It also depends how many people are using the same internet connection at the same time. Children etc.

Re: Dilemma
Well friends, i have had Sky now for 4 days and I really have to say i'm impressed.
The picture quality seems so much better, which I found surprising. The number of channels is fantastic, and the red button works, but funnily now I have it, I'm not really bothered about it.
The Skyplayer is really good, just the Broadband to go, which is getting installed next Tuesday. I guess it is hen, that the honeymooon ends!!

I read somewhere you can pay £20.00 now to avoid this , not 100% on that though.

No but your TV sub increases if you don't take a VM landline , however still probably cheaper if you don't need a phone line , I have one so its not a big issue for me.

All I would say if you ever think of changing is look into what you want , remember ESPN is free with XL on VM and you have catchup , Sky has more channels and better HD range but they charge you 10.25 a month for it.

Re: Dilemma
VM also have TiVo. Even with the little bugs and problems that are discussed on here, it is the best set top box I have ever used. I had Sky+HD until December and I preferred that box over the V+, but TiVo blows it away. Will be incredible as it improves and new apps get added etc.

He wants to come over, you can sense it. It's only a matter of time
