I caught the tail end of a discussion on R5 about this, all i caught was the 15% churn rate over the last year.
That's pretty big, anyone know what skys churn rate is?

They put it down to better offers from competitors/Netflix/Amazon , i expected them to mention pirate streams as it's all over the papers but they didn't.
Sorry about that John but sadly from time to time my brain goes haywire and l end up doing totally the wrong thing.

Yes the churn is certainly higher then it has been for a while and perhaps they will think a bit more before they impose well over inflation busting price rises next time on Virgin customers.
