On a side note (to all posters) - if VM, are seemingly happy to charge XL custmers an extra £3 for BT Europe, and IIRC £2 for BT Sport 1+2, I wonder why they do not get now SA. Surely Sky can not be asking for more than £3/£5 per customer? I know BT sports are a unique selling point, but Atlantic would probably please more people and entice more people over to the good side (even though I am still not overly impressed with SA.)
id imagine its a marketing issue with vm trying to brag about having all the sports. its a different advertisement campaign really. if you want atlantic you could get sky. if you want all the sport in one package its vm. its a unique selling point. not that im agreeing with their strategy!
