It also depends how many people are using the same internet connection at the same time. Children etc.:D

Well friends, i have had Sky now for 4 days and I really have to say i'm impressed.

The picture quality seems so much better, which I found surprising. The number of channels is fantastic, and the red button works, but funnily now I have it, I'm not really bothered about it.

The Skyplayer is really good, just the Broadband to go, which is getting installed next Tuesday. I guess it is hen, that the honeymooon ends!!

Really depends , what speed have they estimated for you ? What service did you have with VM ?

I read somewhere you can pay £20.00 now to avoid this , not 100% on that though.

No but your TV sub increases if you don't take a VM landline , however still probably cheaper if you don't need a phone line , I have one so its not a big issue for me.

All I would say if you ever think of changing is look into what you want , remember ESPN is free with XL on VM and you have catchup , Sky has more channels and better HD range but they charge you 10.25 a month for it.

Re: Dilemma
 
yep thats true about what they charge for HD as for ESPN i dont watch it anyway lol

Typical Muppetman having a foot in both camps but in time he will come over from the dark side.

VM also have TiVo. Even with the little bugs and problems that are discussed on here, it is the best set top box I have ever used. I had Sky+HD until December and I preferred that box over the V+, but TiVo blows it away. Will be incredible as it improves and new apps get added etc.
