This is surely something that most kiwis have been looking forward to for a long time. When I came back to NZ in 2011, I subscribed to Sky TV's sport package because, for one, I had been on a rugby fast for nearly twenty years, [next to no rugby on TV in the USA] and secondly, I was not working, and had lots of time to fill in. I was very happy with the rugby coverage I was getting. I also am a great fan of F1 and I've hardly ever missed a race on the schedule since then.

Then, some months ago, I heard about Spark winning the bid to cover these two sporting events. However, Spark offered me all RWC games for $60 but I could not afford their monthly sport package.

My big complaint is that Sky still charges me the same for a lot less programming. I have made two complaints to the Commerce Commission, but without any positive response.

Maybe if thousands of other Kiwis who have experienced this rip-off made complaints something may be done to force Sky TV to reduce their price now that they do not offer what they once did?
