I found it strange they offered a package including just SKY Sports 1 & 2 when this isn't something they appear to currently offer via their website. ---------- Post added at 20:02 ---------- Previous post was at 19:57 ---------- Quote:
I switched to SKY for 50% off. My deal runs out in December. I did notice recently that Virgin had a 1 week special being 50% off for all new customers for 12 months. Through my work, Virgin are offering 9 months for half price plus £50.00 off my first bill. I've still got both my V+HD box and my TiVo box. I tried to return them at my local parcel collection point but their scanner didn't recognise the bar code. I called Virgin 3 times to arrange uplift without success. I did get a visit from a field agent but I was out. I called his mobile a few times and left messages but never heard back from him. If I go back to Virgin I've still got my viewing cards, all the cables, my broadband hub and boxes. I could be up and running again within a phone call. |

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...52651&page=182 2 things that are clear from reading hundreds of posts. SKY seem to give people outrageous discounts to stop them from leaving SKY. Virgin on the other hand either offer TiVo to people for free or try to get people to downsize their package, rather than offer discounts that customers are looking for. |

It encourages people to just phone back when the 50% runs out, even if it's not the end of the agreed deal/contract. So it doesn't actually solve anything from a business point of view - which is to build a steady income base from your customers |

Well I wouldn't be a virginmedia customer if wasn't for the 12 months half price offer. So what's better? 50% of something and a new customer, or 50% of nothing? Lets face it, the cable is at my property anyway, why not offer me 50% off and get some income from it? I've also upgraded to 100Mb for VM now get in excess of £40 a month me. |

However long term it's not sustainable, as there will be an element of running the account below cost to bring in connections. |

There must be a worthwhile profit margin in it for SKY or they wouldn’t be pushing these types of rebates. It’s not like SKY are not turning over massive profits. Remember only a month or so ago Virgin, for 1 week only, where offering a 50% rebate for a full 12 months for all new customers. This shows me the likes of SKY and Virgin are ripping people off left right and centre if they can afford to give people 50% rebates for 12 months. Maybe both companies should stop offering rebates, and retention deals, and just lower package prices for everyone across the board? |
Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Don't forget Sky own their sports and movies and a lot of channels and content, plus a triple play sky customer with the full package and 50% off is still paying above sky's target ARPU.
To many low tier customers on half price could lower the ARPU, that would rattle share holders. That's when it becomes counter productive. |

I would have thought BT would have liked a piece of this action. Looks like SKY and ITV have international football all wrapped up. SKY having access to up to 500 international matches over 3 years plus 20 non-home games on ITV4. Do you think SKY will start offering international games tucked away on the red button, similar to Champions League nights? It's the only way I can see them getting through up to 500 games in 3 years. It doesn't matter how BT try to sell their offering, SKY Sports is the clear leader if you want to watch football at every level. |
