Re: Dilemma
Distance from the exchange is key, I've just moved from Vm (30 Meg) to Sky and my broadband speed is just 4 Meg down and 0.5 up as I live quite a way from the exchange, compared to Vm's much higher speed service.

However it's not always about speed and I find the quality (jitter) is a lot better with Sky (for gaming) so I would say it depends also on what you do with your broadband, or more importantly how much bandwidth you consume.

If you are perfectly happy with the services Vm supply (apart from the price), you could have rang Vm retentions to see what they were willing to offer you to keep you with them, or trimmed down your package to suit your budget.

Either way you will probably get a call from Vm sales to temp you to stay, who may be able to match the price Sky have offered.

Just food for thought
