best deals

Hi guys
Currently with Virgin (left sky last year). To stay, have been offered:-
£196 line rental upfront
£28 per month
12 month contract
v6 box basic tv (don't really need tv or line but bundle is cheaper!!!)
£30 credit
£20 installation
100 mbps fibre
12 month price £522

Doesn't seem like the best deal as I was paying £30 all in last year, but sky don't seem to be offering anything competitive and quoted me over £60 pm for basic tv/use old box/less than 50mbps "fibre"/no incentive !!!

Am I out of touch or is that the going rate these days?

    Do you need the 100Mbps fibre internet?

    If not there's offers on the main MoneySavingExpert here:

    Only caveat with these is you need a BT line and the line speed will be slower, up to 38Mb in most cases with 76Mb at extra cost.
