Blackie, quit posting about the £11 linerental which goes to BT and not Sky, as i said before if you already have a BT line there is no need to pay the extra £11.

Yes you are correct with your percentages, they are not disputed.
However, i think you should quit with the linerental. What Blackie and I are saying is that just because you already have line rental, doesn't mean you don't calculate it into the comparisons. End of. Just because you already have it doesn't mean you can look at a Sky package in isolation from it when comparing to Virgin packages. Thats all thats being said.

currently i have broadband and 2 phone lines which totals probably 65-70 a month including calls, now discount the 1 phone line which i dont use now and call it 50-55 quid a month for arguements sake. tv comes via sky with all the packages, so if i was go to to sky broadband and BT for telephone, then its 10 for the broadband and 11 for line rental and 5 for unlimted evening and weekend calls 26 quid which is just over half of what im paying ntl
how much is it for all the channels on sky and how much is it for them on VM ?

Not a non issue. For the 50% of the Country without cable of course Sky is the best option. I'm not going to sit here and lie. For the 50% that do, Sky doesn't have all the best packages. They are competetive in areas where they have their own equipment in the exchanges, but less so where they rely on reselling.
Both Sky and NTLs packages can't be completely compared as they differ slightly. Like Shaun said the top packages come out at £80.50, in reality that customer would then take the VIP pack and get more included for almost the same price and suddenly making it more competetive.
Thats why i say apples with pears.
