I am happy to be proved wrong on this thought, but I fail to see why VM should take a loss to offer us something they probably need to pay for.

VM need to offer the best value to all its customers (not just Xl) and it is doing great things with the lower packages. I guess they just can't afford to give us anything with the current prices.

Not trying to picky (he says failing horribly), just trying to understand your thought process on this matter.
An interesting thought Harry.

IIRC, didn't the Sky HD charge go up to about £10.50ish?? Also, I think that those who want HD, but don't take the premiums, can now have the basic channels in HD for £5.25??
