£69 per month with MiXit TV and weekend landline calls inclusive.
Was paying £66 for 200 meg and the same TV and landline.
Decided as I was out of contract it was time to broker me some dealings.
You have to be savvy with VM and try mixing different packages etc. Eg, my deal wasn't letting me do it without the phone, with the nearest deal being £85 for 500 meg and large package TV with a bumf load of shite I'd never watch, plus I don't believe in paying stupid money to subsidize stupid money for footballers' wages.
Anyway, when you have a look on their site do it either via VPN or your mobile (mobile data if with VM not via your home WiFi) or they will know you're already with them, you're looking to see what new customer prices are as a bargaining chip.
So you phone them up, go direct to cancellations and tell you're out of contract, new customers get this and that, you've been loyal, etc and you want the same or you're leaving. Tell them your relative works for Sky and can get you the top package there for like £20 a month under Sky's employee scheme called 'friends and family' so it doesn't look like an empty threat. Be nice, be patient. they will hum and haw and say they're phoning this department and say that package isn't coming up for them etc. it's all part of the game. they will use a classic tactic on you known as 'Dead Air' where the human pysche wants to fill in gaps in a conversation, when you start talking when they're silent , they are in control. So just be quite and wait for them to reinitiate.
It's that simple, just stick with it, keep saying you feel it's unfair.
You can also quote the deal someone else got. If you want Falcs when the time comes you can PM me and I'll give you my full name and postcode, my favourite food and sexual position.
