Re: sky vs virgin media
The didn't mention their awful broadband and £10.25 HD charge.
13p for better broadband is somewhat worth it.

Re: sky vs virgin media
Sky also forgot to mention that their average speed on 20Mb is less than 10Mb
Up to 20Mb 7.4 to 9.2Mb

Comparison between VM 18 month contracts and Sky’s 12 month contract. Excludes set-up costs.
LOL you got to love that if they are saying sky for 12 months is £10 cheaper than VM for 18 months.

Re: sky vs virgin media
Sky also miss out the £30 installation fee in the final figure (it's mentioned in the list, but not counted into the total -£19.50+£11.25=£30.75x12= £369).
It does mention it in the small print at the bottom, but still a little sly, imho.

Re: sky vs virgin media
Is there a site where you can compare everything from each provider bit by bit?
i.e. The boxes and services all broken down (so it shows what you get, and what's available)
Broadband and speeds etc.
Just wondering
