Virgin is more expensive than sky... i acually think a better service...and tbh...Virgin get all there services from Sky..so invariably there prices will be going up

I HATE Virgin media, he won't let me change to sky as he doesn't want a satellite dish on the house. The internet is said to be better on Virgin but it's always going down and the TV guide is slow. I prefer sky.

Got Virgin phone, broadband & Tivo (basic channels) in my bedroom & HD box in daughters room. Sky (full package) in living room.

Looked in to going with just one provider to try to save money. Either way I would only save about £2.00, didn't seem worth all the hassle.

Only problem I find with Sky is when it's really hammering it down with rain.

Had Sky years ago

The big advantage with Virgin is that all the kit still belongs to them while you are in contract with them so if any part needs replacing or upgrading they do it at usually their cost. With Sky, you own the kit

We got rid of Sky many years ago as it was always playing up. Went with Virgin and they are fantastic.

No probs with Virgin here, sometime the Tivo is a bit slow getting into Netflix but otherwise i find it's a good service for the money. Broadband is super fast as well but then again, it all depends how close you are to the exchange (even if you're on fibre optic, there's invariably cables somewhere in the network).

No problems wiuth sky apart from the price.Although they do reduce quite good

When haggling with them dont just say im going with someone else as they know all the other deals now. tell them you cant afford what your paying and may have to leave, especially when they are doing deals with new customers

I phoned Sky and whinged and whined and got them to reduce it by nearly £20. Just threaten to leave and they do a deal. Not sure if Virgin are cheaper but it saves he hassle of swapping.

Started off with Virgin... No issues

Changed to Sky years ago when Virgin lost Sky 1 and Sky Sports News and my ex insisted he needed those.

As soon as my ex moved out I went back to Virgin.

TV and Internet have always been far more reliable for me than they were with Sky

Talk Talk with entertainment boost for the more popular channels - even sky sports!

Not that I watch it

£45 per month including unlimited internet and calls from land line - moved from sky, had multi room package - cost me £145 per month

No brainer for me

For me sky beats Virgin ....was with Virgin for nearly 3 years and bills had doubled in that time ...internet speed has dropped ...changed to sky got more channels and faster broadband at a third of the price
