I'm fairly happy overall though as we don't pay extra for HD unlike that other operator I can't bring myself to mention.
Technically you pay £50 for HD in the form of the HD Activation charge and if you have the sky premium HD channels thats another £7 a month.

So for one yea of the full HD line up with VM is £49.99 activation plus 12*£7 so £134 in total for 12 months. Sky is £10.25*12 months=£123 for a lot more HD channels.

Sky whoops VM for tv content but VM whoops sky for Broadband. I imagine it will be a lot cheaper for VM to bring its tv to be equal with sky than it will for sky to lay fibre to million of homes? Although i guess they will just resell bt fibre.
