aye yeah i thought that myself. it was a bit naughty that deal! worked well for us but i wonder how long the contracts had been signed/sealed for.

if vm had said

"look we can sign at this lesser amount for 3 years on condition we announce it the day before the EPL season starts"

Little BT would have thought they could have got a massive amount of new subscribers. VM would have known they'd have got a great deal. worked well for all.

I wonder if sky and Vm would ever do that...
