Fair point well made. But it certainly doesn't go hand-in-hand with "excellent customer service" from where I'm standing. Mind, there's only a couple of British firms that (in personal experience) consistently do that.

Indeed so, and from a business perspective they should be competitive but profitable..

Fair point, and it really wouldn't surprise me. But then I'd expect that to only apply to Sky-branded channels if so. It sounds from some other posts that VM are applying this even to phone-changes. That's got nothing to do with Sky.
