Should I get a Sky Package or Virgin Package?

I'm considering changing provider, Talk Talk has been fine but I want TV package and a lot faster Internet.I don't want to be caught between 2 company's Id rather have the 1 bill. I wanted to original get SKY HD + and 4 entertainment mixes - Variety Music Knowledge Kids I also wanted to get Sky sports 3 for the wrestling :P and I'm sure another few shows would be good like snowboarding/Skateboarding but its something I could do without. I haven't ever had Sky or any TV service so I don't know what else it really has to offer, but WWE would be funky. I'd like shows that are on the entertainment mixes, stuff like the new South park episodes - when they air same with The Simpson's, I don't want to be to bombarded with repeats, a few times but not all the time. I'd like a channel similar to Kerrang and other music channels. I would like really fast Internet I love gaming online and I can have multiple devices running at once e.g PS3/360/PC/Wii playing games online even as a server host - not dedicated just when I go on create a server where I play on. Fast downloads of course. No limits, Good speeds during peak and non peak times. Now I really don't know much about how Internet works in terms of speed affecting - I mean I know up to 20mb Is cool but how much would I get peak and non peak? Is there a point, is there a limit to how much certain areas get and how do I find this out. I know Sky don't have as fast speeds as Virgin. I'd like a new router that can support multiple devices whether its wired or wireless. Phone I would like total free calls to landlines in the UK, cheap mobile and other calls as well as cheap or free calls to Portugal ( as talk talk offers) I'd also like my line rental done through the company and that it to be cheap enough. Is HD Sky or Virgin any good - Blu Ray looks funky but how does sky and virgin fair up? Id like a box with all the bells and whistles. What should I go for Sky is the only thing I have seen in action a few times so I'm slightly more familiar with it, that doesn't mean I won't try virgin. Thanks guys Sorry if I don't make much sense and it being a bit long.

4. Virgin all the way! I had Sky for 4 years, and have had Virgin for the last 2, and haven't looked back! None of that ridiculous loss of signal when it rains - no expensive box office movies! Virgin is great! It's got Movies On Demand, which is like box office, but it also has older movies that you can watch, and special offers etc. When you're looking at the tv menu, you can still see a small screen in the top corner, so you can carry on watchinig what you were watching. It's cheaper. I have the Virgin Plus box, so like Sky Plus, you can record etc, and it's fab!
