On the face of it not bad.
We dumped Foxtel a few months ago as it was like $110 to get sport (need apl these other packages to access sport so fuck them). No rugby.
And it was that "cheap" because I was an existing customer.
Of I want to sign up and get sport it was $140.
If I want sport on Foxtel will sign up to Kayo if I feel the need.

@booboo The $42 is only the sports part of my subscription. It comes on top of the rest (including the compulsory starter package, without which you can't get the sports package). A total of $88 per month.
I cancelled my terrestrial sky a while ago when I was busy. I watched a game a weekend basically, and went to a game every second weekend. I loved footy, but justifying 20-40 dollars per game to watch got hard. Cheaper to go to the pub or a mates place!
That said, I did switch over to Fanpass, which became SkySportNow and is a solid product. Still not nearly as good as DAZN or other streaming services, but a step up on teh pile of steaming shit Sky used to serve.

To be fair to Sky their streaming service has improved considerably (I assume since they bought Spark sport and got their hands on their app).
I use a chromebox (don't know the exact name sorry!) but it basically does all the CPU processing so your smartTV doesn't have to which makes it all considerably faster and reliable. Cancelled the Sky box and bought the streaming service for a year which is about half the price.
This is about the cheapest sports watching option you can get I had a mate and did myself for awhile use Kayo (cheekily as were in NZ) but they lost the rugby to Stan which then means you have to but that as well so any cost benefits go out the window once you need to but two services instead of one.

Do they have trackside on that?

All pay TV services are regularly putting up prices. I believe Neon (owned by Sky) has recently done the same thing. Apple TV+ etc.
Whether the price is too expensive, or not, will depend on how much content you watch.
Yeah every single streamer I use has raised their prices in the last 12 months - luckily I don't pay for them all.

Thanks!
I can also get it going on the racing app as well, but I don't think this will work for my parents. They want to drop sky but need certain 'packs' to make things as simple as turning on the TV to watch.
For example, I ran Netflix to the TV with a google chromecast but they won't use it because they have to stream to it from the Netflix app on their iPad.
