A couple of thousand VM subscribers may well pay for Now TV in order to access Sky Atlantic but it's not a significant number.

Force it to use 5Ghz, mine always seemed to want to use 2.4GHz WiFi. I never had an issue once I did this

Mine is a Sony - and I just realised I made a mistake in telling you I was getting Now TV on it - in fact I'm getting Now TV through the Roku, which is being delivered tomorrow!

There won't be a definitive number as people dip in and out depending on what's showing on Atlantic. I signed up for Game of Thrones and Mad Men, but was going to let it lapse. But when I went to cancelled they offered me four months for half price, so I signed up again for The Affair and True Detective this summer. I would imagine many VM customers, possibly thousands, do similar.

I do the same, but for the film channels. Every time I cancel, they give me a super offer to stay

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)

Frankly laughable he condemns Sky for it's pricing and reluctance to wholesale however Sky customers wanting BT Sport without BT Broadband have seen the price of SD increase to a whopping £19.99 or £23.99 in HD. They also don't wholesale to anyone other than VM.

Sky have responded to BT's claims , not sure about some of their claims huge discounts could be the reason people stay with their current provider however I agree about the 48% increase very hypocritical in my opinion.

Quote:
Sky said: "The reality is that, in a competitive market, customers are choosing Sky in greater numbers and staying with us for longer because of the quality and value that we offer,”

“It is strange to hear BT talk about high prices when they are about to increase the price of BT Sport for Sky TV customers by 48pc.This looks like an attempt to deflect attention from the real problems that exist in broadband, where consumers are suffering because of BT’s under-investment and there is concern about competition in the future."

Well, frankly, I don't condone such practices, whoever does it. Where are you coming from?

Thanks, theone! I'm not cutting the cord just yet, but getting the best of all worlds.

However, I'm starting to think that I'm edging towards it.

Did you not read my post properly I wasn't condoning anything , my point was it's hypocritical of BT to lambast Sky for overcharging when it's increased the price of BT Sport for Sky customers without BT Broadband by 48%.

Is that not a valid point.
