Agree and thats going to get worse once BT and Sky start passing on the extra cost of football, VM will suffer too as they will have wholesale costs.

The thing that always cheeses me off is that if you move your business you will no doubt get a new customer deal from a competing company, why they do this I will never know as its the existing customers who cover the cost of this?

Its a very odd business model.

The other thing I have noticed , once one puts its charges up the others follow suit. A good example is VM, not long ago they were the most expensive for line rental, after all the price rises from BT, Sky and Talk Talk, they are now the cheapest - so what do they do - they increase their prices to be on a par with the others.

They must all rub their hands with glee one one makes a move!
