Here, TV is the king (XL-160 channels) and there is no way I can downgrade with three teenage children glued to Disney-channel, discovery channels and other XL offerings (and self and football-crazy son to ESPN!). Our minimum broadband M (10meg) and phone M are all we need, so there are no savings to be made by trying to downgrade the regular Virgin stuff.
Then, as we want Sky Sports and having to pay £22 instead of £12 hurts.

I doubt VM will reduce the Sky Sports sub any time soon. BT took a gamble and their take up for the offer is poor.
VM can't afford to offer anything else at a loss. They already make very little from Sky Sports subs.
