Why SKY is going to lose millions more customers.

[Rob11]

The short answer is greed. from them and habit from niaive customers with more money than sense!  But apart from SKY being reliant on their Basic package to gat Sports to lock people into onerous contracts, many have bitten the bullet and left SKY never to return. Why is SKY so expensive?  because it believes mistakenly that it offers something better than the rest,  that may have been correct ten years ago but no more.  Forgetting Sports for a minute, SKY's other channels are no better than Netflix, Paramount, Apple or the free excellent ITVx.

I left Sky over a year ago. they had become just like the USA whose big Corp knows best attitude is the American way. As far as I care now, I don't need Sports,  can get it all mwithout bpaying SKY £20 plus a month on top of their lock in SKY plans.  Leaving SKY has enriched my bank balance by way over £500 a year,  that's good in 2024/5........Bye bye SKY, nice knowing I will never have to deal with you again. Happy 2025!

Because they have large expenses.

Although, having announced a loss of £224m I doubt it's going to get cheaper...

Peacock lost the NBCU division a couple of billion dollars over the same period, which Comcast seems pretty sanguine about.

I have just done the same having been with them ages.  So pushy trying to get me to stay. Can't wait to give the box back, and a healthier bank balance.
