i no longer have Sky Sports/Movies and premium HD (£41.25). But i do get BT Sports/ESPN in HD included and possibly Netflix as well soon.

i have worked out ( i think correctly) the comparable price for this on Sky:

entertainment + (includes HD) £32
multiroom £11.25
Sky Fibre 38mb £20.00 but i cant get sky fibre in my area
tel talk anytime £19.50
BT/ESPN HD £15.00

total £97.75

thats a big saving with VM

sky movies/sports HD would be another £35.25- a bit cheaper than on VM. Both services have on demand and catch up. The only things SKY has is the Sports 3/4/F1 in HD a few other HD channels some of which may be coming to VM soon eg Sky Sports News HD- oh of course Sky Atlantic, and er.... 3D (i channel and i dont have a 3D telly anyway).

-add to that i have no maintenence /call out charges with VM-at the minute VM win hands down for me-
To be fair, you seem to be quoting a discounted price for the VM services but the full price for Sky. The list price for your services according to the website is £75.99 – still a lot cheaper than Sky.
