Hello,

Let me tell you what I currently have

Sky TV (Entertainment Plus) 3 boxes (1x 2tb, 1x 500gb i think and 1x Sky plus) I currently have Sky Sports and Sky Movies but this will be dropping off as I am trying to save money.

Sky Fibre internet. On 33mb down and 9 up.

Sky talk weekend.

Now a month I pay £87. But I been looking at Virgin Media again. I went on their site and with the option of 100mb, TV XL and Talk evenings and weekends its £53.29 for the first 6 months and £80.27 there after with a one off payment of £49.95 but I am missing the third box. And loosing space on one of the boxes for recordings.

I understand the three tuners and that is a plus but its not a deal clincher for me now due to catchup and +1 channels.

I dont need 152mb either. Also how good is the hub now? Last I heard it was very very poor on wireless.

My other option is to ditch Sky phone and internet but keep the TV and move over to Virgin 100mb and phone line. This is £28.49 per month for the first 6 months and then £36.49 there after. My Sky subscription would then be

So my three options are:

1. Move everything to Virgin Media and pay £80 per month

2. Stay with Sky and pay £87

3. Mix them up. Keep TV with Sky and move to Virgin Media for the internet and phone and pay £96 a month but get faster net and better television (in my opinion before I get flamed).

Please lets not turn this into a flame wars between the two companies. I am not hear for this. I am hear to get opinions and what would be better for me.

Thanks for reading.

PS, sorry if this is in the wrong place.
