When Sky roll out fibre, I think VM need to worry because I think many people stay with VM for the fast reliable BB, even though the better TV selection on Sky is tempting. When Sky roll out fibre, that won't be the case.

For me, Sky would have to have a box like Tivo to tempt me; three tuners and whishlists being something I would hate to live without now.

There is also the very good reliability and great service I get from VM that I would prefer not to take a chance on with Sky; I've never used Sky so can't compare, but I know I'm happy with VM in that regard.

But these things won't be enough for some people to stay with VM, so when Sky get fibre, VM need to get definitive USPs. This is why I find it strange that VM aren't getting a move on with multiroom and more Tivo apps, because Sky will soon be a very credible alternative for many VM users IMHO.
