    Just gave my notice after over an hour on the phone with inbound retentions telling me they can’t get a deal lower than £85 for;
    M350
    Phone
    Sky Sports + HD

    which I’m currently paying £69 for. Hoping to get a good offer as they’re the only option for a live (non streaming) tv provider.
    That’s £5 lower than they offered my dad this morning, so you’re ahead already 😂 let us know how you get on

    They just phoned and offered me everything I had for £66.12 - honestly felt I could have negotiated them down more, but that's less than I was paying and sorts me for another 18 months so I happily agreed.

    Ridiculous how easy it is really!
    Yeah think £66 was what my dad had been paying before. £65.12 my dad got but he’s 250mb Bb so £1 difference

    You've been paying too much for the last 18 months. Aim for around £40

    Mate just got offered £22 for 250mb and £28 for 350mb.  I’m not sure if that includes phone and weekend calls or not..I suspect it might, even though they never use it

    edit apparently it was £22 for 125mb and £28 for 250mb.. then volt boosted to next speed. Broadband only. That seems expensive to me from outbound

    Had a call from retentions
    Offered 
    250mb
    Weekend calls
    Maxit TV 
    Sky+BT Sport's
    Sky cinema
    Netflix

    £59

    Was happy with that as previously only really used VM for broadband and would use NOW TV Offers for all other channels so saving us a fair bit each month by having it bundled 

    Update*
    Had a call back from retentions after I decided to cancel this offer as it meant we couldn't watch films in another room

    So accepted the Ultimate Volt Bundle for £52 per month
