Virgin / Sky / Bt?

Discuss...

I've had Sky for a few years now. Can't remember the price though I know its competative. I get Sky+, internet, phone with free evening and weekends, i'm sure it's around £21 a month. Very good internet never had a problem with connectivity.

Yeah i was looking at sky because the tv package is gonna be the best, but the internet speed maxes out a 2mb i believe? compared to like 11mb on bt?

Says on sky website I can get between 10mb and 20mb when I check my phoneline.

It all depends on where you live mate.

I was watching something the other day and it was basicly saying that is all balls and no one in the country actually gets that speed. Its just saying what could be obtained but no one ever gets it

But id check on their websites etc for best coverage in your area.

We have BT for phone and tinternet and sky+ for telly i dont know why we dont put it all on sky tbh would probably the cut the bills alot

We're on Virgin Media for everything. We got a good deal on the TV because we phoned them up threatening to switch to Sky and they gave us the XL TV package (every channel) for free and halfed the price of the phone or something

, never had a problem with them.

Depends what you mean by "best" but BT will not be the best at anything

Well an average of best wireless internet speed, best channel selection, and most competitive call rates/line rental. I live in a good area for signal etc. so should be ok.

Proof of Bt not being the best at anything? Currently just have a homehub with them and cant say i'm disappointed with it...

Have heard alot of bad about the packages, customer services off various sites and couple of family members, virgin and sky from what i hear are about the same for most bits but virgin offers better value for money, this is second hand info tho as i don't have any of them

Fair enough, I have to admit I have heard mixed reviews about their customer service... most of their call centres are in India i believe; so much for "British" Telecom
