This report contains information that the fallout over the way the whole thing was handled is not over yet as far as some customers are concerned:

Do you really think that the carriage costs which work out at pennies per week per subscriber per channel for three weeks will cover the extra discounts given out (for a decent amount and indefinitely in some cases)? Come on now.

The actual affect of the dispute won't be known until the figures are released, so don't try and pretend otherwise.

You keep saying this, but you aren't obliged to read or contribute to any thread you don't want to you know!


I think that it's interesting to analysis the continuing affects of the situation, hopefully VM will be doing the same thing and might learn something about customer care and retention.
Not worth the hassle I'd get.
