VM telephony is the most expensive in the UK.
And once you are cabled with VM and your BT line is disconnected, the only way out ito another ISP s to pay £130 for reconnection.
Bundled packages are not necesarily the best, there is no connection between a TV service and a phone/broadband service, so consider the alternatives for broadband-what are your LLU options?

You have the FTA channels not freeview

OP it depends what services you wish to use and whether both can provide them. e.g. the channel line up is not the same on both

Having been with both, I think I slightly prefer Virgin as they've always offered us a good package and I like the way you can record 2 programs while watching a 3rd on the V+. I never had any problems with Sky, but I did with BT and was glad I switched to Virgin. Also, I find Virgin's broadband much faster.
