Re: Sky's 75% off for 12 months offer would save me

Am paying £110, no sports, tivo +2 HD boxes, BB 50 meg, phone.

So with Sky's offer, it works out like this....(£50 credit to start with +75% off)

£24.12 for everything package....the rest are not subject to offer, so are full price,
£10.25 multiroom
£20.00 Fibre optic BB up to 40MB (£50 install cost)
£14.50 Phone
£68.87 in total.

Yes am using my old sky box's but they work.

So I can save £42 a month

Phoned 150 to see if virgin can come close to that offer.

Not a chance, lady I spoke to even laughed when I said about the 75% offer, its not a new offer. Took me 5 minutes to google to find out its at least 6 mouths old. So why does virgin not have a strategy for this offer? With BT Infinity now in my area I have a choice of fast BB. So I can't even say "no one can match virgins BB speeds, lets stay." Even if I goto BT Infinity at £36.75 I get 50 voucher & 3 months at £20. Yes virgin is £32.40 & yes its an option to keep virgin BB.

So can any one offer me something close to £70 a month to stay with virgin? There's being loyal & then there's being stupid, £42 stupid.

PS
I would have to lose a virgin HD box to match sky's offer but am very close to doing that any way.

No one on virgin forum has answered yet :-)
Its a great deal from Sky but you would have to factor in call costs and the ESPN you get in the XL TV package from Virgin, £10 i think this is on Sky.

Just noticed you say £110 a month WITHOUT Sky Sports and presumably their HD variants?

what on earth?
