Is it possible to get tv, phone, broadband bundle for less than £39/mth?

We currently have an all 3 bundle with virgin but I'm trying to cut costs where i can and seeing as we don't make many phone calls/watch much tv. I started looking around at packages from sky/bt etc but seems the £39 is around the going rate for all 3 services.
Is it worth me moving the individual services to different providers or is it not worth the hassle/much of a saving? I guess what i am asking is what do these services cost individually? As we have been with virgin for at least 5yrs i'm unsure.

    If you don't watch TV much then ditch that Virgin service altogether and stick with Freeview, if you've got an aerial connection.
    Just use Virgin for phone and broadband, they do bundles of just those two.

  • Hi this is my first posting ...so be gentle with me.....

    I have my current phone/tv/bb with virgin also. I currently pay £37.99 a month this includes:

    Talk 08 2 (free calls to 0845 and 0870 up to 250 minutes a month)
    Talk Unlimited (free calls up to 60 minutes a time, to UK landlines any time of day 7 days a week)
    TV Large
    Broadband Large - total £36.00
    plus Line rental 12 months for £5.99 a month and minus a loyalty credit £4.00(have been with virgin over 10 years)

    This deal was for 12 months and will be due for renewal in July. I was previously paying £42 per month and just phoned and told them I was going to leave. I guess I will try and do the same in July and see what they offer me.
    Will be interested to know what deals other people have...

    The problem for both of you is that if you are on VM cable the you cannot switch without having a BT-based landline installed or reconnected, which is anything up to £130 depending on provider. The only service you can have on a cable supply is VM.
    Do an exchange search on https://www.samknows.com to see what your LLU options are.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
