I am currently looking to switch my phone, BB and TV following the Virgin Media price rise coming next year (extra £4pm).
Therefore, this thread is simply to ask what are the current best new customer joining deals? But more importantly to establish the best tips and tricks to getting the best possible joining offer? Basically looking for info on the best haggling tactics, is it worth pushing for extras like cashback, vouchers, and gifts?
Ideally, I would be looking at a triple play (BB TV Phone) package. However the TV part isn't that important to me and I could easily be persuaded to drop the TV altogether, and just use Freeview if I could save a significant amount by doing so and going with one of the smaller BB&Phone companies like Plusnet?
Any advice appreciated.

The thing is though, with haggling for a better price on the phone, what happens if you strike a deal but when installed the services or price charged isn't what you were promised? You only have the word of the representative don't you? So you could end up in a your word vs theirs kind of dispute or do they send you some kind of written confirmation before installation so you have proof of what you agreed?
As it is your own call that you are recording, I believe that you are under no obligation to inform the recipient that the call is being recorded (but I am not a lawyer). However, you may wish to inform him/her, as it might encourage the recipient not to be "economical with the truth".

Then wait for them to call you back.
I did this last week with VM who I have just broadband with. Best they offered when I called to cancel was £25 going to £29 after 6 months. 18 month contract.
Two days later detentions called. I'm now paying £23 for my broadband for 12 months on a 12 month contract.
I no longer have sky but I did the same last time I renewed with them. In the last year I got 60% discount and £100 credit on my account meaning I paid £6.70 a month for basic tv package with HD.
I did the same for my Aunty. Got her 50% off a new box and £50 credit.
Best thing to do is cancel and wait for them to call you back.
Only wish you could as I’m pretty fed up with pots and pans programs and in house employees so say dancing.>:(
