Straw Poll: How much for broadband and landline? ?

With virgin. £27 per month. TV and Internet.
You don’t have to have a landline.
Just a little tip. If you feel that your internet speed is running slower, call them to check it. They slow it down ?.
Amazingly it reverts to speed your paying for.

I pay £19 with JL. Think you might be able to cancel under cooling off period rules???

£26.00 per month for unlimited landline calls and broadband with Virgin Media. I have no t.v. and so didn't need or want that package adding on.

Thank you so much everyone.
I’m definitely tackling it today.
I’ll let you know how I get on.

FannyCornforth remember to select the “thinking of leaving us” option when you phone them. They’re the team with the discounts. Before calling them it would be worthwhile googling for today’s current offers by some of their competitors such as BT and TalkTalk. Then they know you’ve done your research and will hopefully price match. Don’t be put off by the automated message saying high call numbers and suggesting you use their website instead. Good luck!

We have Unlimited Fibre broadband and line rental from Plusnet for £21.95 a month. No TV or calls because we don’t need them.

Yes, thanks Kim, I’ve looked at the details, and yes I can cancel.
It doesn’t even start until 26th January, so I’m not overly worried.

Thanks Gnw, I will do that. I’ll also mention that I’ve mentioned it on ‘social media’ (ie here!)

I’ve been with them for 16 years. It’s disgusting how they try to rip you off isn’t it?

I’m totally ignorant about broadband speed, and I think that it may be important as I’ve got a Sky Glass tv which runs off the internet.

I’ve read somewhere on the virgin website that if I leave them, I won’t be able to use my email address ([email protected])

Does that sound right??

I agree. It’s so annoying to see them offering deals to entice new customers which are half the price they try to charge loyal customers of many years. They tried to increase my package from £40 to £60 this year. So, I felt satisfied to negotiate downwards to £33 which was their new customer price that day.

When I left Talk Talk they said I could keep my email address, when I switched from BT they said I would lose it. I’ve still got both.

Apparently for my TV I need a minimum of 10mbps

Thanks Maggie

I'm with BT

Broadband, Fibre 1
Mobile, 4GB, included a new Iphone 6SE
Landline

£35 a month

DH is in charge of this so I have NO idea what’s going on -except we pay about £99(!) a month to Sky.
It’s a painful subject whenever I raise it-he keeps saying we can’t do any better!
Time to pull up my big girl pants and check it out myself!!

It also depends on your address. A lot of companies advertise offers that I'd love to take up but our estate is not wired up to receive them.

Newquay £99 is exactly what I paid Virgin prior to changing.
It included all my landline calls; broadband; and the best TV package including BT Sport, Sky Cinema and Sky Sports

Ours is £30 per month plus £15 for BT sport for Mr. S.

I can happily get by on the cheapest tv package with Virgin as my daughter has signed my tv into their Netflix and Prime Video accounts. So, I’ve got more than enough to browse. I’m restricted in choice of internet provider in my location but I don’t let Virgin know that when I’m quoting their competitors ?

I have been with BT for about 10yrs now and have landline/TV package/fibre optic broadband for approx £42 per mth.
I cannot get rid of my landline as it is connected to my careline I am due to renew my contract soon and every year I renegotiate with them on the threat of leaving I have always been lucky enough to keep it in the £40ish region.

I'm going in!!!

£48 a month with Talktalk. Just phone and internet so I think I'll be contacting them about deals as it's nearly doubled in less than a year.

Isn’t it a complete hassle, though, to have to change your email address?

This is awful?

On my fifth call now.
Call handlers in India haven’t got a clue, and then say that they will transfer me, and then cut me off.
It’s utterly shite

You’d be mad to sign up with them for anything
