I think the business model for TV subscription services is poor generally. They say it's all about the choice. Well no it's not. I want to be able to watch say one channel that happens to fall in the XL TV pack and they make you pay for the entire pack. What justification for price rises do they have other than "just because"? Yes the economoy is still bad. None of us are getting pay rises to keep up.

In the case of TV/Net/Phone, it's hard to actually go elsewhere though. I mean really it's Sky vs Virgin in terms of 3 play all in one package, and they both keep rising prices together. We have to keep taking and taking the shafting from them, or don't have TV, Broadband, Phone basically.
