    I don't have BT on the telly as freeview more than meets my needs. Otherwise I'd watch it on the TV and not the interweb!

    To that extent it is technically 'free' as it is not itemised as a cost on my bill, but it is still a service that has to be paid for by my bill. But then again it's the same 'free' if you have Infinity broadband and BT TV - then it only costs more if you want HD.

    See, I wouldn't feel disgruntled that I was paying for something in this situation, simply because whether or not I use this service, I'm paying the same. I can't ask for a reduction on my bill because I don't watch BT Sport. It's just there, just like you don't get a reduction in your line rental if you make no calls. There are all sorts of hidden costs in life. I suspect the maintenance and purchase of new supermarket trolleys is embedded somewhere in the price I pay for food but I don't feel I'm not getting my money's worth when one's got a squeaky wheel.
