    In March I was looking at the BB/Phone/Mobile deal, at that time they were throwing in a basic Freeview box because of the Phone option.

    If that's still the case, could you not have just BB + Phone for £20.

    Hope this helps.
    Move along, nothing to see.

    Dont forget if you go anywhere else you'll have to pay £11 line rental to BT . Why not phone up Virgin Media retentions and so if they'll do you a deal .

    Again why not phone up retentions and see what they offer you . $ky DEFINTELY wont be cheaper then .

    I rang virgin earlier this month and downgraded to the 2 for £20. Broadband and phone (ditched TV). You get the small TV package free in any case as long as you have the phone so I still have the TV just with reduced channels.

    I've not missed the extra TV channels at all and there's so many other things to do at this time of year. I could always upgrade again in the winter if I get bored.

    BTW they were desperate to do a 'deal' but I was not interested as things stood I was already only paying them £10 p/m for the full TV package but I did not even feel it was worth that - TV is just so poor these days, all boring reality shows, american imports etc.
