Sky's results come out on Friday and will provide some useful market context.

For what they offer in many fields Virgin's prices are already rock bottom in many different things.
Sorry but the broadband has enough restrictions without them dropping the prices even more to satisfy people who want high end products for pennies and ramping the contention ratios up yet further.
I'd actually far rather they increase the price of the broadband service along with improve its quality
The phone service prices are a bit excessive, TV I've no issue on, broadband service really doesn't need any more price reductions per Mbps. Already the capacity planning causes complaints.
Berkett himself said they don't want unprofitable business, I entirely agree. There is no point in chasing customers who don't want to spend with you, I'm hoping that Berkett / VM finally get this after years of cable in the UK throwing discounts at people like sweets to prevent churn. It's not fair on Joe Average for Money Saving Expert readers to blag their way to lower prices while they continue to pay full whack and cross-subsidise.
