Am I the only one NOT wanting a price war here? In the last few years prices have been tumbling, and with it, service is going with it, Sky are sinking a lot of money into this, as are CarphoneWarehouse and France Telecom, they will want a return from it, in the end, we, the customer, will pay for this price war, in one way or another.

I hope if ntl choose to act, I hope its not a knee-jerk reaction, and is something measured and affordable to the company, if not, I see service going downhill, and after 3 years of excellent service, I dont want to see it go tits-up just to pay a few less pennies every month.

Anyway, good luck to Sky, but Ill give this a miss for the moment, if reports come back positively, I may enquire, though, (Which, is unlike what I've heard about TalkTalk "Free" broadband, I wanted to sign up, had a 3 month lead time, then I heard some horror stories, no thanks :/).
