Likely to get a better deal with Virgin broadband?

Currently pay £15.25 for 50 mb broadband only. I have no telephone nor do I need one.

Just curious to see if anyone else is on a better deal than this? This was arranged last year when I was leaving, and they offered it for 24 months but I went into a new 12 month contract. Out the contract now but lose the discount in 4 months.

Checked with sky and best speed i would get is 40 mb

Thanks

    Your on a very good deal. That is half price.

    With other providers your would have to pay line rental.

    I pay 25 pounds for up to 150mbps....currently get a 10 pounds per month discount which expires in September.

    Tried to get them to extend my discount but they are just not interested in doing do, and to be honest I don't really wanna pay another tenner a month.

    Options ?

    1) Drop down in package to 50Mb.
    They even do a 50Gb download limit per month now. £14 + LR

    2) Tell them you are leaving in Sept due to price and see what happens.

    Ok, I put in for cancellation and got a call from somebody and I stated that I didn't wanna pay a extra tenner a month and was switching to Sky broadband as I could get that at a discount ( not looked really )

    At the end of the call, I still got my tenner discount for another year....had to agree another 12 month min contract
