Thinking of moving from sky to virgin

Hi,

I'm at the minute I have sky+ (full package without movies) in my tv room and virgin media base tv package in the lounge I also have 10mb broadband and phone with virgin.

Now I'm paying over 100quid a month to have both sky and virgin so I want to cut down on this.
I am looking at the virgin VIP package that would give my the full tv package 20mb broadband and full phonecalls except premium rate and mobiles for around 90pound.
I would have to pay 75 for the Virgin V+ box and possibly extra intallation charges due to the fack I want my internet entry point re-locating to my tv room to I can have my xbox hardwired online.

What to do think is this the best way to go ie all with virgin or are there cheaper alternatives?

Thanks,

Pete.
I'll get me coat!

  • See if you can view the local VM picture quality, in this area it is dire.

    Already have the base tv package with VM and the quality is fine. Think I will probably go with the VM VIP package not chap at £90 a moth but everything under one roof so to speak.

    It makes no sense having sky at all in your setup, vip is expensive but you are getting movies aswell, you could see if you could save by not getting movies unless you want them.
