I have Sky + in one room on basic entertainment package and Virgin in another room with a V+ HD box -again basic entertainment pack no premium channels. I have 20mb BB (XL) and tel (M) with virgin. I was paying just under £80pm for this (including line rental ) and tel call charges were usually about £25-£30pm on top of that.
I want to go full HD in both rooms and upgrade to sky sports & movies and decided it would be more cost effective to get everything through 1 provider.
I rang Sky- they offered me a free install for 2 new SKY + HD boxes and then £90pm for full Sky World pack with HD for both boxes(multiroom). I didn't realise that sky also charge for HD per box (£10 per box). It would have been an extra £18.50 for 20mb BB and unlimited calls. A total of £108.50pm.
unfortunately Sky admitted that due to my distance from the nearest telephone exchange the best BB i would be likely to get would be less than 2mb. This is insufficent for me so i rang Virgin.
Virgin have offered me a 2nd V+ HD box with free instalation (normally £100) and VIP20 package XL BB 20mb- XL phone- XL TV pack with Sky Sports and movies in HD on both boxes for £97.44pm. This is £11 cheaper than the equivalent sky package and a vastly superior BB
I am probably going to take virgin up on this as sounds pretty good to me. Hopefuly the XL phone pack will reduce our call charges so for about roughly what i am currently paying to sky and virgin for basic tv I will get upgrade to sports and movies in HD on 2 V+ boxes.
Do people agree it is a decent deal ??
