I changed from Sky to Virgin in december and its really good.
Our sky used to go blocky quite a few times a day, no probs with Virgin so far, internet is fine & telephone too.
Im happy having everything with Virgin and its about £10 cheaper per month here.

Or go with FreeSat and never pay anything again! And you can get a decent FreeSat PVR too.
But you do miss out on some good channels and no broadband.
Yes, but I also have a 20Mg Virgin cable broadband so can download pretty much anything almost instantly,
See my first comment about monkeys butchering your house though...

Just had it all installed and fortunatly the bloke was alright and put everything exactly where i wanted it. Haven't tried the telly much yet
but the internet is spot on. I went for the 10mb internet and i'm getting 9.9mb so i can't grumble at that.

I used to be Director of TV Networks for VM up until last August when I left.
As far as the TV product is concerned VM offers superior On Demand content over Sky but Sky win hands down for normal broadcast and HD channels. In
the region of 300 TV services for VM and 500 for Sky. Realistically, 90% of the population will watch on average no more than 10 channels out of all
available. However if you really want HD then you need to consider Skys HD service against the VM VOD HD movies, balances things out a bit. All in
all you pays your money and make your choice for the TV Product. The main issue from VM is not when the product is working but when it isnt. Customer
service leaves a lot to be desired......
Over the next 9 /12 months VM are upgrading their TV platform and sending out new smart cards. This will have 2 major impacts, firstly all pirate
cards will become null and void and secondly the TV service fault rate will improve dramatically as well as giving additional capacity for future HD
channels
