Sky, Virgin, Talk Talk or BT for tv, phone and broadband

Hi all,
Can anyone kindly recommend the best way forward if possible? I guess that's a how long is a piece of string question but I am running out of time to choose a package provider and read about problems with all of the above providers so don't have a clue who to go with.
Ok, 2 years ago I got a sky friends and family deal tv only which was £25 a month for 2 years (that then went up to £30) this is due to expire in just over a month and after speaking to sky this package would cost nearly £80 if I kept it on so I need to change.
For broadband and phone I am with virgin which is £45 a month for a virgin box in the bedroom (sky box is in lounge) that includes weekend calls and broadband which the other half is always moaning is too slow! think I am on the big M package if that helps.
I have left it pretty late in the day to be searching around but ideally want a provider who can do the lot for a good price with a decent speed broadband, not fussed about having a landline and calls and could get rid of the virgin box in bedroom.
So current spend is £75 for everything, ideally I would like to reduce that if possible but any advice welcome

Keep the broadband and phone from virgin as their broadband is the best and would cost you around £30 a month and get a freetime humax box. If you would like to keep some sky channels get a Nowtv box with subs from £6.99 a month with no contract.
The freesat humax 1100s is a really good piece of kit.0 -
Are you sure that your TV only deal will go up that much ?? I've got Family plus Sports plus HD (no films) and full price that would be £66.75 pm, but I'm only paying £29.85 pm plus I got a bill credit.:T
So have you got films as well? If so, then either knock off the bits you don't use or cancel and wait for a deal:):)0
