    Do just that - Cancel TV and phone, and retain Broadband at any speed you like. Just make sure you are outwith any minimum terms of service.
  • We got 7 months left on the contract but due to price rise we are able to exercise the right to cancel

    However, you'll then need either an aerial or a sat dish to obtain any non-subscription TV services (Freeview or Freesat respectively).
    AFAIK you won't be able to cancel individual VM services if you want to exercise the price rise cancellation option-I believe it's all or nothing.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Just go for VM broadband only. it will cost you 22.50 a month.
    and if you want TV channals then get a £10 one off charge NOW TV BOX. which makes ur tv smart

    i do the same and saves money

    You won't be able to cancel individual services though, you'll have to cancel everything or wait until your minimum term is up in seven months.
