It is probably more to do with new customers choosing which provider to go with. Sky is using Atlantic as a selling point, rather than to keep customers from leaving.
I seem to recall some posting something about the whole advertising revenue malarky, may have imagined it though and happy to be proved wrong. If VM got Atlantic whilst they were still giving BT Sports as part of XL and launched a 50% off the XL package, I imagine a lot of families with very little expendable cash would happily take a cheaper deal from VM if offered. I may be wrong, but in my eyes VM with SA is a much better whole package than Sky. Each to their own though, I know my brother had an awful time with VM and refuses to go back.
