never really needed it , but tech support thats free from KC is far more attractive to the horror stories i hear from some friends over XBL , Also i hardly remember losing my internet in the last 10 yrs - would like them to have to watch over their shoulders with a genuine rival company though
Don't know what you pay at the moment but nowadays the bundles are best value. The Home Xtra bundle is £40 a month and you get 300GB with that and loads of free calls to all sorts of numbers. I'd imagine something isn't quite right on your line there. Check all your microfilters. Apparently it was going to get an external makeover as well as the internal renovation going on now but they decided to divert the money to laying more fibre in this financial year instead. The weird thing is they still (apparently) spent some money on the outside of the building but it seems all they did is put some scaffolding up and then take it down again. I can't see what is supposed to have been done up there at all.
I've done an on-line speed test, and so has my ISP. I had a recently-occurring fault fixed by BT Openreach and they confirmed the speed. I'm 3 houses from the end of the line (copper) in a rural area; there's no fibre-optic into the village substation which is 3 miles away.
Fair enough. This is the thing with BT, their network covers such a wide area that servicing your village in rural Norfolk is a really low priority. In Hull every phone exchange is connected to KC through fibre so the only bit that is copper is from the house to the exchange.
So back on topic do you get the by sport free with bt broadband? I know it was included in a tv package with fibre optic at Christmas, I opted for sky because it was cheaper and they could activate the line 2 whole months earlier! If you get bt sport free I'm switching. On fibre optic, they've had it round the corner from me (literally 5 houses down, on the same road, just round the corner) for 6 months, still waiting for them to bring it into my house. Builders have left the road and paths and not finished it to save having to relay it when bt and virgin rip the bastard up. Getting pissed off they're taking their ****ing time.
Loving this . Mrs tiger cancelled our sky subscription because she said city where on the tv to much and she was fed up of having to watch the game, just incase my kids saw dad on the tv. So she changed our internet as well from sky to bt infinity . Today she read the back of the paper to see the deal on offer. She muttered under her breath looks like we are off to virgin then. Before realising she has an 18 month contract. Karmer os a wonderful thing
It's really very simple. Sign up for BT Broadband, get BT Sports free. I'll be interested to see how Sky respond to this, if they do at all. Have had Sky broadband and tv for a long time, and in all honesty, never had a single problem with it. I get around 10mb speeds, but, could have BT Fibre. I have in the past had BT and found them a bunch of unhelpful ****s when I had problems, which I did. Couldn't ditch Sky TV because we watch Game of Thrones on Atlantic not mention 1 or 2 movies a week as well. It's very tempting though. I hope Sky come up with something too.
Its like that in the Hull area where I am in terms of waiting for fibre-optic, I moved and had to get standard broadband and after cable it's driving me mad, and it seems completely random which areas are getting fibre-optic ( not mine yet), how hard is it to lay cables and think of the cost redeemed when people sign up for the packages?
I hope you're right. Sky's football coverage is infinitely better than anyone else's. I could watch SSN all day if nothing else is on and I keep wishing I had Sky this week to watch the playoffs. I really hope Sky do something to make Sky Sports more available at some point. I heard something recently that apparently they have to make it available without normal Sky or something. I can't remember properly but it sounded encouraging.
PLT sky sports has been available without sky tv for years, but its about £30 a month, so if your gonna bother you may aswell get the whole hog and have sky tv too. Freeview has sky sports which just needs activating and it's part of the sky go thing which is basically just a streamed service to computers/tablets/phones.
You can get day-passes on Now TV for a tenner if you don't want to faff around with dodgy streaming sites and there is some stuff on footballwise on Sky you want to watch, I tried it and it was pretty good, also they give you a month free of Sky Movies database (kind of like Netflix but more up to date) turn off auto-renew and you will get that free for a month
Have BT announced the price for there sports channel yet ? Assuming it will run along the lines of Espn and Premier Sports as a subscription channel. I shall get it via my sky dish hopefully as long as the monthly fee is less than £20. NB.. BT have First Overall Pick of the opening BPL fixtures as part of there package.
Yeah I know, but I meant for a reasonable price. Also I can't use Sky Go because my internet download limit is 6GB (I'm a cheap ****)
Here NBC has purchased the rights for next season. They have been putting advertisements on TV saying every PL game will be televised live or streamed live on their website starting next season.
