Price Increase Beyond My Means

[MrGiles22]

Received an email the other day about my discount coming to an end soon and revealing the price increase. It was way beyond my current means so I am wondering whether just to cancel TV but keep Virgin Broadband and Landline. I am also wondering if Virgin offer pensioner packages at reasonable cost since I am 77 years old. Anyone know?

Maybe go back to Sky to see what it can do to match your current package https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Managing-Your-Account-Cable/Whopping-Price-Increase-from-Septem...

Vodafone 900 mb for £31 a month

best they could do for 1 gig broadband only was £ 41 a month 

my current package, 125mb broadband, lowest tv package and free weekend calls, upgrading that to 1 gig speed, that would be £48 a month 

i dont need tv, i dont need free weekend calls on my landline, have a sky mobile contract with unlimited minutes ,text messages and 100mb data for £2 a month 

virgin media prices not competitive

Hello after some thought I have decided to stay with Virgin, but will be cancelling Sky Sports, Sky Cinema and TNT Sports and will ask for a smaller TV Pack but keep the Broadband and Landline. After the discount period ends, the monthly fee goes through the roof well beyond my means and I am a State Pensioner. Anyone know what the monthly fee will be or thereabouts? I am hoping to reduce the bill by around £40 a month. I am hoping when I phone the services during the week I can get through easily and get sorted.
