Sky disgusts me and they should be…

Sky disgusts me and they should be fined for their monopolistic extortion of the NZ market!!! They have a monopoly of the V8 Supercars (V8S) in NZ. V8S online streaming option 'Superview' is blocked in NZ. Our only option is to watch V8S on Sky, but in order to do that we are forced to buy their other content packages that we don't want or need. This is anti-competitive and EXTORTIONATE!!! To put it another way, imagine there is only one store in NZ that sells pants, however theres a twist, this shop will only sell you a pair of pants if you also buy a shirt. This is exactly what SKY and V8S are doing to the NZ market. We are being screw*d. Although I have a subscription, I can't watch Sky at my bach unless I pay more. Sky's content is old and forever on repeat...over and over. If you want to watch a decent/recent movie you have to pay again at box office. Sky deleted National Geo a few months ago but no reduction in fees for that package??? When customers signed up to pay a certain amount for certain content, then they remove some content, then customers are not getting what they paid for = rip off!!! Sky was sold to NZ as add-free content but now there are more adds on Sky than regular TV??? I can subscribe to Netflix, Prime Video, and Neon for less than $40 per month, the content is so much better, aand I can watch from home or the bach without having to pay again. Bye bye Sky, you're quite pathetic and well behind the times. Cancelled both subscriptions and you will never see another dollar from me. Only a matter of time before the rest of your customer base wakes up to you rip-off approach to the NZ market!!!
