Have you rung VirginMedia customer retentions on 0800 0529403 (option 3) and explained what you're thinking of doing? I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the reduced deal they'll offer you
I was NTL, then NTL Telewest now VirginMedia and was getting TV with full movies and sports and phone line with 1Mb broadband, cost about £80-85 a month. I now get TV with full movies and sports, unlimited free phone calls 24/7 (to 01 and 02 landlines) and 2Mb broadband at a cost of £57.45 for life!
One thing to remember is that sky, like all non-cable broadband providers offer download speeds of 'Up to', with cable you pretty much get what it says on the tin all the time.
