I've never met anyone paying >£100/mo for Sky. Is/was that a thing?

Sky don't show their prices on their website, but according to [1] the "Sky Complete bundle" costs £111/month. And Virgin Media have a £99/month bundle [2] (although admittedly it includes broadband and mobile phone)

It is - and it’s not so long ago that it was $2 to £1, so the requisite amount for a $170 cable bill in the heyday of US cable would have been ~£85.
