I don't see it as a price rise, as im receiving more for my money. Although I would have rather had seen it as an optional extra rather than compulsory.
If someone told me my sky sports package was to rise by £3 to fund the F1 channel (for example) I wouldnt be so happy.
I'm still in two minds. I watch quite a lot of non-football stuff (premiership rugby mainly) on the existing BT Sports channels, and that's nice to have in XL. But I have less than zero time for football.

So... on the one hand I really begrudge the £3 football charge now imposed, or is it that it's now a £3 charge for "football and rugby channels" that were previously free.

My broadband & TV is well out of contract, and a previous 18month discount ran out fairly recently. Phone has 5 months of rental saver yet to run...I really don't see cancellation or downgrade from XL viable for various reasons. TiVo convert, watch and record a lot of XL-only channels, poor BT broadband in my area....
