i am more bothered about the changes to XL from 1st august. We have already been told there is no price drop so i shall wait to see how VM plan to "maintain XL's excellent value for money" with no ESPN. If that BT sports well great ...if not we'll see what other potential channels VM add.
i am sure a lot of XL customers will also be seeing what happens. i would suggest for a fair few having ESPN in the XL pack was a major reason they subscribed to XL.Not the only one of course- the HD and certain channels are also factors. I am sure VM will be aware they need to do something or they risk losing a number of punters either altogether or some may downgrade their service. Either way thats a loss of revenue.
doing 'nothing' would not really appear to be an option. I know we have had a couple of new channel & HD channel launches recently. Not enough though to maintain its value imo

A colleague who has Virgin (as opposed to the virgin colleague, who is different person altogether) has said that if they don't get BT sport, they will downscale, as that is all he is interested in.
So cityfan is likely right, quite a few will downgrade.
