Or Virgin is charging you extra, because they know you likee lots |
It's a difficult one, that, because I'm paying Virgin a hell of a lot less than I used to pay Sky for a comparable package, and I've received a much better service to boot.
You will, of course, find Sky customers who have had the exact opposite experience and think they're better off where they.
So what I would say is this - it's useless to say one company is more expensive than the other when the truth is actually that if you sign a contract with either company for a 12 month period that means you have to pay the full headline price every month for the duration of that contract then actually you are an idiot. And you should also always consider the total price paid over the course of the contract, as opposed to the monthly amount, when comparing deals.

Do we
know this though? Are Sky actually charging Virgin more wholesale than they are charging their own subscribers retail?
Surely that cannot be the case?
