What would you be expecting for £106.72 pcm?

I've been very lapse and let my bills go up and up since my last contract ran out.
Given things are getting tighter and tighter, so i'm needing some advice please before I act.
I'm still using a V6 4K box, I've had no issues with it, so that's not what i'm seeking advice about here.
My last TV package is a now seemingly a legacy one , so still billed as 'Mixtv' (fairly basic).
I'd imagine a free view box would cover most of them. 
Looking at the current packages, it potentially would be 'bigger combo bundle' but not the movies/sport/combined one. 

So here,
- Mix TV.
- Volt M350 Broadband.
- Telephone: +  Telephone Line Rental +  Talk Weekends. Total> £106.72 pcm.

Not that i use a landline and my mobile is totally separate.
I appreciate new customers would be paying a lot less on a contract.
I get the syndrome of new customers are the priority, the longer term get stuck in the rut of not changing/staying put, so here i am. 
So my question is if I was to continue at that price what would you expect?
Or how much should I be paying? They'd want me back on contract, I get that. I try my best to avoid the call centres, so want to be pre-prepared. It's my fault primarily, but need to cut down on some things.


Thank you.

    Mix TV is a legacy bundle no longer sold, but sat as a halfway-house between the Mixit tier (broadly Freeview equivalent) & top-tier Maxit (now superceded by Mega)

    Your pricing does seem a little on the high side, but not excessively so - and probably just symptomatic of your not having renegotiated since a couple of years.

    It's absolutely a wise idea to benchmark your combination of services from alternative providers once every couple of years, when your minimum-term has expired is often a good time. That gives you the basis for a renegotiation with VM with a view to re-contracting if that's your first choice.
