Re: Price increase XL
It's Sky Sports that is going up by £1.50, not TV XL

Don't think so because sky sports is inclusive.

You're on vip, not xl. Xl doesn't include Sky Sports.

You do realise Sky set the wholesale prices right? I really hope BT sports takes of and greedy Sky get the kicking they deserve.

Given that Small World are offering Sky Sports at a loss to compensate for the loss of ESPN, I think it's fair to say that Virgin probably have some control over what they pass on to customers. In addition, it was Bt who pushed the price of Premier League football up. Had Sky not beaten them in that auction we wouldn't have ended up with Bt Sport in the xl package.

It's the whole stupid system, motivated by greed, that put the price up.
