As I said in a previous post some Virgin customers are unable to get Sky.
Subscribers like you wouldn't factor in anyway, because you can't move even if you wanted to.

If Virgin drops ESPN out of the XL package, and doesn’t replace it with BT Sports, sports fans with XL or VIP will be either disappointed or unhappy. If Virgin then aren’t able to agree a new carriage deal for SKY Sports 3 & 4 and SKY Sports 1 & 2 in HD, it’s not unthinkable that sports fans will be livid. The potential for 400,000 to 500,000 angry customers leaving to go to another provider would have a massive impact on Virgins business. It could wipe-out 6 years worth of growth.

I'm not disputing that, but there's no way they're all going to leave in their droves like you're suggesting. Virgin will do their very best to retain those customers, just like it did when Sky one left Virgin.
