BT/Virgin/Sky

Options
Evening all,

Hope someone can advise on what's the best to do...
I currently have a Virgin Phone Line, Virgin Broadband and Virgin Freeview (in the kitchen to keep the children amused), but Sky TV in the living room.
I don't want Virgin anymore because I feel their prices are high (paying discounted rate of £9.99 for 2MB/S), and we hardly use the phone. So paying arounf £20 for that.

Thinking of getting the free reconnection to BT, but they want £50 deposit due to bad credit (can't afford).
Would be willing to stick with BT for call charges, but go to Sky for broadband...
Also want Sky+ box for living room, and multiroom for bedroom (partner expecting so wants to be able to do something whilst bf baby during night).

Is there anyone that knows the best thing to do?

All help appreciated

    The best thing to do is cancel your sky, broadband, and phone because you cannot afford a £50 deposit and have severe credit issues.

    Agreed with clickclash you cant afford a £50 deposit so how are you going to pay for your services each month?

    YOu are wanting a lot and already have virgins services, plus sky. Your wanting multi room, sky plus etc but you cant afford a £50 deposit, either way your looking at increasing your services to quite a high ammount for doing so.

    SInce you have virgin already you may be able to strike a deal for the virgin plus box and any other box in another room is £5 extra per month.

    Phone line is included anyway because you have the tv.

    But you need to look at it sensibly if you cant afford a deposit you cant afford it at all.
