Which Broadband & TV bundle

I am currently with Virgin Media (Big Easy Bundle) paying £45 per month and they have just emailed to say this is increasing by £3 from October (which I don't want to pay) but I am really confused by all the deals on offer.
I have Superfibre 50 and 70 TV channels which gives average download speed of 54 MpBS - I also have a smart TV.
With up to 4+ devices which package would you recommend?

    It's not really possible to advise without knowing a few facts , is FTTC broadband available in your area ?, what TV channels are essential, do you want to keep all services with one provider or are prepared to use multiple providers for TV,phone and broadband.
    TBH , depending on what channels you watch, you say you have 70 channels , 'Freeview' may well provide most of them for 'free' anyway.
    If the speeds are acceptable from Openreach based providers BT/Sky/Talk Talk etc, chances are you can get line and FTTC for £25-£30, and then add on a TV bundle
