For info ... my package is an old one - 70Mb broadband, freeview tv and call anytime - was costing £56.51pm.
Called VM, said I was reviewing household bills, and was unhappy with my price - found a similar Sky package for £37pm.
Indian lady (Monica) offered me 100Mb broadband for £59.51pm.
I declined, asked what I need to do to leave VM - she put me through to "disconnections".
I explained it all to Irish Jonathan, said the absolute maximum I want to pay is £45pm. He reduced it to £39.51pm on a new 12 month contract.
Total 20 mins on the phone, £204 saved!
Thanks MSE.
