I think this could prove to be a game changer in the long run and the start of a whole new era of competition for VM and BT.

I'm no broadband expert but surely fibre delivered right to your door is going to be able to deliver superior speeds , just look at what Google fibre can deliver.

Where did i suggest one offers greater service than the other? Ofcourse fibre optic to the door can offer much greater speeds, i think about 3gbs? not sure about that though. Either way we are a very long way from such speeds.
End of the day companies will continue to upgrade their networks but at what cost?

So what's happening with sky sport news, would be odd having all the other channels in HD and not the news channel?

I don't think so, as far as I'm aware it only has a few thousand people on its broadband restricted to some high rise developments. Good move for Sky and exactly the kind of thing that VM should be doing were it not for its "not on our network so not interested" philosophy.

It may not.

Sky Sports News is part of the Sky Basic Channels.

But Sky Sports News HD and Sky News HD is broadcasting in UPC Ireland areas so you ever know.

In fairness there are plenty of relatively new developments where satellite dishes aren't allowed above a certain height and Virgin have installed fibre during the building phase. Frankly it's a wonder it's taken Sky so long to come up with a possible solution.

Media Boy Views: What may happen this year on Virgin Media.

-Virgin Media deal with CSC Media is maybe up this year - last deal signed in March 2010.
-Due to Smallworld joining up with Virgin Media MB HQ think we may see more Sony Channels launching. With Virgin axing all the rest but keeping Sky1 +1 and MTV Channels (MTV +1 and MTV Classic).
