I personally don't want more sport for my money, in fact I don't want any sport! My guess is I'm in the majority.

I guess Virgin is in a a different situation where ESPN is marketed as included with XL (without looking at how Smallworld does do their packages) so the loss of BT is more felt within the Virgin hub of packages as for those who have benefited by its inclusion whereas Smallworld consumers have always had to "opt in and pay" so to speak
I know we have speculated on whether SA could be a substitute for loss of ESPN (for better or worse for some) but again he mentions BT in the same breath as SA "exclusive" so if there has been some movement providing SA to virgin customers it hasnt been felt down to the smaller players yet (lets not forget that Virgin isnt the only Cable operator in the UK albeit it is the largest).
