The didn't mention their awful broadband and £10.25 HD charge.

13p for better broadband is somewhat worth it.

yeah i noticed that also they mentioned that you own the box !! but when it goes wrong or breaks down after 12 months they only fix it if you have cover !! or i found in the past they not intrested !! also they dont mention that in bad weather some people find that signal goes down !

Sky also forgot to mention that their average speed on 20Mb is less than 10Mb
Up to 20Mb 7.4 to 9.2Mb

Is it just me or Sky comparing 12 months with them to the cost of 18months with VM?

Comparison between VM 18 month contracts and Sky’s 12 month contract. Excludes set-up costs.

LOL you got to love that if they are saying sky for 12 months is £10 cheaper than VM for 18 months.
Edit: Just seen your edit too.

Sky also miss out the £30 installation fee in the final figure (it's mentioned in the list, but not counted into the total -£19.50+£11.25=£30.75x12= £369).

It does mention it in the small print at the bottom, but still a little sly, imho.

Re: sky vs virgin media
 
Is there a site where you can compare everything from each provider bit by bit?

i.e. The boxes and services all broken down (so it shows what you get, and what's available)
Broadband and speeds etc.

Just wondering :p:
