I don't understand why, if the idea is to stimulate interest in the Sky Sports channels, it isn't on VM to do exactly the same job.

I used to watch how Sky was developing its product with keen interest, figuring that if it moved ahead of cable, I would happily switch to Sky. But now, I am disinclined to make such a step because I am so annoyed at the disdain they show for their customers.
It's not only their non satellite subscribers, either. They make it as awkward as they possibly can for people to cancel their Sky subscriptions, for example.
Sky think they are being clever, but I reckon they are shooting themselves in the foot. They could attract so many more customers and make more money still if they treated us all with respect.
Even if I had a bargepole, I wouldn't touch Sky with it if I had the choice at the moment.

I couldn't agree more. Sky will never get another penny out of me and I will continue to bar them from any properties that I have control of.

You are free to leave at anytime from any company once you fulfill your contract no-one is preventing anyone from leaving, all SKY and VM are doing is trying to retain customers and throwing in sweetners such as discounts.

But they take it to a whole new level... I'd love to see this vile, disgusting company go bust after investing so much, then watch someone pick up the assets for a song.
If IPTV really takes off, as is predicted by many, we may well see this happen...
