Realistic prices for a full package?

Options
Can anyone help with this please?

I am currently with Sky and have just TV - we have the films and all sports. No HD.

I currently have TalkTalk internet & phones - with unlimited daytime and weekend calls.

If I were to take the whole package to Virgin as a new customer what sort of good deal do you think I should be looking for?

Can anyone please help?

    Virgin are very competitive on price, not so good on choice (Sky deliberately withhold channels like Sky Atlantic) and their HD choice is free but limited (doesn't apply I know). Their internet is excellent, but their landline prices are exorbitantly expensive.
    Ring them up, tell them what you are paying Sky and what for. See what they offer.

    Yes, that or a freesat box. Go into the settings and make it non-freesat and all the FTA channels appear. Even so, a lot of it's rubbish.

    If your broadband is unlimited, many set top boxes and some TVs will give you iPlayer and YouTube access too, giving you even more viewing choices.

    Maybe you haven't thought of sticking with SkyTV, and adding their phone and broadband?
    To add them to a TV sub is £12.50 and rubbish (2GB cap) comes free. More realistic is £7.50 for 'unlimited' or £20 for Fibre (Fibre to the Cablinet, AKA BT Infinity). These prices only apply to Sky subscribers, and prices are going up a bit...

    If you decide to go for a Virgin package make sure you go through a cashback website like Quidco (I'm not allowed to post links yet!) - they're offering £76 cashback at the moment.
