Personally I was never worried about the situation regarding Sky until the Sky basics dipute. Before that I used to swap regularly between platforms and liked having the choice. After that I could see the way the wind was blowing and that one platform had become too powerful and that with Murdoch's political influence nobody would do anything about it.
I think us VM customers have every right to criticise Sky especially when they use there far greater content buying power to try and force people to their platform.
I also think that VM customers should criticise VM especially when they give the impression that something is coming soon and doesn't arrive. Quite honestly I have very little to criticise them for personally. They give me what I want for a reasonable price.
Sorry if this is a bit personal but I wonder if you are as unbiased as you say. I will admit I am biased against Sky for the reasons stated.

You are free to hold that opinion but if you read through my posts on here, DS and the VM forums on a number of subjects you may not have come to that conclusion but to be frank i'm not mindful to convince you as it is just that, an opinion.
I do think that a lot of VM customers should look a bit closer to home before slating other platforms and programme providers though as that is who you are paying your hard earned money to, but that is just my opinion.
