yes but the HD is nowhere near as good as sky mate. i dont really have any issues with sky's service so i'll stick with them. i didn't realise you could just get BB and phone packages from virgin hence the thread. | |

I ended up sticking with Sky for the TV and broadband & phone line is from Virgin (well i also have the basic virgin TV as it saved £30 on instalation not that the box is plugged in) | |

As long as you've been with Sky over a year than that's a good plan. There are good deals to be had if you phone them up saying you're considering it, but not quite sure if they will beat BT for the "excellent service" and price you've had. | |

it will actually work out cheaper to get the bb and phone from virgin. almost £20/quarter cheaper so i'm going for that. then i dont have to bother with bt. | |

if you can get Virgin Media cable BB, then why don't you just get it on its tod? So you keep sky and BT for your house phone and VM for your BB.....simplez :thumbs: | |

Aye you can keep your sky package and just get the Virgin BB. Or Virgin BB & Telephone if you like. | |

Sky+ HD is WAY better than V+ HD (or whatever it's called). Stick with your TV package and just get cable internet. It's the nuts. :) | |

ah sorry mate i think you're right. we switched over from bt to sky bb and it was massively quicker although sky does suffer DLM problems which slows download speeds to about 12kb | |

I've always been with Virgin.. Only had problems with my internet and thats due to the fact the cable to my house was fucked up by my clumsy neighbours. | |

Virgin only have a couple HD channels. They don't have the same HD range. They also don't give you the same Sports channels. You may get Sports 1/2/3 but you don't get any of the red button features like picking your football first match, pick your champions league game to watch etc. | |
