virgin media

Hi was hoping for some advice , am currently with virgin and pay between £70 - £80 a month . my package is free day and night calls , unlimited broadband XL and L tv package , I would have to keep my phone number though and not sure sky can do this , are there any cheaper packages or if i need to keep my phone number would it still work out cheaper to break the services up but i would like something along the same lines that i have got , many thanks .

    You'll need a BT-based landline installing or reconecting as well, since your VM cable line will become redundant. Have you factored in that cost (the rack rate is £130, although many suppliers will heavily discount that)?
    No reason why they shouldn't be able to port your number over to an LLU service though-have you asked. Did the number originate with VM or BT?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • I have a virgin media phone point but it was originally bt but had that removed.

    You'd still need the BT line re-instating, BT will charge for this as Macman said. It matters little if there was originally a BT point there or not.
