Personally I wish that they wouldn't remove this option for the lower tiers but I am in agreement with Zantarous that there may be other more complex reasons for doing this other than they wanted to force people on to xl tv. Mainly because I think the take up of the £7 option would have been very limited anyway. So VM have got little to gain anyway.

To be honest there is very little in the costs between the two, but there is quite a big difference in what content a lower tier subscriber gets access to with Sky and I think that is the point I am making. I object to VM almost forcing people onto the highest tier if they want to merely keep their current services. Sky (and to a lesser degree BT and Talk Talk) all seem to align their on demand content to your subscription so I see no reason why VM cannot do this too, why would VM be singled out by content providers?, I don't buy it.
If anyone thinks this is a fairer way of doing things then that's their prerogative, I just don't happen to think it is and I can't think of anything more to say, we shall disagree!
