Would Virgin Media have to replicate such packages to their customers, or could they bundle them all together in one package at an extortionate rate?
I would imagine that Sky will sell the Sports channels to Virgin Media at the 'negotiated' price, and then Virgin would be able to package them as they thought fit.

There's no sign of such a development to date.

Re: SKY Sports and BT Sport price drop

European countries have done the split thing for quite a while. This is Movistar's offering in Spain:
http://www.movistar.es/particulares/...rosProductos-2

Through Movistar I currently get basic TV package, 50MB Internet (guaranteed speed up and down), landline with free national calls, and TWO mobiles with combined 4GB data and 200 min calls all for €25 per month. I could have had 300MB (same speed up and down) for €31 no point as 50MB was ample for our needs. It was an offer when I signed up - the same offer at the moment is €55 (about £47) which is still fantastic compared to UK but they do put deals on every now and then at cheaper prices.

Worth adding that the contract is only for 3 months and when you have disconnected you can re-sign to the latest offer (you have to have disconnected though). The modem they supply is like a brick though!

The above is a good example of how much we are getting well and truly ripped off here in the UK.

Or is a good example of how badly the Spanish economy is performing (if you're a "brexiteer").

You can get similar value in the UK market if you shop around, or go with a bundled deal at the best rates from one supplier when you are a new customer for all the services.

Prices would be cheaper in £ if it wasn't for Brexit

The prices haven't changed much over the years, they've always been high, nothing to do with Brexit.
