Sky, Virgin Media or other?

I currently have Sky but my mum is thinking about moving back to Virgin Media as it's a cheaper alternative. They're currently doing a full package which would supply me with XXL broadband, a buy two boxes get one three deal and they offer the phone service for £114 monthly. My mum currently pays £160 a month for SkyTV & other(s) but I think she's pretty much settled with going back to Virgin Media.

What packages do you have and why?

I'm on Virgin Media, trust me, it was the worst decision we could make so we're moving back to Sky...
Sure, virgin has Catch Up On Demand, but half of the time it doesn't work and they get the programmes mixed up... I once turned on Emmerdale only to end up watching Casualty!
So we're moving back to Sky, and it's the best thing ever... + Virgin has a hella lot less channels, and chances are you'll regret going to them, their customer support thing is horrible too, once my mother was on the phone to some polish guy for over an hour, only to get told they couldn't think of any solutions to the freezing...

Why did you only put on two options & other? Limited much?!

And I have Top Up TV Anytime, which is just awful.

i've been with virgin since they opened as ntl. i've never had any problems with them and their support has been next to nothing for us, it's great.

my broadband is reliable, quick and yeah just good compared to a sky broadband i used at someone else's house, supposed to get 20mb and they got 4. whereas i get what i am paying for.
