As the deal that put ESPN into the XLtv pack runs out in 2013 what will VM do if they can't negotiate a new deal?

Would you still be happy to pay the current fee for XL or would you expect a reduction in the current fee? Maybe of £5 per month?

If ESPN stays in the XL pack there will definitely be a large £3+ increase in the monthly from April 2013 if they ESPN have won some EPL packages today I would expect. An as we know Virginmedia are not afraid of package increase hitting £5-£6 a month.
