Virgin is more expensive than Sky on quite a few areas,

Sky Sports £22.50 with VM - £20 with Sky
Sky Movies £19.50 with VM - £16 with Sky
Sky World (Includes Sky Movies and Sky Sports + Broadband and Free evening and weekend calls) £53 per month phone line extra £12.25 with Sky with VM from £87.56 + Plus a phone line at £13.90 a month

Virgin Media need to wake up very quickly they've dug a big hole and now they are struggling to get out of it.

But as you stated, it also includes 50Mb BB, which you will never (at this time) get on Sky....

Well I had a chat with customer relations and I'm wondering if mediaboy can shine any light on this. As we know the price changes and also changes for sky hd from per box to per account on Oct 1st. Could this be the date for launching sky anytime +. Virgin said they can confirm sky movies and sports defo but not able to use sky go

I have seen any dates on when Sky Anytime will launch on Virgin Media. When I get any new news I will post it here.

I am a customer, not an employee.

Neither am I blind to some of the issues that VM have, and I (every couple of years) compare providers to ensure I am getting the best deal for what I want - I assume others do the same.

If you check my posts, I (to the best of my knowledge) rarely attack Sky - I may point out that others are putting forward propositions without supporting evidence, or repeatedly (imho) whinging (which I never understand - if I was that unhappy, I would be out of there...).

I also (but may lapse occasionally) rarely state absolutes - Sky don't do 50Mb BB at this time, but who knows in the future (which is why I put "at this time"); but we are talking about now, aren't we? (as everyone does when they compare the Sky TV offerings versus VM offerings....;)).

The same as I do and all the others should do. But it has been pointed out before that so many people that have services (any elec,gas or tv) have not thought of switching:confused:

Since I joined this forum you have been a beacon of impartiality over all providers:D

I always prefer Virgins offerings to Skys offerings ( but that is for another thread and forum:erm:)
