What is the best next step for an 'Out of contract' SKY Q and Broadband customer.

[RJMC]

So based on below, and what I am looking to do, what is the best options for us.  any advice from anyone?

We have been with SKY for 17 years.  Current package (with the price I pay for each element) is

• SKY Q with Sky Signature = £27.50
• Ultimate TV Add On (including top tier of NETFLIX) = £8
• Sky HD =  £6
• Ultra HD = £4
• SKY Go Extra = £0 
• SO for my TV total is £45.50

and I have  Sky Broadband Superfast (60Mbps) = £27.50

I am out of contract for all above.

So they have just installed Sky Fibre in my street, and only two companies VONEOUS and VIRGIN are so far offering packages using it.  

And currently VIRGIN are offering me 264Mbps on an 18month deal for £25.99 a month (so cheaper than my current SKY broadband 60Mps at £27.50) or 516Mbps for £29.99

BUT we really enjoy using SKY Q especially as a PVR/Recording box.  So just not sure if its worth just switching to VIRGIN for the new FAST FIBRE deal, and stayting with current 'out of contract' SKY Q package for now.  Or are there better options we should consider?

OUR USEAGE of SKY TV

• We do not use KIDS/MOVIES/SPORTS on Sky. 
• But we do have a UHD TV so make use of that now if anything is being transmitted in that format.
• We use NETFLIX a lot, and think the package we have with SKY includes the top tier of that.
• We record a LOT.  (But I realise the days of recording are numbered, and we will all be moved to streaming at some point).

So... any suggestions/ideas? 

• Any experts or those with expereince advice any best ways forward. 
• Are there any parts of my current package that are redundant/not worh it in your opinions?

And also one more question.,  As we have broadband with SKY, that provides a more seamless streaming experience.  if I have my Broadband with VIRGIN, but use SKY for all my TV streaming services, will that be impacted in anyway.  Eg any dowanload limits / fair use issues VIRGIN will implement on me??

Thanks

Whatever that is, it's not 'Sky Fibre': Sky (like most ISPs) doesn't lay its own optical cable, and only uses the Openreach network.

As far as I know, Voneus is an altnet (private fibre company) and Virgin has always put in its own infrastructure, historically coaxial cable.
