Everyone here moaning about sky do they have a good reason they cannot get sky tv themselves or is out of choice?

Mate that is a load of rubbish!
It would bring Sky down to the same level as VM! How would it? Sky aren't about to change their tactics or their customer service is not going to get suddenly worse because competition is healthier.
Sky are far too dominant and use bully boy tactics to get what they want.
If they were fairer then the market would be much better off. I understand they are a business and really can not say i blame them but they are crippling every one else on the market and are treading on too many toes.
Other companies should be allowed to grow and offer good services without being bullied because that means their customers lose out.
I had Sky a few years ago and found i got an overall better deal with then Telewest and i get an even better deal now they are VM. there has been some major improvements.
Fact is Sky was worried two small cable companies becoming one and doubling its strength and capability. They have much more muscle as one company than they ever did as two and therefore Sky did it's best to **** on it's launch. They put VM in their place from the word go. Only now are they beginning to come back from that and are now posting their best quarter since merger and one of the best in cable history.
Now there is issues with them ignoring their regulators! You can't do that!

I think a lot of people are still hung over from the losing of the sky 1 episode ( pardon the pun ) so a lot of comments could be seen as very much tongue in cheek.
Lets face it, what did vm replace sky 1 with?  |
Let me see.......
1. Virgin 1 lots more first run content than Sky1 and lots more home commissions.
2. Setanta sports.
3. Setanta sports news.
4. About 2 thousand more hours of VOD and it's still growing. Including some HD series too.
5. Broadband upgrades and another two coming soon 50meg is coming soon and 4 meg customers get a free upgrade to 10meg.
6. Aresenal tv, Liverpool tv.
7. Free music videos on demand!
So quite a lot actually. Lot's more than ever just having Sky basics
