Advice needed: Virgin Media Package

Posts: 7 Forumite
I'm planning to call Virgin Media and get the price of my bill down. Right now our bill is around £83 per month (almost £1,000 for the year) which I think is far too high. We have one TiVo box and one Virgin HD+ Box. I'm willing to give up the TiVo for another standard HD box if it helps brings the price down (although I wanted to get Netflix thrown in the package which requires it but may just get a standalone box for that). Below are the packages we're on:
_________________________________
Premiere Collection: £56
- Talk Unlimited
- 1 Added Set Top Box
- Broadband XL (up to 60mb)
- TV Size: XL
- TiVo Monthly fee
Phone Line Rental: £14.99
Premium Add-on: £12.00
- Asian package
TOTAL: £82.99

I'm planning to call the cancellations department to get the price down, so my query is:
- are you on a similar package and is this bill too high?
- what do you think I can request to keep my custom? (we've been customers with them since the CableTel/NTL days).
- Is there any deals I can say that Sky/BT are offering that is cheaper then this?
Thanks for your help!

As advised all over this site, the best deals only come if you are prepared to cancel altogether and actually mean it.0

Take out the Annual Line Rental Saver, that takes the monthly cost down a bit.0
