Exactly the same boat. I just upgraded to Sonic at home and work and if I realized ahead of time I would lose ESPN I would have held off in one location.harryjjj wrote:Just got hooked up to sonic.net.

How much extra would you be willing to pay in order to have access to ESPN3?bmcdonnell wrote:Exactly the same boat.

I don't know what the subscription issues are, and it makes sense that others shouldn't have to pay for services that only a few use. But this is a real bummer. I was promoting Sonic.net to a few friends but quite a few of them are big ESPN users as well (mostly for soccer games). I'll tell them to hold off for now

Maybe we could implement it via a kickstarter-like mechanism. When enough people have put up enough to cover the full cost (so that people who don't want it don't have to pay for it), we take up ESPN3?dane wrote:Good to know how you perceive the value.pmsaunders wrote:A previous poster proposed $5/month.

The challenge is that is not a la carte. All customers pay.
