Six years with Spark, I believe starting 2020/21 season

Might get back to bite David White in the bum if Spark Sport folds before the contract period expires and the NZCC has to pay Sky to have their cricket televised.

They are now $19.17 worse off from me.
+$3 for sport and -$22.17 for entertainment that I would have otherwise kept if they hadn't increased sport
clever. Save the $20 that you will have use to pay for more streaming services when Sky's revenue drops to the point they get outbid for stuff you want.

58 mins into the queue. I am now 3rd and I started at 78th
Amazing things these telephones. Next we'll have computers where you can bypass waiting/talking and just click a box for what you want to do.
You can add a service online with sky, but I'm not sure you can cancel it...

Fair call if that’s the case.
I do Sky through Voda TV and you can add/drop at will through the website -

Yeah you can't, they make it as hard as possible to cancel anything with them. It's such a badly run company, I'm surprised it's still afloat. I guess these price hikes will keep them going a little longer in the face of waning subscriptions. Genuis stuff.

It's the same over here. Can add on the internet, remove only on phone. And if you want to get a good deal, you have to lose your complete shit at them so they divert your call from the India office to Scotland. Frustrating way of doing business, but that's their model I guess.
Happy they got premier league back for next season.
Not accepting the small price rise though so will drop entertainment package as a small fuck you to them
3 NZD a month to get EPL is pretty good value.

You can, but it’s hard to find and is like an email. Takes a day or two.
I’ve not called them to cancel anything for ten years.

Yes it is if they decreased sport cost when they lost PL and Cricket? To me they are getting back to what they had. It isn't an improvement.

Care factor zero. If thats the way they want to run their business, I will adapt to other mediums

I doubt any of the platforms decrease their subs if they lose content. Do you think Spark will now they have lost the EPL rights?
My biggest problem with Sky is that they have never unbundled their packages so we have plans allowing you to only pay for the channels you want to watch. There are plenty of channels I have never watched, and never will. I'm sure they have done the sums and know this option will decrease revenue.

Of course they don't. Doesn't mean I need to happily oblige to pay more for a service that isn't as good as it used to be.
As I said, it was a small Fuck You to them, from me.
