Time to ditch Virgin?

I was looking at Sky Q the other night and on a whim I used VM live chat to ask when my contract is up this morning. Turns out it ebds tomorrow

Told the lady I eying up the box set package with fiberglass unlimited with Sky and she offered me 2 "amazing deals". Upgrade to 200mb and double my package price or, stay on the same package for £20 more than I'm currently paying. :eek:

Ignored that I'd told her my free upgrade I was promised for June 2015 never happened.

So looking to switch. What are the best deals right now? Undecided on Sky, or a freeway box and a streaming service or two. Thing is Netflix seems to be constantly losing content.

Moved to Sky Q box a couple of months ago from having Virgin TV. The difference is night and day in terms of speed and usability. Virgin was terrible. Kept virgin 100MB fibre though as Sky can't hope to match it anytime soon.

Did exactly the same. Sky Q is a huge improvement coming from the laggy hell that is Virgin TiVo.

This is what I'm thinking. Cancel everything but BB and try cord cutting. If I don't like that after a few weeks, call sky.

Anyone got any experience of Vodafone home broadband?
