I have only just moved from VM (XL TV+ 2MB BB+ Basic Phone+ additional services+ V+ at a monthly cost of £76) to VM 2MB BB + Sky+.
I have a code for a free SKY+ box (Not Sky+HD) so that saved me £49. VM called me after I requested cancellation. Lady on the line offered me 2MB BB for 1/2 price for 6 months without the phone line = £10/month. After that period, I will try my luck again and hopefully get another good deal.

You can pay Sky £25 if you don't intend to connect your box to a phone line.

I could use a phone line but after my experience with VM, I have been put off having one.

So my old deal with VM was:
XL TV + 2MB BB + Basic Phone + 800 call anywhere+ Addition channel = £76

I now have:
Sky + incl. 3 packs (£18.50) + 2MB BB(£10) =£28.50

If VM don't renew the deal am going for (would have gone for that anyway until I wasn't offered 1/2 price BB):
Sky+ incl. 3 packs(£18.50) + Sky phone line (£10) + O2 BB(£7.50) =£36
+ Installation charge of £25 for Sky phone line

Admittedly, we have different reasons for wanting to leave VM but maybe this will help you. I have yet to pay Sky £25 for not having a phone line but will do so when I get a reminder.
