Obviously that's to head off what might happen when BT start their Champion's League coverage.
I'm going to have a think about that because I'd probably be prepared to let the tv go after 12 months anyway, and Sky broadband is better priced than Virgin so it wouldn't be the end of the world to be tied in to them for a further 6 months on top.
Food for thought, cheers.

Needless to say Virgin aren't picking up!

I'm thinking the same as you Andy, the Sky offer is excellent. I can't get fibre BB with Sky but the ADSL is quoted at 10-15Mb which would probably suffice for the browsing and bit of streaming my wife and I do (although a bit reluctant to go back to ADSL). All in for the Family Pack, Sports, Movies, HD, Unlimited BB & Phone it'd be £53.65 with Sky for 12 months.
I'll stick it out with VM until May as I've paid for the Sky Sports season ticket until then but once that's expired, I'll seriously shop around. Maybe even look at keeping the BB & phone with VM and TV with Sky as that may even work out cheaper than I currently pay and still have fibre BB.
You'll have to let us know how you get on with retentions as last time I spoke to them, they said their loyalty discounts had all reduced since the launch of the Big Bundles due to them being quite heavily discounted already. Good luck
