cheap sports tv packages

Hi everyone

I need to change my broadband supplier and I would also like to add some sports to this. I am pretty limited in what I want - only international Test cricket and rugby union. Does anyone out there know how I could find this sort of package or how I could compare the costs of something as close as possible?

Thanks

    RU is BT Sport for 60 + premiership matches .
    SKY are the other main RU provider .

    cheap would be the free component of BT Sport .

    If you want real cricket instead of pyjama 'cricket', you're stuck with Sky.

    The only exception I know of is BT Sport which will have Australian cricket including this year's Ashes.

    TalkTalk currently have Sky Sports at £8.50 per month, I kid you not. Tons of cricket on there (to say nothing of wall-to-wall NFL!) but cannot speak for RU, though they do BT Sports as well but I don't know how much that is. HTH.

    Mark was in a similar situation as you,i was paying Bt and Sky £126 a month for tv and broadband,called Sky moved my broadband to them and got a new Sky q box for £73 a month.

    I dropped my movie package and went for basic sport offer,chose 2 sports packages,was also informed when rugby season finished i could cancel sports and rejoin later,only difference i wanted league instead of Union.

    There are many other ways to watch sports
