WightCable = 5000 customers link (only thing I could find with numbers)
VN = over 3,300,000 customers.

I wonder if the other companies have the same "minimum payment" clause that was proposed to VM?
total 57,000 subscribers,not much clout then when bargaining for a price.if they didnt pay the price sky asked theyd be dead in the water!!! remember,VM annonced cust losses of 47,000 after the removal of the sky basic channels.youd think VM would have some clout when negotiating a price with sky,weve got 3.3m subs,thats a big audience for you to add to your figures and impress your potential advertisers with,wouldnt you want to do business with such a big potential audience??? obviously sky didnt.
