I've got 6 months left on my Virgin Media contract. I've got XL TV, Internet and Phone with them and called them earlier about the BT Sport thing to be told that there's nothing they can do, they won't be changing the price of the XL package and to wait for an announcement. When asked about the cost he basically told me it will not be free like ESPN was and there will be a charge but he does not know how much yet.
They seem to be going down the route of "it was a free channel, therefore there's nothing we have to do" despite the fact it was clearly a very popular draw of their most expensive package. When pointed out that it wasn't a free add-on and was actually part of the package he disagreed, told me there's nothing else to discuss and hung up. Splendid.
Any ideas what I should do next? If it was going to be free like ESPN then I wouldn't mind, however I'm not really happy at the thought of having to pay. I would ring up and threaten to cancel, however, it'd cost £150 and I can't afford that.
