That sounds like too much hassle and Cable internet is much more reliable than ADSL, so i'm just baffled as to why you'd want to do that. Why don't you give Virgin Media a call and maybe get a special offer from their retentions team , I managed to get the XL phone package,M Broadband and L TV package for £21 per month.

Furthermore, I have the option to take out the Virgin Mobile offer 300 mins and 300 texts for £10 extra so i could get all 4 services for £31 per month, with regards to the non-direct debit admin fee, I'm gonna switch to direct debit soon anyway.

Furthermore, if you need an extra telephone line for work or fax use, then they could install one for a as little as £25.

And with SKY, you don't get the following:

Virgin Central-On Demand programmes selected by Virgin Media
Catch up TV- on demand programmes of programmes missed
TV choice- A library of on demand prgrammes
Music- A very large library of music available on demand
Filmflex- 500 movies which can be watched on demand

All of the above can be fast forward,rewinded and paused. Sky don't do this. Also when your Sky box breaks down or your ADSL modem breaks down and ithe warranty runs out, who do you think has to pay for replacements? You do! Also you have to pay for call outs too whether its Sky's equipment or your fault.

So i'd think very carefully before switching!
