The only true loss for me then is Sky Sports. At least I would save around £25 per month, and looking ahead to the next football season (being a Coventry City fan I want this season over now), there's always Sentena Sports at £15 per month. Withdrawing Sky Sports from Virgin could backfire on Sky in a BIG way then - how many Cable footy fans would go crawling back to Sky Sports when its finally put back on for Virgin Media customers?

No doubt about it. Sky's worse nightmare finally is coming true. Cable is finally getting its act together, and Sky are ****ting themselves. Its worth re-branding NTL Telewest for that alone.
