That's a very good deal. When my contract expires with SKY I'm likely to return to Virgin if I can get my first 6 months half price. TV, broadband and phone half price 18 months can't be sniffed at. Then if virgin put prices up again, and SKY offer me a good deal to return then I'll simply cancel my contract with Virgin and go back to SKY.
With BT, SKY and Virgin competing for our custom, and being able to cancel your contract if you don't accept a price increase, people can jump from provider to provider very easily. If people don't mind switching TV provider, and keep your eye on the latest offers, you could easily go 2 years without paying the full price for your package.

I think that many of us are more discerning than this. It's not all about price, it's about what you get as a package. Price is important if two packages are exactly the same or your household budget is particularly tight. However, I would want to see a distinct benefit in terms of what I want before I moved from one provider to another.
If you move back to VM, Chad, make sure that you confirm with Sky that they have received your notice of termination from their contract.
Some people say they are a slippery bunch and cite complaints that termination notifications to them have not been received.
I, of course, couldn't possibly comment...
