Virgin do have an early termination fee process and they will calculate it for you depending on how far into your contract you are if you have to or want to cancel but you will lose money, in the case of Virgin it is a little on the high side but cheaper than soldiering on with the contract itself by quite a margin. No idea about Sky but at least 12 and probably 18 months are likely. You want to ask multiple times about this so you get the same answer in my experience. Regards.

Remember that these people are ruthless if you want to opt out of your contract, so do be very careful before signing up. Once you do, and pass what they describe as their "cooling off period", you have basically cooked your goose. If you try to leave, they will want you to pay the remainder of the contract. It's just business practice, so be warned!
