I've done the deed, 50% off Sky is a great deal. But what clinched it was the comments made by the VirginMedia retention teams (I rang twice, so maybe a scripted response?). They only seemed interested in retaining my broadband business! Encouraging me to retain their broadband and move my TV to Sky!
Almost as if the TV is dying element of their business!
So although I'm not A prolific poster on this forum I do and will follow it on a regular basis, but good luck to those waiting for for nothing to happen on virgin TV
