First time poster, so hello everybody.
I have been a Virgin Media customer since what seems like the beginning of time. My needs are simple and I have generally found their broadband more than adequate. Until recently, cost hasn't been a major issue, however, I am now retired and on reduced income, not helped by increases all around.
I am currently paying £51 a month for the following -
Mix TV, V6 Box, M200 Fibre Broadband, Telephone Line Rental, Talk Weekends. I only run two devices, a laptop and a smart TV, so probably do not really need the level of fibre broadband they talked me into going with.
Unfortunately, I am in contract and cannot leave without incurring a termination fee at present.
However, as things stand, I am resolved to put in a cancellation when I'm able, and prepared to enter into the game of brinkmanship with them, which I know many of their customers do in the hope of seeing their bills appreciably reduced.
In the past, this is something I have been reluctant to do, but I will be taking this action when the opportunity arises, and if necessary, will take my custom elsewhere.
Any comments/advice will be appreciated. Do you think I'm paying too much?
