Is it possible to mix Sky and Virgin?

[nichorob]

Evening all,

Quick question, is it possible for me to get Sky HD for my television service but keep my 20mb Virgin Media cable broadband? I realise that Sky needs a BT phone socket so could I just get broadband through Virgin Media and nothing else? Is there any extra charges for this sort of thing if it is possible?

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick responses.

Yep, I realise its going to cost me an arm and a leg to have the Virgin telephone line taken out and a BT one put in and then have Sky HD installed.

At least I know I can do it now though, I seem to be one of the lucky few who live in a decent cable area in terms of performance and I really wouldnt want to surrender my 20mb cable for ADSL considering I live about 3.5km away from my BT exchange!

I use Virgin Media 4MB and phone. And also use Sky Digital. I've never heard before that you had to use a BT phone line before. Never had any problems with Sky either.

Oh right, I was 99% certain that one of the requirements of Sky was a BT phoneline?

Il have to look into it, thanks.
