    I came home from work today and there was a leaflet in a nice clear plastic bag from sky, labelled sky bundles, so for a laugh I read it and the top bundle which they called the complete bundle is £67 a month. who in there right mind pay that amount for Tv, certainly when a lot of it on sky is repeats and garbage.

    BT results show they now have 2.5m BT Sport retail customers (not including those getting it with VM).

    They had 150,000 broadband net adds versus 110,000 Sky adds. BT say the whole broadband market grew by 252,000.

    BT TV added 53,000 customers - more than double the 2012 figure for the quarter.

    There were 228,000 retail fibre net additions taking the base to 1.9m.

    All the financial figures and more here,

    Edit: the reason those broadband figures don't add up is that Sky's figure includes the Republic of Ireland, which probably accounted for around 10k. Obviously makes Sky's UK figure a little bit less impressive. BT say they had 60% of the net adds in the broadband market - battle between Sky and BT certainly seems to be squeezing other providers in terms of winning new broadband customers.
