And that content is what? Fuck all?
I've always been disappointed how little they put up, and cancelled my sub because of it. I'd watch old games if they put them up, for example.

Cancelled your sky sub or just your sub to the rugby channel?

That makes sense. I do wonder how long Sky has got. They seem to be moving too slow. When they announced the above, I wasn't even the slightest excited about it. Basically they are closing all their failing platforms and saying they are given us extra

If you want to watch the RWC pool games live you will have to either pay a subscription or take out a new contract with Spark. I just checked my eligibility and it turns out that although I am part way through a contract I’ll need to renew for another 12 months if I want to get free access. Which is a bit hard to stomach given I’m paying them nearly 330 bucks a month.
I’ll see if I can negotiate something and let the Fern know if it works.

That's great business but also disgusting

Jaysus, are you getting escort services laid on as well as broadband?
remember - it only costs 80 bucks for all the games; sounds like you could be better off with an alternative provider and just pay for spark RWC directly.

$60 if you got in on the early bird offer. I'm still waiting for their ATV app so haven't bothered checking it out yet.
I get the impression that the uptake of Spark Sport hasn't been what they expected as they are offering a free subscription for new Spark users. The Com Com should be all over this after Spark's complaints about the Sky-Vodafone merger.

I know I could likely find this on thier website, but when I was looking at the RWC packages last night, it said 'compatible devices' or something...
So does that mean I cant watch on my laptop and stream to my TV via HDMI?
I know it might be way back in this thread people said there are ways the software can restrict iPads, Phones etc from streaming, but is this the same?

You spunk $330 a month on your phone bill yet are quibbling over paying $70 to get all matches live?

Absolutely. It’s the principle of the thing. They can give it away to someone taking out a new contract for $300 a year. They can give it to me and they are in the same position after a month. I’ll make them do it if I can. No question.
BTW it’s not just phone, it’s 2 mobile plans and fibre as well.

@JC you sound like my dad. His reasoning for not taking up the spark offer, "I've paid enough money to them over the years". Wants me to hook him up with a VPN, when I told him he'd have to pay he was hesitant. Must be his Shetland Island blood shining through.

As expected the uptake of Spark Sport hasn't been what they hoped for.
I have only signed up for the RWC package and their other sports don't interest me enough to pay a monthly subscription.
