Total Virgin cost £91.49

So Sky is £12.99/month cheaper, and you get more HD channels.

Can someone please contradict me here, and I am struggling to see how Virgin can claim to be competitive?
Your prices for Virgin are out

TV XL is sold at £23
Minimum broadband sold is £12.50
Sports and Movies is £27.50
HD Bolt on is £7
Line rental is £11.99
=£81.99 (but then that includes ESPN HD which is an extra on Sky)
