Moving from Virgin Media

I have been a Virgin Media customer for several years but feel that they are just too expensive.

My current package is around £95 per month! It includes broadband, TV, sky sports and phone etc but I really want to reduce my monthly price.

I live in a listed property which means I cannot get a sky dish. Does anyone have any other ideas on which providers I could switch to?

I am looking for decent broadband, tv including bt sport/espn but not sky sports and minimum phone package.

Thanks

    A sat dish dos not have to be actualy on the property-you can put in the garden at ground level as long as you still have a line of sight to the sat.
    To get any form of ADSL or FTTC broadband you will first need a working BT-based landline.
    Start with a search on samknows.com for your available LLU providers.,

    if you dont want sky sports, why not just cancel it and save abit of money

    you could also switch to the Essential Family bundle, for about £55/month. Or pay the line rental in advance to save even more.

    that'll give you the XL tv and 30mb broadband (which is still faster than most adsl)

    if you're out of contract, you me even be able to negotiate a cheaper price for it
