Sky vs Virgin Media boardband

suziequ

I have been with VM for ever but I am thinking of moving to Sky. I have two boys who play on Playstations every night and I am wondering how Sky compares to VM.

Will they see a difference in the broadband when they are online.

Currently have VIVID 200 Optical with VM.

Price is also important as my package is costing me £101 per month.

Thanks in advance for any help

They wont notice a thing. I have virgin media at 50mb and can play all games on xbox and ps4 without any lag or stuttering. If they download games it may take a little longer but nothing to complain about.

They might notice a difference between 200Mbps and 65Mbps !

I would first try and do a deal with VM. Don't mention the kids!

Tell them how much Sky is, if necessary go down to 100Mpbs and see if they can get close to the Sky price.


If the kids notice the difference between 100 and 200 (unlikely I hope) it will be easy to change it.
It won't be cheap to move between sky and vm

Don't forget sky will charge for a line connection. £65 ?
and charge for voicemail if you use that

Just type in to google " PS4 Max internet speed " you will find your answer.

Thats the big big cost driver .
If you want that on Sky its Sky Sports + BT Sports .

SO I have just got off the phone to Virgin.

They tried to upsell me to a better package for £94 per month or same as I have now for £91 per month.

I will wait and see if I get a call from them ...

JJ_Egan

What if they don't call ??
Cancelled lost phone number ??

AndyPK

they called me back exactly 24 hours after cancelling. I guess its to ensure you are in. SO be prepared

Did you get a better deal and did you stay with them?

AndyPK

No. The 2nd person said he could not get anywhere near and said I have found a really good deal. (NowTV £20)

The first person could only do a close deal for 6 months
