    What's the crack with this? It's free for BT broadband users through the Internet and a sky dish. But as the people's republic of karoo, dictates our limited range of ISP access, where does that leave us.

    I'm assuming 38 games will include at least 2-3 involving City, I remember paying Setanta £9 a month to watch City twice, although that did include a fantastic game at the Emirates.

    Does anyone know the cost of BT sport? Looks like best bet is to go to the game or if not the pub!

    It's £15 a month to subscribe using TV.
    I have BT Broadband but I assume I would have to watch the matches live.

    I have BT broadband which went down for the last 5 days, engineer came today and I ask about the BT sport, and he said I wouldn't get it as you need around 4MG speed, and I only get 2MG here if lucky.

    2 Mbps? That would be my worst nightmare, I get around 13 but would still love to get fibreoptic. Guessing you live in the middle of nowhere then?

    I get 75mbps and that's on wireless. Engineer tested the line when my fibre optic was been installed and I could get 130mbps if I had a wired connection.

    Or you could connect your router to a Homeplug and run through the electric cables in your house!

    75 Mbps is more than I need, can't see why I'd need it faster.

    In answer to the router question it's the free one that came from kc install - net gear 3500L

    You can download more at the same time. You could have better quality video. I could go on.

    I remember when 32K of RAM was all that people thought would ever be needed!

    No matter how fast your internet it, if your router can only send N speeds, you won't get G speeds. Hence why i get 70 wired but only 12 wireless. I cant see you getting nearly 80 Mbps without an expensive G router!
