Best to talk about your own experience.

I have had experience of all, and have found Virgin the worst service
Unless you have actually had both services, you can't form a truly informed comparison between the two of them. No offence meant to anyone but it's a fact.

Virgins broadband, when not being shaped, is incredibly fast. SKY's broadband can't compete with the speeds on offer from Virgin. I'm lucky to get a consistent 15.5 Mb connection from SKY, no everyone with SKY broadband is so lucky, which makes the £3.75 I pay each month for broadband fantastic value. For me personally it suits my needs but I know 15.5 Mb isn't enough for some households.

I never really had any major issues with Virgins broadband, and so far the same applies to SKY. I must admit however that the Wifi connection I get from my SKY hub seems stronger than the Wifi connection I got from the Virgin super hub.

I think both companies offer great broadband services, but at opposite ends of the broadband scale. If you live in a bandwidth hungry household go with Virgin.
