Asked what they could to to put it sports and movies back on and would have been £85 + line rental saver.
said it wasn't very compelling compared to sky.
then asked if i upgraded to VIP what could they do.
ends up i get VIP with 1GB TIVO, keep my V+ box, sky sports and movies in HD, asian channels, unlimited phone to land line/mobiles (previously weekend land line calls only) 100MB BB (was 20MB) new superhub2 (have a 9yr old modem just now), and a 12 month contract fo £89 + line rental saver option. so £99 a month for that.
i'm a LFC fan and only 3 games on BT sports in next 3-4 months so will go down the pub to watch. If it comes to virgin the great but overall i'm getting a lot more for my money than before......same package on sky was working out more.

For me its was cheaper to move to SKY/BT. I leave Virgin on the 1st September. On VIP (£114 with line rental and without future sky price rises), SKY/BT will cost me £105 (including all the price increases) for similar packages, although I will now get BT Sport and Sky Atlantic HD. Faster BB with Virgin, though BT Infinity speed of 65mb not to bad.
I suppose its different for each customer and the package required
