I am feeling less and less loyal to VM lately with there seeming constant price rises, lack of descent new content and above all the promise of doubling my BB speed which has been put back at least twice already.

For some reason I can't remember now, I ended up on the Sky website yesterday, and whilst i was there, out of interest, I thought I'd price up the services I get from VM on Sky. I have no Sky Movies or sports, so priced up for Sky Entertainment Extra, Fibre BB, HD, two set top boxes, phone line and 24/7 phone calls which is what I have on VM.
The monthly charge would have been £18 more than I pay VM.
For that £18, I would have got Sky Atlantic and a couple of other channels that I watch in HD. I would also have got ITV, 2, 3, 4, in HD, and of those, I only watch a little on ITV2 and given that 5.1 audio is missing and I find the SD picture quite good, that's hardly an incentive.
But I would also lose the three recordable tuners, whishlists, and other Tivo functionality if I moved to Sky.
So at £18 extra for Sky with not a lot of extra value for me (except Atlantic) but a lot to lose fromVM, staying with VM,
for me is a 'no brainer'.
