if you are out of your commited contract, just call up the retentions team and renegotiate your contract.  You won't get the same price as a new customer - that's just how these types of deal work - but you'll get a lot closer than you are currently.  VM want you in another 18 month lock-in, and they will be prepared to discount their services to lock you in again.

Everyone gets a cheap deal to start with. You will have got one yourself. It's the way utilities work.

Phone up and talk them down, or leave.  Your choice.

My name is NOT Alessandro. That's just a tag Virginmedia sticks on some contributors. Please ignore it.

Its what you signed up to and agreed to 18 (or 12 months ago) - read the plan details and the T&C's. They will reduce it if you call in.

give 30 days notice and wait for outbound to ring you - not guaranteed but they usually do see what they offer - usually better than normal retentions - its a one off offer - take it or leave it - it will be noted on your account but normal retentions will not be able to offer it if you say you want to think about it
