Been talked about on the "Coming soon thread"

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

And again, it's an important topic and should be deserving of it's own thread.

The Coming Soon thread is 90% drivel.

Thanks OP for pointing this out :)

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

Is the price only the wholesale increase from sky or have VM added a little extra on top? After the April rise that saw some customers bills increase by as much as £8 a month?


VM Customers should be asking....

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

I thought you would have known the answer to that - or are you just stirring it for your employer?

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

No one l know has had nowhere near the mythical bill increase you have suddenly invented as most peoples bills went up £2 to £3 pounds at the very most.

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

Mine will have gone up £5.25 when the new charges kick in :( If we get extra HD channels rumoured to be in the autumn then may be it is acceptable, but coming soon is a big joke on here. We shall see.

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

I have just cancelled sky sports collection that is i am afraid a jump too much.

If it is true the increase is such because of the unregulated F1 channel let us opt out of that as i do not really follow F1.

£3.25 a month is a very steep increase indeed.:shocked:

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

Yes there is no doubt that despite some of Skys sports channels being regulated they are still abusing their position in putting up the price of their unregulated channels to get around this and that in my mind is simply unacceptable but whether Ofcom do something about this is another matter..

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

So why has it not increased by this amount on other platforms

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

Yes i totally agree den,£309 a year for sky sports is a no no i do not watch much premiership or other football,but mostly the cricket which i shall now listen to on radio 5 live extra,and the highlights on channel 5 and in HD.!

If i remember correctly sky sports went up by £2 last time for VM customers and half that for sky customers.

Yes den it is unnaceptable i am out as the dragons might say.:D

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

Perhaps because Virgin get Anytime sports content and Sky Sports interactive features that Smallworld does not get and one also suspects Sky itself is probably subsidising its own customers to a certain extent as well.

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

Sometimes it seems virgin are happy to constantly increase prices and let their customers blame Sky. Yet VM never mention any price they pay or how much an increase they have had on wholesale prices.

They just sit back and let their customers cry greedy sky greedy sky, an unfortunately the customers fall for it. VM have stuck a stealth tax on this increase aswell as Aprils increase and the autumn phone line increase probably In the pipeline.

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

Do you know any retail company that does?

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
