Interesting but hardly surprising considering the current climate and that some of our largest business customers have recently gone into administration. Good news that churn in consumer is down which is also an indication that fixing the fundamentals is working.

But compare Sky to VM. They have been able to pesuade 1M of it customers to take up it's HD offering alone. I think VM need to catch up on their overall packages. Sky are showing how to offer bundled added value products that customers are prepared to pay for. 50M Broadband will not attract attract many customers on it's own, in the current climate people are looking for the best value bundled package including HD content. Freesat is having problems supplying the demand for their hd boxes. VM need to get their act together.
