Nice not too bad then, I forgot I got an international TV package also. It was always going to be tricky with the TNT sports increase I guess.

It's not great having to do the end of contract dance but it's one of the "joys" of being with Virgin and necessary due to the often very large discounts built into most people's contracts that magically disappear at the end of the contract.
I'm on that same Volt package with 1Gb BB, Netflix, 2 boxes, SkySports, TNTSport, Cinema, Phone etc and just renegotiated mine for £60 a month and still came away with the sense that I could/should have got it for less!

wowsers, never been able to haggle it down that much. Even when I cancel the contract and wait for retentions they don't budge much.
How did you manage it, any tips appreciated.

The call back from retentions often now give poor deals in my experience. The best deals tend to come from calling a number like 020 374 6951 when you're in your cancellation period. There are other numbers like this mentioned in the thread but they all take you directly through to Final Retentions as I like to call them. I tend not to accept the first thing they offer and threads like this are useful as to knowing which deals previously people have got because they can usually match them.

Also never been close to £60 p/m and that's without any sports or Netflix. I had to beg over a several months period just to have my hub 4 upgraded to hub 5..
