62 made up of phone line rental (£14); XL broadband (£24) and XL tv (£24).

    Our tv package includes all the main cable channels but no special sports ones. We have a cable modem. Obviously for new customers VM have some startling deals, but we have been with them since we were BlueYonder and Telewest before that. Their website only says to phone them if you want to renegotiate. I have previously phoned with support queries - got an overseas call centre - hopeless, quite hopeless.

    I have been trying to find out what existing customers on similar bandwidths to us are paying, to start new negotiations. Anyone got any suggestions?

    hansi - You will see on the other thread (Internet Access) that it appears you now have to cancel and wait for a call from retentions rather than just phoning up to discuss as their tactics have changed.

    Good luck
