    Good question mate. I'm wondering if they will become available once N3 is rolled out... or perhaps Sky will keep em to give themselves the edge?!

    Anyone know?

        Only way is if Ofcom force sky to wholesale them, pretty sure ofcom was looking into the matter recently.

          What usually happens with sky and ofcom is that ofcom will try to force sky to do something, the last incident was that ofcom ordered sky to reduce their prices, sky then contest it and it goes to a tribunal, and as we all know this could take years.....yet again sky win end of....

            Think with the last one Sky backed down (partially) in the end so cheaper wholesale costs are coming.

              that makes you laugh. "we are in the interst of uk consumers". i hope these prices will come in for the new season, i rang vermin media yesterday to ask about this free box offer, to have tv xl and sky sports, wiv lowest broadband and phone option, ?67 A MONTH!! thats doesnt even inlcude sky movies or sky sports hd obviosly, quite a steep price, my mate has got sky+ hd with all channel and espn and still only pays 60,

                Maza take the sky offer mate - vm will never give you an offer like this. you are under no obligation after the year. that also gives you 12 months to see what develops under cable.
