The other interesting numbers I saw today is that Netflix sp is trading on a 90 x forward earnings. Sky’s is only 3
My contract with Stuff Fibre expires in May, I'll 100% be moving over to Sky broadband. Be interesting what numbers they pull in during their first year of operation. People always says the margins are slim with broadband, but Sky already has a large customer base it can already tap into, mix this in with some revised packages and we have a winner.
Just out of curiosity why will you be moving to Sky Broadband? I am currently with Vodafone, and although I do not like their customer service, their broadband works very well for me. I am also a SKY shareholder but I do not have the urge to move at this point in time. Is Stuff Fibre not up to scratch or are you moving because you may get some package deals?
I have no problems with Stuff Fibre, heck best provider I have been with so far and highly recommend, but I also want to say the same for Sky broadband and obviously also being invested with them. Keep in mind that I naturally do change providers every year as usually they have sign up rewards for new customers etc.
Packages would only be a bonus such as free Neon.
I don't think many people will move over to Sky Broadband unless the packages are compelling. Especially if you are happy with the performance of your current provider (no outages etc).
I was chatting to my mom on the weekend - my parents are long time Sky TV customers (20 years +). Her fibre is with Spark. I casually mentioned that Sky are probably going to contact her early next year with some attractive packages that includes internet.
Her answer was a flat no: Spark do a great job for her internet and she wouldn't want to switch.
Of course, if Sky make an offer she can't refuse then her stance might change - but her initial reaction was 'no'.
I fully expect Sky Broadband will be successful over time - but they need to prove that their service is reliable, fast...and that the bundles are worthwhile in terms of savings.
I will move over to sky broadband if and when its offered.I have a vested interest in their success and would think it counterintuitive not to.Some people seem to want their cake and eat it to
Definitely see your point, my parents are probably the same, but I think there is a large part of society that are keen to save some $$ and will happily change providers if they can.
I think it will be quite different. Look at the growth Contact has had with their broadband offering. Up to 30k subs last time (from memory) in ~2 years and starting from a much smaller customer base than Sky will be. Contact has shown it is a great play for a big player with a large customer base. It will be whether Sky can implement it competently.

I would be in the same boat as your parents. My main email is also with spark (@xtra.co.nz) - Never got into a web based email in the distance past and makes it pain now to move emails for everything I am subscribed to, though I suppose would get rid of some I don't particularly want :-)- so it makes it hard to change. Would have to be quite compelling. From what I have seen some of the packages are good even without broadband, so no great need to change for sake of $5-10.
Anyone know if you can keep the email with spark if nothing else with them- well still may have a prepaid mobile - 3 phones and a landline at present, but thinking about ditching the latter as most calls are just someone selling something, wanting donations or scams
Meant to add, as others have said, would wait a while in any event to see how it goes
OK, fess up, which one of you losers wrote this?...

The initial plan is to go after the satellite subs. There are over half a million of them, and they need more rewards. Most of these customers have been incredibly loyal to Sky over many years.
But then there are the many possibilities to include Broadband and streaming packages for brand new customers.
Broadband with 'free' NEON, Broadband + Sky Sport NOW, Broadband + Sky GO for those who still like the wider entertainment Sky offer.
There will be no other Broadband provider who can offer anything close to what Sky can in terms of fast internet and entertainment bundles.
As has been noted by some other posters, we just need to wait and see how well the roll out is executed. I think Martin and the team are going to do very very well on this - there has been a huge amount of customer research.
