Good point i believe VM did at one point have a deal in place where SKY used vms network for something, but now with Gfast rolling out would SKY really need vms network anymore?
Maybe the kicker in the long term with the deal between SKY and BT is that it opens the gates for SKY to use BTs gfast network, yes the lines are owned by openreach but BT are rolling out Gfast now.
Or maybe VM and SKY are in talks as we speak trying to get a deal sorted.

VM just increase prices and shrug their shoulders. There is literally no long term plan whatsoever for VM other than

"Giles!!! make money quick before we dump this stock!"
Tbf i find this a bit harsh, VM have been expanding their network so they are investing in their network, they are getting some exclusive content but only scraps what no-one else wants but it's a start.
I hope Den was sitting down reading this as me actually giving VM some credit might shock him lol.
