You cannot polish a turd, they had a net loss of 223,000 customers in 3 months as I read it.

The churn rate is much more than unhealthy, it is the stuff on bankruptcy when you only have just over 2 million customers to start with, they lost 131,000 in the same quarter a year before so the churn is getting far, far worse.

They have lost well over 20% of their total customer base in a year, it's staggering.

There must be a reason for it, I would imagine the same reasons will apply here.

Until it is the de facto platform here I sadly think it will struggle but genuinely hope I am totally wrong.

I also hope they win their cases if they are justified thugh, the last thing Sky's competitors needs is another dead duck.
