Allow me, as I was in the area:

As customers choose to take more products from us, ARPU has grown to a new high of £550.

Meanwhile, back on topic...
When Sky Digital started in 1998, the price for all the movie channels was £19.99 per month. If one subscribed to the Sky movie channels, the basics were thrown in for free.

When Sky Sports became a subscription channel, after the introductory offer
of £2.99 a month ended, this became £5.99.

Total: £25.98.

Adjusted for inflation, this figure becomes £39, yet the average ARPU is currently £45.83 per month.
