    If I dont want a phone line could I get the Big Kahuna package for just the £35 a month?
    No, you have to take the 'phone line if you want that £35 deal. If you take the TV and BB separately, it's likely to cost almost as much (or even more) than a triple package!

    As I said earlier, why don't you just take advantage of Sky's Home Move Service?

    The Virgin deal would then cost £50.99. I am now paying Sky £25.75 for TV and BT £33.02 (for landline and BB) a total of £58.77. So I would be paying Virgin £7.76 less for more or less the same services. The Virgin BB would also be much faster.

    I am still not clear whether the LL will permit a Sky dish so may not have that option anyway. Many thanks for your very helpful responses to my queries. They are very much appreciated.

    Do note some significant differences in the channel availability. Virgin does not have Sky Atlantic, for example, so no more Game of Thrones etc.
