    If you go for Virgin and you add the minimum tv service as well, (put it in a bedroom if you dont need on main tv), you will get free installation. Plus if you route your order through topcashback or quidco you will get £65 cashback at the moment. You can tailor the broadband speed to that which you require on the order page. For me, VM broadband wins every time!

    You don't have to pay Virgin's call charges, route your calls through 18185.

    You don't say if you already have a BT line installed? If not you will have a possible install charge of up to £130 depending on which tariff you go for.
    Why only BT or VM-what are your LLU options?
