Sky v Virgin

FortyTwo2 — Sat, 28 Sep 2024 10:54:56 GMT

I have been with Virgin for 0ver 10 years (Sky before that) My current package is M250 + Maxit TV + Sports + Any time telephone. I am 'out of contract.'. The monthly bill keeps going up and this month is now at £95. What would the same type of package cost me with Sky?

Have you looked at and layer around with the package options on the Sky website ?

I can go on-line and build a package and end up witha price and that price is not much different than Virgin BUT I know from expereince that there are better prices to be had if I push hard, what I don't know is what buttons to press and how hard?

And then there's the detail - including the 'Sports' channnel is V expensive and I am paying for the salaries of premier league players and I don't watch football, in fact I don't watch any sport but my wife likes to watch golf and I don't know if I can get a golf channel from somewhere with paying for football?

Then there's the question around WiFi . . . Sky is now all 'pods' but can I trust that Sky BB will alwys get to all the pods?

It's highly unlikely that you'll get a better price than the new customer prices quoted on the website.

That's impossible to predict by any provider. It depends on local environmental conditions.

Sky Q (satellite television) is still a product.
