It looks like BT is up to its old trick of sneaking through a charge that could end up costing you a packet if you're not careful. The media giant has written to broadband customers who've received BT Sport for free since it was set up.
Not for much longer. The company has snapped up rights to show Champions League football and so will begin charging customers a fiver a month to watch the channels in future. That's a fair price, I reckon, but the way in which it seems to be signing people up to the subscription looks unfair. The email says: "If you do nothing, your BT Sport Pack will cost £5 a month from 1 August". That smacks of "inertia selling" to me – and to several of you who passed the message on to me.
