Losing customers though and these rises are going to accelerate that.

People are more ready to switch or downgrade their services than they used to be. Sky are launching a new box, far more advanced than anything VM have to offer. They may be good for Broadband, but VM have failed to develop the TV service. My Sinclair ZX Spectrum is faster than Tivo...
A far more imaginative strategy would be to scrap line rental, and lay down the gauntlet to Sky/BT. Instead they're going for the trying to fleece the remaining customers. All they've offered lately are 'free' (ha ha !) BB speed upgrades, to speeds no ones got any use for anyway.
