Given that Virgin are yet again pushing costs up I have been looking at Web sites of both Sky & Virgin for prices. To get what I want via Sky cost £43.50 or Virgin £58.90 per month. Thats NOT taking any offers into account

Ok it`s not like for like, but it makes Virgins “Its free with us” look somewhat weak as the difference seems to be:-
“free” HD ( don’t want or care about that) & free ESPN ( never watch it) added back into Sky & you get to £66.75.( including Atlantic and other good/rubbish channels)

So the free channel/HD service via Virgin cost£15.40 per month !! ( Sky what I require v Virgin with plus`s I don`t) Not saying if you want them it`s not better value with Virgin but they come at a cost all be it a “hidden” one.

Some how that is not a great surprise everything has a cost attached if "shown" or not .
