Can I get a cheaper deal than my current Virgin package?

Options
They want £67.  For that I'll get a continuation of internet TV a SIM and landline phone.   Not bothered about SIM and landline.  Hardly ever use them.   I asked for internet only and they said £57.  Are there any other companies other than Virgin which offer just internet?   Don't massively need the extra channels although they're ok.  Thinking about Netflix too, supposed to be awesome or firestick

    Usual advice is to tell Virgin you are leaving at the end of your contract, give a months notice. Then arrange an alternative, Sky, BT or anyone.  About a week before you leave Virgin will ring you with a decent offer you can accept and cancel the other order without penalty.
    BB, basic TV and phone for about £30 is the going rate.

    You can always subscribe to Netflix directly on a rolling 30 day contract and watch via either a Firestick, or equivalent smart TV stick, or smart TV. 

    If you are in an Openreach FTTC, or FTTP area, or a CityFibre FTTP area, then there are multiple broadband providers offering Internet only packages. They often range from £20-55 a month depending on the speed tier. Contracts vary between provider from 30 day rolling to 12 months, 18 months and 24 months.
