cheap phone/broadband/tv

Hi
this is my first thread so apologies if I make any mistakes!I am looking to get a better deal on my phone,broadband and tv package.Im with virgin for all three at the moment and have been for years.I dont think we have a BT line-just the virgin one running into the house.
How do I go about changing suppliers and can you have three different companies giving you three different things?Excuse my ignorance when it comes to this!!!I always thought because we were NI we couldnt get a choice-same as electricity supply-its only from reading a few threads on here Ive realised I can change!
thanks in advance :):)

    As you do not have a normal telephone line you are stuck with Virgin/NTL as they are different systems. If you want to change you will have to get a phone line installed as opposed to cable.

    Sky are doing a deal for tv/ broadband/ phone but you will still need a BT line - and check your area is suitable as I went through the whole rigmarole only to find out at the end I'm not in the right area and it would cost me an extra £30 per month at the moment :mad: May be good for you though - I think it's free box, free installation and £10 month (plus cost of putting BT line in ) but don't take my costs as certain as it can be quite confusing when you get into the nitty gritty of what you actually want!
    Life's a box of beads - rainbow coloured and full of surprises!:D

    BT will do the work but it depends on who you choose to pay line rental to, ie talk talk, plusnet etc. depending on your local exchange you may get a package from Sky for everything

    Thanks Rach
