He he, I would have forgone those channels as important as they are to get 50mb, XL phone, sports and movies and another V+ at that price.

And no mistake!!

Quite a big difference then, another £29.50.

It was just when you said VM's TV is half the price of Sky's.

As a seasoned VM customer there's no way it's that much cheaper.

But the TV is cheaper though but as I said there's a reason why, nevertheless it's an excellent service overall and you'll love the broadband.

Watch out for the landline though, add £2 for caller ID if you want that and no 0870 calls are included but you can get around that by getting another add on but it adds to the cost.

Actually the TV isn't cheaper if you don't have HD 24.50 XL and 24.50 6 mix , but Sky sports and movies are cheaper on Sky.

I guess you are right, I always take into account HD but of course the poster didn't have it with Sky anyway.

Multiroom is a bit cheaper on VM though, if you have XL anyway.

Multiroom is much better value on VM , Sky need to sort that. It doesn't bother me as I only have one box

Multiroom is much better value on VM if you are on XL with it's inclusive HD channels. You can save quite a few bob.

But non XL customers who want V+ in another room pay £11.50 a month which is more than Sky charge. Both would provide simlar free HD channels but you do get Film4 HD on VM. And of course they have to pay £5 extra for the first V+.
