This is the last thing we need. Our broadband subscription prices shouldn't have to go up to line the pockets of a website that most of us never visit. If people want to watch the content on ESPN360, they can pay for subscriptions themselves.

Exactly my feeling.
Example: Frontier DSL was using
ESPN360 as a ValueAdd proposition. Never mind that for the most part, their speed tiers were not sufficient enough to enjoy the site. I think it is the start of Bundling gone awry. No chance to Un-bundle what one is not interested in paying for.

 I could enjoy the site on a 768kbps broadband connection while missing one or two of the images that stream at the bottom. Surely Frontier had something faster unless your line was that bad? My Frontier DSL Line could do the 6 vidoes without issue. Their plugin just loves to eat CPU though on the older computers.

Exactly why after many promises of Fiber to the node for my little corner of Laguna, I switched, nay, jumped to Surewest FTTH when they bacame available.
