Vm v BT v (& Sky)

Am I missing something somewhere, as although it seems BT Vision is targetting VM customers, it is offering a far inferior service?

Now I'm not saying VM are perfect and Jeez the Superhub debacle has been nothing short of scandalous (thank god I kept my old router), but I just don't see why people are saying BT are offering a better service?

For TV content-Sky is obviously king as they are deliberately monopolising their content so other providers either can't/wont justify pay extra for channels (Atlantic/Sports 3 & 4 HD) etc etc.
HD is more with Sky, but at least i'm not having to pay an extra £10 per month for the privelage with Virgin! BT is offering a mega 4 HD channels!!
From what I have seen of BT Vision it is basically freeview with an on demand service and only Sky Sports 1 & 2 and ESPN (obviously get 1,2,3,4 and ESPN with Virgin although not HD 3 & 4.

For internet-I know BT are offering up to 160mb, but I'm sure I can survive with my paltry 60mb line and if you are in a non cabled area and using ADSL in a rural area etc you might have what my brother has-a massive 4mb!!
So horses for courses really.

I hated BT customer service and to be honest Sky wasn't much better (not saying VM are better than Sky either-just stating they are all the same).

So am I missing something as I just don't see the draw to BT Vision.
