    So just logged into o my virgin account and the offer prices have dropped significantly.

    Renew now

    £18.47 a month

    Choose this deal and keep your current Virgin Media plan (350mb) without losing anything.

    Increasing to:

    £22.47 from your April 2027 bill

    £26.47 from your April 2028 bill

    And the second offer is:

    Renew and switch to M125 M250 Volt speed boost

    £13.15 a month

    Take your broadband speed and cost down a notch, with no other changes to your package


    View details

    Increasing to:

    £17.15 from your April 2027 bill

    £21.15 from your April 2028 bill

    Is it worth monitoring the virgin account more because if they drop the prices even more and hopefully with higher speeds it may tempt me to cancel the Grain offer.

    Are those prices inclusive of the "free" £6-worth of Netflix?

    Have you got O2 mobile ie can you get the Volt boost?

    If so, that £13/mth for 250Mbps is daft-cheap, even on an increasing 24 mth contract.

    Yep it's with volt.

    I will give a few more days and hopefully if it goes down to a tenner or less I might accept even with alot less speed compared to grain fibre the money saving will be significant.

    Netflix not included
