Sky acknowledge it has given them something to think about though but I can see their upcoming ad campaign now.
What better spoiler than Sky Atlantic to trump VM for a potential new customer? It will be content this, content that and there is nothing VM, BT or anyone can do about it.

Why should virgin want to do anything the broadband is virgins trump product offering speeds at which skys eyes glaze over,i wonder though how many customers would be tempted by a channel many customers such as my parents who take vm did not even know about sky atlantic,and i am sure many people will not be that worried , sure content is a very powerful tool Virgin have it in the broadband and sky have it in the TV.
Funny though when sky wanted to launch its broadband there was something they could do about it ie get access to BT lines,seems funny how they are not so willing to share their own content though.
Where i live though sky tv is not an option.even if i wanted to change.
