    Just got a letter to say it's going up to 21.99 pm from 1 sep, this is on the back of the page where they are telling you about the rugby and Brian o Driscoll.

    Went for that myself. Saves ringing up and hagglin' every few months.

    With BT sport/setanta/Espn

    I get live sport:
    champions league (compliments rte/tv3 live games)
    europa league
    bundesliga (main reason I got it)
    french football (watch PSG games only)
    Italian football (watch juventus/roma games only)
    Portugal football (big 3 games only for me to see)
    Half the live games from european rugby
    some Eng Prem games and Eng FA Cup games (that compliments bbc's live fa cup games)

    15.34 per month is better value than sky sports as I won't get sky sports until maybe the knockout live games of european rugby in the new year for one month

    Agreed..

    I just secured it at €9.99 per month for 3 months last night.

    That's my 4th time in a row getting that deal.

    I'm also on the rolling 9.99 deal.Worth the one phone call every three months.

    Let's face it, there ain't a whole pile worth watching that often on the five channels.

    If they say to me full price , I just say bibi.

    They will always come back to you offering the deal

    I don't even ring them.

    I do all my contact with them via email.

    They did offer it to me last night at €12.99 per month, but I said no, and wished to cancel.

    I emailed them back later and they offered the €9.99 then which I took.

    Setanta are saying the European Rugby Champions Cup is the reason why they put up the price on their Facebook page.

    Well, I have no price increase with them..

    They offered it to me for €12.99 a month for 3 months with I refused, and then was offered it for €9.99 a month for 3 months which I took.

    Is the increase for new customers maybe?

    I presume not everyone was getting your special offer and were paying full price for it.

    It will probably mean that they will increase the price next year when Bt start to show the Champions League matches, even though Setanta show Second pick Champions League games.

    rang setanta today just to query my current offer and was surprised. I was under the impression i had a four month €9.99 a month deal, anyway not i am on a three month at €9.99.

    I asked when was next bill due told the 27/8/14 this to cover me for september. so i need to ring them before the 27/8/14 to renegotiate. Its kind of messy and glad i rang.
