I think, tbh, that Sky will move towards offering the same deals on "winback" as they offer to new customers, ie top discount of 25% off with a new box on 12 month contract or without the new box without a contract.

Lot's of new customers are joining without discounts on tv so this will be the eventual goal.

Historically Virgin didn't discount and lead on the benefits of faster broadband.

Sky are hoping that if they reduce discounts that the market will reciprocate.
