Essential Family Collection - VM's response to BT?
Just realised something about the new Essential Family collection - it (potentially) prevents me from moving to BT.

BT's top triple-play package with extra channels in HD (TV Entertainment +
HD Extra + Unlimited BT Infinity 2) works out to around the same price as VM's Essential Family Collection when prepaying line rental on both platforms.

BT wins out on pure broadband speed (76Mb vs 30Mb - pending VM's BB upgrade to 50Mb) and just about on price (£33 + £3 for HD Extra vs £39 for VM XL) but VM wins hands down on channels (200+), HD content (43 channels vs 15) and the better PVR (TiVo vs YouView).

BT's TV Entertainment + HD Extra + Unlimited BT Infinity 2 : £36
VM's Essential Family Collection: £39

Isn't competition great?
