Sky TV, Virgin price renegotiation
Latest news - Sky have come back offering me 50%. I said, "no, not till you give me it for £20 a month as I was paying before".
My contract was nearly up for Virgin Broadband and I managed to get £8 a month knocked off - bringing it down to £23 - still expensive but I'm on very fast speed and, of course, I get all my music, Blu Rays and PC games for nothing, so can't complain.
Just got rid of milkman - was paying £16 a month for 4 pints a week - felt a bit guilty, but it's far cheaper in the shops, even buying Cravendale milk which is the best, as it's filtered so it tastes better and lasts a week.
Mobile not due till July, and I won't get a decrease as I want the new Samsung Galaxy 6 due to be unveiled on Monday. I pay £39 a month, but have unlimited everything and don't pay for 0845 and similar numbers. I will hopefully sell my S4 to pull a bit back.
So worth it, just to spend 20 mins haggling on the phone.

Agree with you - I got Sky TV half price for a year with free Broadband. Virgin could not match or better the deal!

Costco for my milk... 6x1 ltr go in the food cupboard. Think it costs around £2.50.
Only get through around a pint a week here.
Got rid of Virgin around October time I think, don't miss the TV - 'Freeview' does me fine.

I use about a pint a day. Don't miss Sky at all as I get the football on the links I provided and I get Blu-Ray movies for free.
Any TV series too, so stuff 'em!

I've recently kicked Virgin Media into touch too, knowing that I'd be moving soon. Not bothered about TV or phone, but will definitely be getting broadband back.

Yep. Them and postmen. Oh yeah. And taxi-drivers. They're culpable too. Originally Posted by Arthur Little

Lying in bed hearing the milkfloat and clanging of bottles. I must have been about nine when I last heard that. Originally Posted by Michael Parnham
