... saw this on DTG site:
"BSkyB is raising subscription rates for the second time this year as it tries to squeeze more revenue from customers and reach its target of £400-a-year average revenue per user.
The new charges, effective September 1, will add £1 a month on top-tier packages and 50p on cheaper subscriptions, raising an estimated £50m a year as the satellite broadcaster prepares to launch its 'freesat' service in competition with the Freeview digital terrestrial service.
The company said that some customers on cheaper packages would pay only 50p more per month, while those on its most basic package would pay nothing extra. He added that the broadcaster would not increase prices again in January, but did not rule out further increases later next year."
So with another increase on DSAT how long will NTL hold out until they have to bump up our bills?? $ky obviously want to pay for the "freesat" rip-off! Will NTL give us some bull story about improvements etc etc??:Yikes:
