VM does not beat BT on fibre broadband qaulity. the speeds issue is balanced. VM lack capacity. BT lack the ability to hand all customers upto 76down/ upto 19up due to distance. as soon as BT FTTP is rolling out here, there and everywhere then there will be a real advantage for BT. Sky too I guess.

as for channels. BT have rights to broadcast the Prem which they will use to get Sky channels in exchange for BT sports. you could say Sky have a solid hand with BT needing to sell their sport channel(s) but make no mistake Sky needs BT Sports and BT needs Sky HD channels.

right now Sky have the upper hand in my opinion. channels plus fibre broadband. its just a shame Sky have the router issue where you cant properly use your own choice of router.
