Sky or Virgin?

Hi all,

I'm moving into a new place in a couple of weeks and am looking into my options for my tv/broadband provider. I've been with Virgin Media for about 10 years but last year I did have a few connection issues so I'm happy to consider a change. I was also looking into BT but there are a couple of channels it's missing (not a huge tv watcher but still) so that's a no.

How does Sky's fibre unlimited compare? the website gives me a speed of 40.9mb which is lower than the 60mb I've got with Virgin but I'm aware there's no traffic shaping and tbh 40mb would be fast enough. I wouldn't want to move if there were conection issues or if that 40mb estimate stood a good chance of being 10mb real world speeds though so I don't know whether to play it safe with virgin or go with sky.

Any tips?

In my experience Virgin Internet is much better than Sky, but Sky has better TV packages.

The Tv is definitely a lesser priority tbh. I only watch very occasionally which is why I was originally considering BT before the other half veto'd it.

VM would definitely be the safe option for me.

Cheers

me? I've only asked on OCUK and figured this was the most appropriate despite the TV element. Your offer could definitely swing it though thanks

Sky Fibre hands down over Virgin cable.
