Add premium to that mix, Sky Movies, Sky Sports or both minus BT Sport, it's Sky

Add BT Sport, it's Virgin.

Both have their highlights in the TV market.

Regards Broadband, Sky Fibre can match the lowest available broadband speed on Virgin, which for some people is more than enough, and I believe (without line rental) it's cheaper from Sky.

Whereas Virgin can beat them if you want 120mb broadband.

I'm not really a sports fan, so personally all the channels and Sky Movies means by best offer is Sky, however I like fast broadband meaning my best deal is actually to have BB from Virgin and TV from Sky. I also have a dedicated line from BT for work purposes so don't really need the Broadband from Virgin.

The dedicated line is quite unreliable, so I leave personal things to my Virgin Broadband and work things to the dedicated line.

My best deal is to have a mix of both, however I was given a good offer by Virgin to get my tv and phone from them. If Sky could offer the same I would probably switch to them.

It's not about the channels, it's about the cost at the end of they day.

Post of the day !!!! bang on and I think both sky and vm now reliise that
