Day Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 How much was it before? half tempted to upgrade to Virgin Media XL as it comes free with that but then Robbie Savage is a pundit for them, not sure I can handle that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I only have Medium at the moment and the price is still showing as £15 for the add on although it would be cheaper to go to XL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Teale Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 To be fair after the billions they have spent on champions league rights they weren't going to give it away for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 They promise Motorsport and only seem to offer Moto GP and WRC, with very very lousy IndyCar coverage. Only the rest of the gamut of motor sport they've missed out on then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicME85 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 To be fair after the billions they have spent on champions league rights they weren't going to give it away for free Actually they are....for some games There is a new BT Sport channel launching that will be free to view for some games, most likely the really dull games but IIRC there is a set amount that has to be free (because of ITV not having any of the FTA matches) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Teale Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I believe they have to put every English team on at least once for free. To be fair they aren't being discreet about their plans, if you buy their Broadband its a lot cheaper, as it is with their mobile and once EE is on board the more you buy from them the cheaper things are, just like virgin and sky really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicME85 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 A number of games will be shown free-to-air on a new digital channel including the finals of both European competitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'd rather have sex with a chainsaw than touch BT again. I might ring the call center in India to let them know I'm streaming the Champions League Final. I can do that now because my Internet actually works. My bill is actually not made up by a monkey on a typewriter anymore.Then I'll explain it again. And again. Then again in. SLOW. BASIC. LOUD. ENGLISH.

davenportram Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 bit of a warning here. Anyone who is currently signed up to BTSport for free because you have BT broadband will be charged from August 1st, a monthly fee of £10.sneaky ******* told me mine would be free for 12 months when I renewed BT broadband, then sent me an email to tell me of the price change a week later. When I rang to query they lied and said the new pricing wasn't known about when I renewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had our pants down so much that even the most expensive Sky package began to look dirt cheap. At least everything works, problems get solved and the bull pooh is kept to an expected level. BT? BS!

They emailed saying I eed do nothing and they will charge me extra. Thought it was a spoof pee take email. Or I could renew for 18momths and get sports for free.Their technology is slow and awful vs Sky. Picture quality not as good as skysky will put out a good offer to return, so know where I will be in 12months time......sell the bt box and get new sky dish and box etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Sounds like the BT we knew and loved. Had our pants down so much that even the most expensive Sky package began to look dirt cheap. At least everything works, problems get solved and the bull pooh is kept to an expected level. BT? BS! I first had BT broadband in Mostyn Towers. It worked fine, but was about £30 a month, just for phone and broadband. The problem I had was that in getting it installed, I ended up having about 4 separate days off work, and they kept not turning up. I was then promised some compensation, in the form of credit on the bill, which never came. So after 18 months I binned the lot and went with Sky and have stayed with them. Their customer services can be a bit poor, but if you kick off, they usually back down and apologise.BT have occasionally somehow got hold of my number and cold-called to try and sell their services, I distinctly remember a call that went something like this:Me: HelloBT: Morning Mr Mostyn, It's Dave from BT just wondering if I can interest you in our amazing new Broadband, Phone and TV packagesMe: No Dave, you couldn't interest me if you triedBT: Well we have a really good deal on Broadband which I think will beat your current dealMe: Is it free?BT: Er.... No SirMe: Well, do you pay ME to have your broadband?BT: Er.... No Sir, if you'll allow me to......Me: Well, my current broadband is free, how can you beat that dealBT: Well, we have a deal that starts at .....Me: Hang on Dave! Are you actually listening to what I am saying?BT: Sir? Yes... or course!Me: Well, I've just told you that I do not pay for my broadband, so unless you are paying me to use your services, you are not beating the deal! So can you beat that deal?BT: Well.. our package per month, is quite cheap, it starts at....Me: Dave? Are you a moron? or do you have to read everything off a screen?BT: Sir?Me: Look... remove my number off your system. I will never come back to BT, is that clear?BT: OKay sir. Goodbye.
