Re: After 13 years with Virgin
The day I pay more than £100.00 a month for my services is the day I cancel pay TV.

Oooft, thanks for all the replies and advice. I am interested in anyone's view on it, which is why I posted. I have spoken to retentions and their plan was to reduce my services to reduce my monthly bill.
My package:
1 Tivo (which I paid £150 for)
2 V+ boxes
50MB Broadband
Telephone (very bottom package as I don't use the phone)
TV XL
Sky Sports
I don't have Sky Movies. I don't have any Premium HD channels.
Bill comes to £105 per month.

Nor, check out the Premiere Collection ( http://store.virginmedia.com/bundles/premiere.html) as this is £58.90 plus Sky Sports at £22.50 plus second additional V+ at £6.50 (I think) = £87.90.
I would imagine they will let you keep your first additional V+ instead of the V HD box that is included in the Premiere Collection so I reckon you could save around £17 a month keeping everything you currently have whilst getting slightly faster BB (60Mb).
Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Den,
Checkout the new VIP Collection ( http://store.virginmedia.com/bundles/vip.html) for £103.90 which will give you 100Mb BB and Sky Premium HD channels too. Although you'll have to add £11.50 for the extra TiVo you have but that will still only be £115.40 so should save you a couple of quid a month and get you a bit extra!
Good luck!

Re: After 13 years with Virgin
Should be able to Den and as it's an advertised package you should be able to get it through the normal customer services. If that fails, then try retentions although hopefully you won't need to.

Superblade l phoned them up this morning and l asked if l could be switched to the new VIP Collection and after about 10 minutes of waiting for the member to come back from wherever they went they offered me the new VIP package so l am much happier now as l get 100MB broadband plus the Sky HD channels plus a better phone package and thus saving nearly £3 in the process so many thanks for your advice in recommending to me this new package.
