  • Hi, are you sure this is right?

    The Virgin media package you have mentioned should be only £30.50 per month including line rental. It goes up to £46 if you add Sky Movies....

    Plus you're not comparing like-for-like:
    -Sky charge around £60 for the Skybox and installation. Virgin does not charge anything;
    -Sky 'Broadband Base' is up to 2mb download speed with a 2gb monthly usage, wheras Virgin Broadband L is up to 10mb with an unlimited monthly usage.
    Profit=sanity
    Turnover=vanity
    Greed=inhumanity:dance:

    Oh sorry, that's for TV Size: XL. If I downgrade to TV Size: : L, my bill would be £40 (£5 a month is included as it's not free on the TV Size: L package.

    Is this right?
