Sky vs Virgin vs Youview etc


Ephren Taylor

Recommended Posts

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?

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

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?

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

Yh that's decent

Was with sky and moved to vm for the friends deal and I've probably reset the super hub about 5 times in a few years

Had bt at uni and had to reset that shit every hour

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.
