Just got a deal for my sister from retentions (Although same price as originally offered, but free speed increase to next tier up).

M250 Broadband Only - £17 per month.

18 month contract.

Was that £17 for 125mb boosted to 250 for volt or £17 for 250mb which then gets boosted to 350mb?

It was just standard M250 for £17.  Don't have Volt, but if we take out an O2 card at some point it will increase to M350.

Thanks, my brother in law coming up for renewal soon. Will aim to get near that.

edit prices quoted today were £16 for 125mb, £26 for 250mb.  That’s without volt boost.

 Very happy with the above especially as I cancelled FOC mid contract due to moving me to VOIP. 

Does anyone have any tips on how to get something like this if on an entirely different package initially?

I have Volt 500mb BB, anytime telephone with 1000 International mins (multitalk 1000) for £44pm.

I'm dropping to basic weekend phone and increasing to Volt 1GB broadband, but the cheapest I've been offered is £43pm.

They said adding TV to make it into the above package was more expensive...

Have you put notice in to cancel? I got this after I cancelled via outbound retentions.

Here's ours 👍

No idea how you both achieved that. Literally just got my outbound call and the best they could offer was 1gb Volt BB with weekend phone for £42pm. I explained studentsavers's deal and of course she said not possible. Genuinely would love tips for the future, if anyone has any

Looks like I'll be disconnecting from VM for the first time in two decades. Vodafone BB are doing 910mb BB for £21.21 after cashback and existing discounts.

You have to cancel and play the waiting game.
I've found they only offer the best deals when your cancellation is in place

Hi all,

I wondered if anyone had received a good deal on the below or has an idea what to expect price wise:

M250 broadband
Max it TV+V6 box
Sky Cinema Collection
Talk weekends

I'm paying £69 a month and have been offered £66 so wanted to see if anyone had the same package and how much it might go down to?
£66 is good but it'll go up in April.

350mb 
talk weekends
the basic tv package (Mixit I think)

anyone recently negotiated similar with outbound retentions after putting in cancellation? Currently £28pm but discounts ending shortly.

You should be aiming for £45 a month
