With Sky paying 25.50 a month for broadband and landline free evening and weekend calls. Not a massive speed, but enough for me.

I pay £28 to Virgin for broadband only. No landline.
BT would've charged £27.99 for slower speed so I rang Virgin to leave them and they matched BT.

BT without TV but includes total internet access and all calls plus 700 extra minutes a month £55. Just upgraded. We don’t need the TV package.

Talktalk. I pay £20 a month for only broadband and landline, I don't have a tv. I get the first 60mins of calls free.

Cancel it ASAP and tell them you are looking elsewhere. If they don't offer you a better deal there and then, they will definitely call you back after a few days with an more appropriate offer. You could also mention you have a "friend" who only pays £38 for the same package they are offering you, so why is their offer so much more? At the end of every contract I have with Virgin I phone and "cancel" their services when I get my renewal offer, and they always come back to me with a substantially lower price. I have been with them for over 10 years now

I am so ashamed about this.
They caught me on the hop yesterday (they called me after I’d cancelled the TV)
The chap had a really strong (UK) accent and I honestly couldn’t bask questions because I really was unable to hold a conversation properly.
My new contract (which I can tell you, is certainly not going to happen) won’t start until the end of next month.
Anyway- it’s £60 blushshockblushenvy

I can't get cable, and have a fibre package with BT for about £25. That gives extended 'superfast' broadband (ie there is an extension disk thing that boosts the signal to the rooms at the back of the house), unlimited data and unlimited use of the (rarely used) landline.

I didn't bother with the TV, as we have a Humax box which I don't want to disconnect, and there seems to be no point in having two recorder thingys.

We are with Sky and pay £28.

Charleygirl5 Tue 28-Dec-21 14:23:24

I am with Plusnet and I pay around £37 a month.

I am in the same position as YorkLady with cable, but I cannot change. I don’t have anywhere to put an outside aerial and I don’t even have an overhead telephone line from the pole across the road.

Sashabel Tue 28-Dec-21 14:19:53

I used to have Virgin TV along with the phone and broadband and worried I may miss it when I just went with the two, but with a smart TV with a TV Play button, I can access everything I want. Would definitely not go back to paying for TV now. I suppose people who are interested in stuff like sports channels would need to subscribe to one of the paid for ones, but I never watch sport so it works well for me

I have been thinking about removing the TV from my Virgin package. Presently paying £62 for tv, landline and broadband.
I would move from Virginmedia but we are cable and I have heard it’s a bit of a faff.

Sashabel Tue 28-Dec-21 13:58:30

I'm with Virgin and only have broadband and landline (free calls anytime) and pay £38 per month. I could have got it for £35, but decided to upgrade to 100mb broadband for the extra £3.
What have you been quoted, FannyCornforth?

Bridie22 Tue 28-Dec-21 13:57:38

£19,99. Per month + net

FannyCornforth Tue 28-Dec-21 13:55:38

Hi folks

Would you mind telling me how much you pay for your broadband and landline?

I’ve just removed TV from my Virgin package, and they have given me a stupid price for my reduced package, so I’d really like to know what the norm is.

I’m just putting my shopping away - back soon.

Thank you! smile
