I agree as the product offering should be an absolute killer - they now have the best TV and the best superfast internet. The only thing they can get wrong is price, especially considering their continuing problems with negative brand equity.

Although whingeing to the regulators to give them more Sky channels is a bit pathetic. They have an exclusive monopoly for cable in the UK, one day, when they are rolling in profit, Ofcom is going to expect some payback.
