not really, tougher competitor now in sky-da-ph who can make more money from bundling products but doesn't guarantee success
have a read of this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_bundling
even a lessor bundled package can still drive a superior bundled package from the market
also worth noting is that the moves of spark and sky-da-ph will prohibit other gentailers from entering the market for broadband eg trustpower is a good example of gentailers entering the market

Bundling, market power, and competitiveness[edit]
In oligopolistic and monopolistic industries, product bundling can be seen as an unfair use of market power because it limits the choices available to the consumer. In these cases it is typically called product tying. Some forms of product bundling have been subject to litigation regarding abuses of market share.

Of course you need the basic SKT package to watch it so it's not a complete waste of time for SKT. Apparently the EPL would have cost them $12M over three years if they did it another way.
I sold Spark and own SKT. However, I'd love to buy back into Spark one day. It's a great company, with excellent customer service. And while Sky and VF are fluffing around after the merger, there'll be plenty of opportunity for Spark to steal more market share during the chaos. Spark has to get rid of Lightbox in my opinion, it's a waste of money and I don't know of anyone that has got or retained Spark because of it.

Edit: I forgot to add that you don't have to subscribe to SKYSports to get the Soccer channels.
