Am I allowed to do this?

Ok guys, having been offered this:

Quote:

Talk Unlimited (24 hour calling)
Talk International (cheap international calls)
Talk Mobile (Cheap mobile calls)
Line rental
Broadband Size: M (2Mb)
= Â£19.95 a month fixed with no need to keep calling back each month.

By Retentions,

I have to pay:

+Â£11.50 for TV
+Â£8 for Star Plus
= Â£39.45

If I get SKY for tv, then it costs Â£15 a month which includes Star Plus, Star News, Star One & Star Gold [of which the latter 2 are not on the VM platform, but apparently Star One is launching very soon!]

Also the price for Star Plus is going up2 Â£10 a month on VM!

So basically for the tv I shall have to pay effectively Â£21.50 [up from Â£19.50]. So is it possible, that I can go down to the free channels [TV:Size M] package, so paying VM Â£19.95 a month plus call charges?

This way I shall be saving Â£6.50 a month, and getting 3 more channels!

P.S.
Some of u maybe interested in this, with regards to VM v/s Sky channels debate:
One Tv Serial was moved from STAR PLUS TO STAR ONE [its meant to be really good. I dont watch it, but my mum does!]. [Like moving Eastenders from BBC1 to BBC 3-whereby u have to get Freeview to watch it for example!]

U may wonder what this has to do with Sky, but AFAIK, the STAR NETWORK is owned by Rupert Murdoch! If that's true, then Sky is being cheeky!

edit: I am right, see:

I am a little confused as to what exactly you are asking you are allowed to do?

As quoted above! As its meant to be free with the VM telephone package, but since i have a retentions deal on the telephone/broadband, am i allowed to keep the free package?

You can also add additional channels to your Virgin TV package like:

To any package you choose.

So i can go down to the Size M [free package], and get star plus added to that??? That would be ideal if that is true!
