Hi, I contacted retention’s before Xmas as I had lost my job and I got a discount off broadband, I get the tv, phone and broadband, my bill is around £61, made up of the following: tv variety package £26.50, line rental £18.99, sky talk anytime £8.00, voicemail £2.00 and fibre unlimited £6.01. In terms of the tv package we don’t have sport or movies, we just get a selection of kids channels for our 2 young children. Am I being ripped off or is this about right? We are still struggling financially and am now receiving help from StepChange.

If you are out of minimum term, can you not cancel the TV which will save you £26.50 immediately, especially if it's just for some kids channels?
However, if you are still in your minimum term they may not let you cancel anyway, or even re-negotiate.0 -
