my bill went up 3 quid a few months back and i got sod all. there seemed less anger back then though?? now people are being told the same price hike they seem more angry "i dont want football!" at least we're getting to see something additional rather than "soz lads ur bills up 3 quid......lol"
still think vm are increasing profit lines for a sell. vodafone latest rumour.

The people who don't like football have another price rise they do not want, though. People generally expect and except annual prices to cover running costs, but BT Sports Europe is not running costs. It is a premium channel which non VM/BT customers have to pay for themselves. BT and VM have colluded to fleece non sports of extra money via BT BB or VM's xl package.
Non sports fans don't have anything additional to see as they simply don't want to watch sports.
Their individual views count because they all work hard, are being ripped off and have no say in the matter over additional premium content they don't want.
Ultimately, if it were not for this deal, non sports fans would be £3 a month better off and sports fans would have to pay extra to watch the premium content. Whether you agree or not, the deal really is not fair on non sports fans.
