I have a friend that pays $14 a month for his. He pays up front for the entire year. He's used it for 5+ years now.
He called the CRTC to make sure it was legal & they confirmed it is. All Canadian/US/British channels & I believe worldwide ones as well. All streaming services included. The only reason I haven't signed up is because I'd never leave the house lol. Let me know if you(or anyone else) wants the info. They're based out of Montreal.
Apparently there are caps in place as to how much teams can spend on the ops side, Front office execs, scouting, player development etc. The owners clamoring for a salary cap without a floor are leading the charge in that area too.
