It's the inconsistency which is the irritation.
Other than that I'm fine with Sky being pulled up for overcharging, don't misunderstand me, Sky are at heart a brutal, soul-less money-making machine, same as pretty much every other company of any size 
EDIT: With this in mind I've asked my MP about the situation although this whole thing is a bit of a sore point with him I suspect |
Sky 10 million TV customers, Virgin Media less than 4 million, factor in other Pay TV suppliers and how does Vitgin supply half ?
As to BB according to
http://www.ispreview.co.uk/review/top10.php the numbers are
BT Retail (PlusNet, Brightview) 5,529,000
Virgin Media 4,242,900
TalkTalk Group (AOL, Opal, Tiscali) 4,224,000
Sky Broadband (BSkyB) 3,006,000
Orange (Everything Everywhere) 795,000
O2 (BE Broadband) 663,800
Once again hardly half...........
