A broadband price war is what the UK needs.

You pay for what you get with broadband Chad and Sky's broadband is what it is and that's third rate generally in my experiences of it.

I disagree. I couldn't game with virgin connection, but could with the slower sky connection

So i was paying lots more with virgin for an inferior product

In my view, third rate = virgin.

And I have now experienced all the packages from the three main providers

Well each to their own opinion but we have rarely had a problem with our broadband as it runs very smoothly and it does what it says on the tin wherever my experiences of the other two have been simply no better then woeful and the speeds at times no faster then dial up.

lol...doesn't that depend on what it says on the tin?

eg
"Do not use unless an emergency, line speeds fluctuate"
:D

agree. They're doing it a lot and it's pointless.

The F1 channel could be ditched and just put on the sports channels as most of the time it has nothing on.

Whilst I'm not a fan of cricket, fans of specific sports have been asking for this type of thing.

Vrigin customers will be able to subscribe to SKY Sports Ashes for £15.50 per month, whilst SKY customers can get the channel for £13.00. What it means is cricket fans who don't currently have SKY Sports, or can't afford the full SKY Sports package, can enjoy a dedicated cricket channel from just £13.00.
