Are you talking about the same BT and Sky the rest of us are?

Sky and BT both have near 100% coverage of the population, a lot greater coverage than the combined cable companies.

Sky also have access to an awful lot of facilities and money, through their parent corporation, News Corp (which also owns various media companies all over the world, including Fox in the USA). News Corp has shown it is willing to take massive losses from a subsidiary just to get it's name established in that area.

I personally think Cable needs all the help it can get to compete against them.
