    You could get all Sky channels, unlimited internet and Evenings and Weekend calls with Sky for that. Call up Virgin and tell them this - and tell them you wish to leave if they don't match it.

    Sky world: £52
    Telephone: £1 (offer)
    Fiber BB: £20
    Total: £71

    Sky World: £52
    Telephone: £1 offer
    ADSL: £7.50
    Total: £60.50

    And those costs are before cashback etc.

    Virgin have a deal where they will match sky like for like at the moment - so go on and get the bill cut!
    My user name is SkyInsider... I worked for Sky quite some time ago, also worked for Virgin Media and a few other tech companies as a consultant. All views are my own ;)

    If you can't get a reduction tt might also be worth you looking at Netflix / LoveFilm options instead of Sky Movies. I know if you get Netflix and go via their US equivalent you get a far better choice.
