Any Virgin users compared existing deal with Big Kahuna?

There is heavy advertising at present for the Virgin Big Kahuna package. We got a flyer in the post which says cost is £59.50 month plus £15.99 line rental.
When you go to their website it claims existing users get first dibs at the new offer. Then when I log into our VM account, it says we are currently paying £76.80 month for 60mb bb/TV XL/L phone. It says our tv deal is optimum deal for Virgin packages unless we pay extra for Sky or BT sport channels. And that to upgrade our bb would cost £9 per month.
Few weeks ago I phoned up to ask about reducing the overall cost and they said I was already on optimum package and best they could offer was an upgrade to a TiVo box for another £2 month.
So seems to mean we would not get any benefit from switching to Big Kahuna. I always thought our deal was quite expensive. Anyone else like to comment?
