At least there prices rise by just £1.00 OR £2.00 per year, not like VM who have increased there price THREE times in the past 16 months.

Didnt you already go to Sky and left within 14 days? What has changed since you left a few months ago?

Or maybe young footballers playing for other country's don't think that now they have a pro contract that they have made it and as soon as this wretched tournament is over they can jet off and try and get into P Diddys latest Ho party.

Overall Virgin have always had the better all round package as its nice to have broadband that works smoothly and is quick  and is not the dial up type rubbish speeds   l am experiencing on holiday with my parents at this current moment.

I don't think SKY Sports 3, SKY Sports 4 and SKY F1 are price regulated. Of all the providers that do carry all SKY Sports channels, Virgins prices aren't the worst.
1. Talk Talk - £30.00 per month
2. UPC Ireland - £29.00 per month
3. Virgin Media - £25.75 per month
4. Wight Fibre - £22.50 per montj
5. SKY - £21.00 per month
6. Smallworld - £16.00 per month
With prices varying so greatly, I can't see it being SKY who are dictating what providers must charge. There is no way Talk Talk would accept SKY telling them they must charge almost double what Smallworld do. Smallworld must be taking a hit whilst everyone is is turning a profit. With the wholesale price of SKY Sports 1&2 jumping up to £20.78 from September, it will be interesting to see by how much the above prices jump. Wasn't the last wholesale price for SKY Sports 1&2 set at £10.63?

Each company have their pros and cons. Virgin offer a great all round service, which SKY are close to emulating. I would say that I was happy with my Virgin services until 1 price increase too many last year. Since then Virgin have done a great job adding lots of missing HD channels, and niche SD channels. At the same time SKY have improved their fibre network and on demand service.
As a consumer I thing both offer great all rounds services. I'd be happy to jump back and forth between the 2 companies without feeling like I'm missing out on too much. If Virgin can add BT Sports, add SKY Atlantic, ease up on traffic management and hold prices for 12 months I'd have to say that Virgin would be the overall best service provider in the UK.

Too much baiting and flaming in this thread.Hugh has already asked for people to stick to the topic and apparently has been ignored.So I have removed several off topic postings and closed the thread for a short while until everyone gets the message. It will be opened in 10 minutes and if people can't follow the topic rule there may well be infractions issued.
