Nothing wrong with getting a good deal, seems good way to do business to me.
You have a choice of providers if VM doesn't suit you  |
If that is the case (the £1 point) then as ever I am happy to admit I am wrong, especially when so many people at least on here seem to prefer ESPN. I guess it might well be time for me to change provider, or at least bite the bullet and drop to M+ and (very, very reluctantly) pay extra for Sky if I want a wider choice of basic HD which is fair enough I suppose, I have always said if you want something you have to pay.
The chap from the CEO's office couldn't have been any clearer regarding the prohibitive expense of HD channels given their own pricing model regardless of what is rumoured on here.
I would say that I am not sure how VM arrive at the stand alone prices if ESPN only accounts for £1 of XL including ESPNA and ESPN HD but with the greatest of respect I would question that anyway. 23 Premier League matches alone must surely cost more than £12 a year let alone all the Scottish Premier League, FA Cup, Guinness Premiership etc. On the other side of the coin all that included shows how good value XL is if you actually want ESPN but I fancy it costs more than £1, I really do.
One thing I will say, in my opinion Mr Berkett's claim of 80 HD channel in 3 years (now actually 2 years 9 months) seems even more ambitious than I first thought.
