Has anyone done this yet and what do you think is it a good substitute?

I currently pay around £100 a month for the whole VM TV package with 30MB broadband and I've looked on the VM website and I'm interested in the "essentials" package, basically I want to find the lowest cost of getting broadband with Sky Sports which is mostly the only channels I really watch which I've worked out would be around £65 a month including Sky Sports in HD and that also includes doubling my broadband speed from 30MB to 60MB

My friend has Netflix on his PS3 and he recommends it, so all in all would be around £70 and a saving of £30 a month.

If I rang Virgin Media up would they help me downgrade to this package? I know I'm not going to get the 6 months half price but I'm currently about to move house (maybe I should wait until I move and then do it and I would get half price for 6 months?) but the place I'm moving to has cable so it wouldn't be a problem but ideally I'd like not to go into a new 12 month contract but if I have to it would save me alot of money long term.

Or is there any other way to get Sky Sports and Broadband cheaper?
