Also on Virgin M and M+ customers aren't having a price change either - so equivalent to the 1/2 mix thing on Sky
And your proof for that (apart from Sky charging their own customers a different price) would be.......?

You miss the point!
In their letter VM say that Sky are increasing prices to
their own customers as well as VM customers.However, the majority of SKY customers subscribing to SKY Sports will not pay any increase.The price shown on the SKY website for Sky Sports includes the cost of the core mix.So, to put it plainly, a Sky subscriber with 1 Entertainment pack and Sky Sports 1& 2 was paying £35.50/month and will still be paying £35.50 from September 1st. A VM customer subscribing to Sky Sports will be paying £1.50/month more after October 1st.
So that is my proof for suggesting VM customers were being conned!
