Seems quite good

it is actually £35pm cheaper than I am currently paying to VM, i'd be daft not to give it a go!

good luck mate, hope it all works out for you.

Mate, i'm with you.

I hate that dish, and much prefer VM and my cable.

I have many personal reasons to hate some certain people associated with SKy

Clue.. JFT96, I was there, lost family, So the thought of moving back to Sky is not good in my book.

But being in Local Gov't, wages cut, I really have to look beyhond my personal predjudices and look to what deal is best for me.

On a personal note, our Peter who died at Hillsborough, would have been 37 today, but he will be forever 15

God Bless you Pee~Wac

I feel the same way about anything to do with News International and would never even use one of their rags for toilet paper as I would feel even more soiled.

Sorry for your loss as the pain will never go away.

On a separate note have you called Virginmedia and asked them to match the price at all it could be worth your while.

I thought I had good reasons to boycott Murdoch (which I do as much as I can, if it wasn't for Sky basics on VM I'd be 100% ******* free) but not a patch on you two, not after that 'The Truth' article that horrible papper published.

I came home yesterday to find my wife signing up for Sky. I asked all the questions, most notably Broadband Speed, and was told I can receive “up to 20Mb� I didn’t feel too confident questioning him, but my wife was really keen on moving from VM, as she really feels we pay far too much for our services (we get the lot)

Anyway, what it has come down to, is that we are getting the full Sky hit, TV, phone & Broadband, for a lot less than we are paying VM.

It seems we get a lot more channels, cheaper calls, sky player & more HD channels.

Now I’m sure there must be a catch, anyone care to educate me (and my wife) while we have a chance to reconsider?

Thanks

You really have to decide what's best for you , I have both and here's my thoughts

VM wins on Broadband speeds , Catchup Service , Free service calls ( replacement box ) , Free ESPN included with XL and free HD channels included in XL.

Sky Wins on better channel range , more HD content available and cheaper phone service.

Your Peter is up there having a good old kick about with some of the footballing legends and he is still 15!

A friend of mine has Sky and is very happy with everything except the broadband. He never gets anything like the "up to" speed.

Their broadband as the the last member posted is rubbish and nothing like Virgins fibre optic network.

Rubbish is a bit harsh , however it is dependant on the length of your line the same as all ADSL providers.

Perhaps it is a bit harsh but my experience and others is not that good.

I agree mate ADSL is outdated technology , however it depends what the OP does with his BB and how close he lives to the Exchange , a short line could see speeds of 14mb - 20mb however some people with long lines only see speeds of less than 1mb , simply not good enough in 2011.

I believe the average on Sky BB is between 6mb -8MB.

Yes I can believe that , its a case of what you use the internet for , if its mainly web browsing and email with occasional video , them speeds are more than enough if your a big downloader , movie streamer etc your probably going to want more.
