Or is it going to be a spreadsheet exercise then you are on your own?

How many people are going to be disappointed, or have to pay a price premium to upgrade their broadband when Sky could/should have just gave them a dish?

How many people are going to be disappointed their broadband becomes virtually unusable as the Sky Q hogs the majority of their bandwidth.

It’s a huge reputational risk to try to deliver this and fail. The question remains if it’s that easy why are Sky, with their shareholder obligations, not doing it?
