    No, not really, the raise was originally going to happen in 2020 but got postponed.

    NFL would not be a reason to justify it in the UK, they have started covering some of the Premier League football a while ago which was 1000 times more significant in the UK and prices didn't rise.

    Not really, it was £7.99 for years, as long as I can remember, it had to go up at some point.

    For me it's still worth it, as I use it a lot it has paid for itself ten times over.
