Whilst I have had no problems myself , I know of plenty of people who do have terrible problems with VM BB including four members of my family . As for the superhub I will say no more.

There are many many people with the Superhub who have absolutely no problems at all so again its a vastly overexaggerated amount of people who are supposed to be unhappy again.

Well because you are the renowned expert on Skys services perhaps you can kindly ask them how happy they are with their services.:)

So am I to take t you are a renowned expert on VM services as you seem to know how many are happy with the services, even how many are happy with their Superhub.

You serve you master most faithfully and obediently I hope he teaches you how to take the dark arts to the next level.

So we agree Sky is by far the best for TV and BT is by far the best for broadband. VM are stuck in the old boys club wondring which way is up right now.

Yes, and let's hope Virgin can come up with a clever and compelling strategy to avoid being squeezed by two cashed up companies with significant strengths in TV, phone and broadband world!

I agree VM are in danger of being squeezed by two cash rich companies, I also hope VM are able to come up with new ideas.

I think this really depends on what "best" means for you. TV? Personally I'd rather have TiVo and fewer channels-I've been a Sky customer and honestly don't miss the ludicrous number of rubbish channels available, I like the better on demand stuff, and love TiVo suggestions. Of course, if you like hundreds of channels then Sky is best, but not everybody does else there'd be no point in freeview. Broadband? Infinity isn't available in my area, and won't be anytime soon. With an adsl speed of about 2 mb this really is a no brainer. Even without free Premier League football cable will probably remain "best" for me for both TV and broadband for some time to come-I just don't think it's as simple as saying one company is best for one, another company is best for another etc.

I agree with you saying it depends on your circumstances.

But Sky TV is not about 100's of channels..i suspect no one chooses it for that reason

I choose it because i get all the Sky sports channels and in HD.

Sky Atlantic

Horses for courses. One man's meat is another man's ...let's not go there :D

I had virgin...was content to pay for 50 (and had lower bundles) if it allowed me to game

Virgin was crap for gaming...and that is only point i would need the speed

I get a better gaming experience on SKY, and not paying a price for it

I will try infinity, when it comes...but as stated before. If a company meets my needs I use them...I'm not a slave to any company...and I'm not bothered whether it is Pepsi or Coke..as i drink neither :D

Why do you assume people choose Sky because it has more channels ?

Don't Sky and BT Vision both offer OD content , I will concede for you cable OD is probably a better option with poor ADSL speeds and no fibre however I have no issues whatsoever with Anytime+ my only complaint would be it needs a terrestrial catchup service which is being planned.

Again personal preference , my parents have the function turned off as they found it recorded shows they would never have an interest in despite using the thumbs up/down function.

What about mobile apps , content on the go , greater HD offering , cheaper landline/calls , it's really not all about quantity of channels.

Agreed , my parents choose cable for that exact reason.
