Well when I joined SKY there was 5 main reasons:
1. Much more HD than Virgin
2. SKY Atlantic
3. SKY 3D
4. Access to Premier Sports
5. Oh and half price for 12 months!
However since joining SKY Virgin have:
1. Closed the HD gap (In terms of channels I would watch)
2. Appear to have done a deal for SKY Atlantic
3. Added plenty new 3D TV to their demand line-up
4. Premier Sports is dying on it's ass
5. Do half price deals for 9 and 12 months if you bide your time waiting for the offer!
If SKY Atlantic really is coming soon, and BT Sports does go into the XL package, Virgin Media becomes a very attractive proposition. As a Virgin mobile customers I'm getting offers for 1Tb TiVo, and a V+ box for free in a second room to come back. My wife will also be happy as Style has launched on Virgin too.
Don't get me wrong personally I'm finding SKY to be a great service overall, and they do keep on creating new products and services, however not necessarily ones that excite me.
