Virgin Media Essentials

Going to move my mum to this tariff. Does anyone use it? Only 3 devices using wifi in the house. A laptop/ one wifi security camera and a mobile phone.
Choosing the Broadband Essentials Plus and have to ask for the Talk More Anytime to be added. Mums currently paying £49.50 a month for broadband and talk, so thinking can get a cheaper price

    How much is it?  Have a look on uswitch to see comparable prices.  Talk to her current provider to see what they can do.  If not happy cancel and switch.  If moving to Virgin have a look at doing it through the cash back sites like Quidco.  I think their basic broadband is £26.50 calls will be little bit more.

    In all probability, a 10-20Mb service will be more than adequate. Shop around, and you will find something a lot cheaper that what your mum is currently paying. if she is on benefits (e.g. pension), she may qualify for a social tariff which could work out even cheaper.
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
