With Sky you have to pay a extra £15 for BT Sports whilst with Virgin its free on the XL TV pack whilst also Netflix is available to VM subscribers at a price after their 6 months free offer ends.

If I was to switch to sky now from virgin It would cost the same a month and I would have to pay 214 quid up front and have crappy non-fibre broadband.

No disrespect bud but you don't have to pay £15 for bt sports it's a choice personally I wouldnt and regards Netflix whilst it's great to have on TiVo it's available thru smart tv,ps3,Xbox,360 and wii just to name a few.just think apart from TiVo at the minute sky tv service is far better value for money if you get on a half price deal matey ;)

Great deal if you love sport but what about those customers with XL who have no interest whatsoever in BT Sport or sport in general.

I was thinking it was just me!

I've priced up an equivalent package on Sky after receiving a mailing from them on the same day as our virgin price increase letter arrive - good marketing!

Moving to Sky would cost us around £20 per month extra and would result in our broadband speed being reduced by around two thirds! And that with a supposed 25% discount for a year - after that the price differential became even worse.

Good to hear that some people are getting good deals either to stay or move - it seems that our package means that we aren't one of them! Either that or we are already on a good deal.

The TV XL pack apart from the one missing channel SA which will arrive soon enough in the coming weeks combined which a far superior broadband offering and a STB with much superior functionality still make Virgin in my humble opinion the provider to be with and having BT Sports on top is a nice little bonus.
