How are ""Sports fans the winners today." when the price of watching football and rugby has just increased by 50% ?

Absolutely ! Its a sad day for sports fans unless you have bottomless pockets. Just have to see what VM do for its customers.

Has it?

If you pay for the internet already, you can get BT for free. How is that extra?

Well not on BT. They are clearly winners, I'm on about sky and virgin customers

-Have our bills for watching sports on tv decreased?
-Has the amount of sport we get for our money increased?

Saying "Sports fans are the winners today." is rubbish - Why would I go to BT where my BB connection would be 10 times slower? That's not winning. That's losing.

because most sports fans have sky with sky bb or have virgin. The only winners are people that couldn't afford sky sports or casual sport fans

That's not true.

Unless you have basic broadband on Sky for free, then you will pay £2 extra than ESPN was.

I have Virgin of course, TV, BB and phone. It will now be cheaper to get BT internet and BT Sport with Sky TV than at the moment, by £15 per month.

so what you say is incorrect.
