Pretty much. He wasn't looking to leave, he was calling to see if there was any new offers of packages.

I found it strange they offered a package including just SKY Sports 1 & 2 when this isn't something they appear to currently offer via their website.

I don't care much for either just which is cheaper.

Switching is best
I agree 100%

I switched to SKY for 50% off. My deal runs out in December. I did notice recently that Virgin had a 1 week special being 50% off for all new customers for 12 months. Through my work, Virgin are offering 9 months for half price plus £50.00 off my first bill.

I've still got both my V+HD box and my TiVo box. I tried to return them at my local parcel collection point but their scanner didn't recognise the bar code. I called Virgin 3 times to arrange uplift without success. I did get a visit from a field agent but I was out. I called his mobile a few times and left messages but never heard back from him. If I go back to Virgin I've still got my viewing cards, all the cables, my broadband hub and boxes. I could be up and running again within a phone call.
