Yeah, very little... Only a good cut of a several million XL/VIP subscriptions.

Simple maths, say for example receiving £7 per month per XL/VIP sub, of which there about probably at least 1.6 million out of the 3.2m customers is considerably greater than 20,000-30,000 separate subs of £12-£15. BT will make far more money from it being in a collection than sold separate. Don't see what people aren't understanding about this?

Only 23,000 have signed up via Sky (without being BT BB users), so even that estimate of Virgin subscribers is large at this point. Could change as the season draws closers but I doubt more than 30k people would subscribe on Virgin.
