Because at the moment we are paying £75 for sky+ in 2 rooms, and £28 for BT internet + line rental (we cant get any isp other then BT as its a locked exchange.

Yes sky does have more channels, but when we've looked through the channels on sky and the full package channels on virgin, virgin just seems to have the good channels that sky has and none of the crap that no body even watches. for about half the price.

Then comes the internet.

I'm currently on BT's none infinity "up to 20 mb/s"



This is the speed we get, at all times and it disconnects frequently (no line faults) £28 a month.

I may be missing something here, but after we have moved 2 weeks time, april 20th, well be having the full virgin tv package in 2 rooms, and 50 mb internet that in general is 50 mb for around £75 a month I think it came to in the end which is infinitely cheaper then anything we are paying at the moment for what seems to be a better service.

and I see endless threads on here of people complaining about prices, or being speed limited for downloading illegal content.

seriously? or am I missing somthing.
Having very recently switched my TV service from VM to Sky I don't really understand how you conclude VM's TV service is half the price of Sky's but for your package maybe it is. It is cheaper but to me there's a very obvious reason it's cheaper but no way is the package I had with VM (XL) half the price of an equivalent package with Sky. Maybe yours is though so I don't blame you for swapping, it's a no brainer.

If mine was half the price of Sky's I very much doubt I would have left as i'm not crazy!
