To answer my own questions... True sport is included but that's not going to get F1 coverage. For that you need Fox Sports which is in the Gold package.Pleng wrote: I notice that the true sport channels are listed on the set top box, but presumably not included in the standard package. Is it possible to upgrade the package to include them, do you know?
No it is not possible to upgrade your free package to Gold at a discount rate. You have to pay the full amount if you want a Gold subscription. Either that or get the 200Mbps package, which includes Gold as standard - but at a fairly hefty 9,999bt per month!
Make sure you know which speed you're interested in before subscribing. My girlfriend called True to ask if we could upgrade to 20Mbps, on the proviso that if we didn't find a noticeable difference we could return back to 15. Before even getting to that issue, we were told we'd need a new router, at an additional 100bt, if we wanted to have the 20Mbps package. I really don't think that is the case but I wasn't prepared to keep at it, and so far am keeping with my 15Mps package.
ADDITIONALLY.... I also noted in their terms and conditions that they have a maximum amount of data per hour for all of their packages. Presumably after this time period they throttle your speed. This would make sense as when I am streaming in HD I find, no matter when or what I am watching, after about an hour the picture and sound break up quite badly. I will try streaming the second F1 practice today in low quality and see if the issues still arise or not.
