Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II

Adding Movies to the above would take the cost to £76 a month.

Then add in line rental of £11.99 and you reach £88/month. Not far from my guess of £91.49 but more than Sky's £78.50. Improve Sky's broadband to answer ahardie and Sky costs £86/month.

So Virgin is £2/month more and you get less for your money.
That is WRONG.

You end up with the following - BB L, TV XL, Phone M, Sky Sports and Movies with the HD option.

The price for that is £81.99 per month.

Check this yourself on the bundle builder:

The only thing you cannot put into the builder is the £7 for the HD premiums. Everything else comes to £63 + £11.99 = £74.99 then add £7 to get the quoted £81.99 total.

PS One of the flaws in your pricing is that Sky Movies is only another £7 extra on top of Sky Sports, not £14.50 as per your argument.
