BT Infinity with free BT Sport is £23 , Sky Entertainment Extra + is £32 and BT Line rental can be had for £11.75 totalling £66.75

Sky BB unlimited is £7.50 , Sky Entertainment Extra + £32 plus line rental of £14.50 , BT Sport £15 totalling £69.

Its also worth noting for those taking Sky Sports that VM charges £25.75 were Sky charge £22 , the premium HD charge on VM is £7 compared to £5.25 on Sky and Sky includes all Sports channels in HD. Sky's prices above are the increased ones from September 13 so VM could potentially increase the Sky Sports sub costs.

As always said it depends on your requirements as too which is the best for you.
Does VM users get sky sports 3 and 4?

Better STB, better bb, no dealings with BT, free repairs, better customer service, more reliable picture quality, more channels on TV Anywhere, one bill each month. I could go on but I will stop there.

I guess Sky have a channel I don't really care about or want and HD variants I can continue to live without though. You will also get lots of attention from BT too:)

Better broadband? No. I have had Virgin, sky and BT.

For gaming, Virgin places last. (sky 2nd, BT 1st)

Never ever paid for a repair with Sky.

I have a 2tb box, works fantastic..can't fill it (and not sure i would want to)

Hard to argue with TV anywhere, as the other two don't have that. So seems stupid for you to say. But we do have Sky Go. We do have On demand.

Picture quality is fantastic on all the HD channels.

So please do go on..as you are scoring nil so far :D

Better STB - Only in some ways, Sky STB is better in other ways. Sky are improves improving there STB and surely will get better over time ;)
Better BB - Agree
No Dealings with BT - Doesnt bother me who i deal with
Free repairs - I agree
Better Customer Service - Disagree. Sky are now setting up a new Customer Service program and it is alot better, trust me ;) watch this space
TV Anywhere channels - I agree but at least we have Sports and Movies on the go via mobile and tablets unlike TV Anywhere
More Reliable PQ - Disagree as Sky is great and only small issues with weather, massive issues = installation fault
One Bill each month - Agian doesnt bother me

I think you should have carried on... I was kind of enjoying it. Now, on the other hand, If I were a Sky customer... I'm not sure that would be the case... :D
