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

@stargazer Let's hope NZ cricket is one of their goals.
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.

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.

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.

Sky Television could sell its loss-making RugbyPass rugby news site to World Rugby as part of negotiations with the rugby body, it is understood.
Sky announced on Monday evening that it was in “advanced discussions” with World Rugby over a wide-ranging deal that would see it secure the rights to screen World Rugby’s premium competitions, including the men’s 2023 Rugby World Cup, “over multiple years”.
Good, because Spark Sport is terrible.
Former chief executive Martin Stewart said in 2019 that the acquisition would let Sky “reach beyond New Zealand borders and open up significant opportunities for the company and its partners”.
But Sky wrote down the book value of goodwill in the business by $27.5m to $11m in the wake of the Covid pandemic and last year agreed to sell the streaming business of RugbyPass to Premier Sports for $813,000.Didn't know that.
RugbyPass still offers news, views and statistics about the game, including a system that ranks players and teams, with some of its content behind a paywall for which it charges subscribers US$1.99 month.
Their "news" is avarage, their stats are unreliable and their ranking system is a joke.

@Stargazer For a NZ “owned” business their “news” is pretty anti NZ a lot of the time.

@Nepia its the justin marshall approach, they feel the only way they'll be taken seriously is if they make it completely and painfully obviously they are not bias...to the point of becoming ludacris
also explains the waffling gibberish on the rare occurrence they do have to side with the AB's
