The mthly charge isn't changing, as far as I'm aware

And getting it cheaper by paying in advance, isn't offered by others

<off topic> No wrangling just only available by calling Sky instead of online like everything else.

As muppetman said it's £119.40. Realistically I would it expect this to be going up on Sky soon too. Probably around September with the other price rises to do with the new sports (football) deal starting then.

It's been £119.40 for more than a year and survived the normal line rental going up in September 2012 (new customers) / December 2012 (existing customers).

<on topic> IMHO, without a BT sports deal and with better broadband (truly uncapped fibre) then Sky may be a bit more bullish and less concerned about Virgin in coming months.

BT have stated they see no need to "wholesale" their sports package so they will be looking for full retail value on this from Virgin.
So Virgin need to decide do they sell it with no profit, sell it at a loss to remain competitive or sell it at a premium to get a profit margin on it.
