Yes and no. If I did that, I wouldn't get HD or 152MB BB. If you add the cost of those back in, I'm better off with the package. Pretty much decided to go BT + Sky when my contract expires in 5 weeks unless something dramatic happens with VM's pricing. It will mean a considerable drop in BB speed but I'll have every channel I want and be saving a chunk of money, and with 2 boxes I'll be able to record 4 programs at once. I appreciate that this option is not available to everyone and that I'm fortunate enough to live in an area where there is reasonable choice. Maybe you don't have that choice but my suggestion is that if you do have a choice, then exercise it - if enough people do, VM will get the message.
