been with sky ever since they launched.
never thought of another provider.

I don't believe you can get Sky Atlantic with any other provider. Probably the only decent channel on there.

Virgin have the worst installation and customer services I have ever dealt with. Avoid them like the plague

If you really want to stay with sky, the cheapest way to get BT sports is to switch your broadband to BT (you get BTS for free).
You will only get it on one box though. If you want it on multiroom you have to pay extra.

We have basic SKY Family HD pacakage... £30-00 a month... backed it up with a Android box that I get all the Sport and films FOC... saves me a good £600 a year

I only get bt sport on my main box now. I don't get it on my multiroom boxes, which winds me up.

Virgin was faster for me, but it cost more and I was always on the phone to them as it had dropped out completely. Sky is slower, but cheaper and (for me anyway) hassle-free.
The thing with this discussion (the broadband aspect anyway) is that it's a bit like the bank one - Person A will say that HSBC are a nightmare, Person B will say they're great - it all depends on what you've experienced.
