Ephren Taylor Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I made the switch from Sky to Virgin about a year ago, but am probably looking to switch back to Sky I made a few savings, but Sky just performs "better" IMO. The savings aren't worth having to endure the way Virgin works I just need to find a better package combination to keep costs down Who are you with? Ever switched? How much do you pay for TV & Broadband each month? Is YouView any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gattsu Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 With virgin , can't stand skys random behaviour with the weather ,think their on demand is poor, and it has more recording limits compared to virgin, Plus the virgin net here shits on sky's from a great height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerser Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 From I was a yout - all we ever had was sky And before that we had cable So I have sky in my yard, everything else is too fiddly Sky's layout is so clear and simple to navigate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greens Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Prefer sky to virgin for tv but when it rains its dead. And virgin broadband >>> sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloStark85 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'm a Sky man too, paying about 70 a month for the full Monty...sports, movies, internet, telephone....not cheap but I'd do anything to not have that horrible clunky interface that Virgin try to palm off as a service. All the Usain Bolt adverts in the world won't convince me otherwise so give it up Richy I'd keep it for Sky Go alone, that sh*ts a lifesaver Shout out to Idris Elba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApolloStark85 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Movie subscriptions are the biggest bump ever. I know bredrin and I download most of my sh*t too but having on demand for all movies is THE one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 just "haggled" Virgin Media to £28 per month for internet+phone basic package (50mb and weekend calls, inc line rental) is that decent? I'm thinking of moving to TalkTalk 'cause its like £20/month for the same, but can get £125 cashback with quidco, which equates to about £13/month for the 18 months anyone dealt with TalkTalk?

DO NOT EVER GO WITH TALK TALK BROADBAND WORST INTERNET EVER!!!! theirs reason why its cheap all i remember is being on the internet at 2am or so, then internet locks off, go downstairs restart router, that shit was a routine!!!!

dub Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 becomes a routine with loads of providers, I remember with Sky that was normal, and even Virgin Media when I had them before Sky, though they've been aite this time around apparently its normal to need to power cycle your router for best results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest28 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 nah it got ridiculous, im with sky now and at most ill only have to do it once a week. but with talk talk it was daily thing, plus the routers they send out are shit. even though most people should actually go out buy a decent router.

FinalBawse Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 C/S talk talk being pooooor. I dont actually watch tv anymore, between amazon instant and netflix dont need it.

FinalBawse Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Erm realised i went off topic lol. i didnt like sky broadband.. for me it was never near claimed speeds the tv was clean, interface is the best out there. plusnet fibre atm 20 a month. The one time i had issues customer service was non existant but its only been once. virgin offering top speeds so might switch to them next for BB only.
