Alternative to Virgin

Yet another VM price increase, can anyone suggest an alternative to the package I currently have with Virgin

This is my current package:

Phone:

Talk anytime
Line block
Call display
Call baring

TV
xl

BB
152md bb

With the increase £71.00pm

If I have to break the package down, to reduce my monthly amount, so be it, I'll take one item per supplier.

Having been with VM since the old days of C&W, my package has always been what it is above, no films, no sport channels etc., etc., however, 2 price increases within 6 months is just taking the p**** :mad: :mad: :mad:

    More than likely make your bill dearer by using more than one supplier.

    Your best bet is to phone and cancel your current package and then wait for retentions to phone you with an offer.

    No actual alternative to VM .
    Other suppliers with services over BT OR line may be cheaper but slower .

    Not allowed a sky dish :(

    I'd be tempted to go with Sky for a package, if there was an alternative to having a dish :question::question:
