What are they offering new customers??

50% off anything and everything plus a £25 voucher. GETSKY50 is the code or GETSKYNOW. They always offer it around August time to boost their numbers. I signed up last August.
 
Is there a link i cant see it? i am gonna call them now.

Not sure if there is a link but if you go on their website and go to their bundles and select which one you want, on the top right it says Have an offer code? If you enter GETSKYNOW you get taken to a site where everything is half price. Full package with HD Sports and Movies is £37.88.
 
Ok, please someone advise me -

About a month ago I signed up to the full sky package with sports, movies, standard broadband, phone line etc. My bill is £78 per month.

It doenst come with the BT package which is an additional £19.99 per month.

The broadband is poor and i am not happy with that.

Also with everything that seems to be going on with BT gaining all champions league etc, I feel like I am missing out.

What should I do? I want the full package but for as cheap as possible. Am i contractually tied in with sky for 12 months or could I cancel the broadband/ phone line and get the BT infinity then I would be able to watch the BT sport on my sky box?

Some help please guys as I am a new home owner and money is quite tight, but wanna make sure I get the full sports for as cheap as possible (and faster broadband)

Thanks
Unfortunately mate, it looks like you're tied in for the year. There's a 14 day cooling off period at the start where you can cancel free of charge but once that's elapsed, you're stuck with them for the duration of the contract.
 
I have just checked and its only been active for 12 days,

The problem is if i cancel now will the internet just stop?The missus works from home so need to make sure that if i cancel it, she isnt without the internet for prolonged period.

How long would I be without it?

I think it makes sense to keep the package i am on but remove the internet and go with BT inifinty fibre which includes the bt sport that I can watch on my sky hd box? agreed?
Just seen this message now mate, cancel and go to BT!
 
so if they dont accept a reduction for the tv offer over the phone what should i do?

Say that you want to speak to the manager and that you have been mis sold the package and that you will take it up with the ombudsman if they do not give you a reduction. Basically they will just try to make you go away, most people will, but if you dig your heals in they will appease you.

Be put through to cancellations and do cancel if it comes to it considering you're within the cooling off period. Then sign up again at half price and get BT infinity! They won't let you cancel though. Retentions will give you the discount for sure. If they dont then you can still forcefully get it as explained above.
 
BTSportEurope channel started broadcasting today and it looks horrible. That sidebar with the fixtures and news is just retarded. And the best part they show it all the time - even when they show a replay match :wenger:

That's odd. I watched that game earlier and there was none of that on it. It was just a normal screen.

Can anyone else confirm this shite Sky Sports News style layout is being used? They already went over the top with stupid 'BT Box' gimmick, surely they aren't actually leaving this sidebars on when the season starts proper?

It is at the moment. Definitely wasn't when I watched that game live earlier in the day. When I looked earlier this morning is was the Sky Sport News screen. It better not be like that when they CL games are on.

Ring BT.

They offered to buy out my broadband contract, when I rang about BT sport. But I refused as I was on 150Mb with Virgin and BT had nothing that could top that.
 
I am watching the Fortuna/Paderborn game at 12.30, so will see how it is then, They are showing the Wolfburg/Bayern game atm and I watched that live last night and the screen was normal. Maybe they are doing it when they are showing replays but not the actual live game.
 
They said they cant match the tv offer because i already had recieved a 25% discount on the package.

They also said that I cant just cancel the sky and then sign up again as there is a 12month time period where if you cancel you cant sign up again.

The conversation was ended with nothing resolved. Feel like i didnt achieve anything.

The only thing they offered was free fibre optic broadband. so i would still have to pay £19.99 for BT.

any further advise?

If you can cancel within the cooling off period, cancel.

I was with Sky a few years back, and I had the 20mb broadband package. For the duration of two years, my net speed never exceeded 1mb as I lived too far from the telephone exchange.

LEAVE while you can.

Ask them to match the price they are offering to people now or you will cancel. Can you register the service at a family members address in your wifes/your name? That way you can cancel and get 50%.

DONT GIVE UP, FORCE THEM TO DO IT OR CANCEL!

Just leave and go to Virgin or BT.

Also, sounds like you gave up way to easily. It's their job to fob you off. You need to speak to retentions.
 
The UEFA Super Cup Barcelona v. Sevilla is on BT as well. Also that stupid screen is still there for the German football. Aaaaaaargh!:mad:
No, the screen has gone normal as game kicks off. Yaaaaaaaay!
 
Has a decent Wiziwig alternative arisen yet?
 
how's the broadband on BT? it seems cheaper albeit a lower rating than virgin, but performance is more important than stats
 
There is a program called Kodi that you can install streaming apps? into.



Yeh I have Kodi, never properly got to grips with it though. Always had trouble finding streams and then when I did I couldn't rely on it not buffering.
 
Does anyone know of a site that compares Virgin, Sky and BT with the Sky & BT sports bundles with all of them?

...each site make it ridiculously hard just to create the bundle, unsurprisingly Virgin being the easiest
 
50% off anything and everything plus a £25 voucher. GETSKY50 is the code or GETSKYNOW. They always offer it around August time to boost their numbers. I signed up last August.
When I was with Sky I always tried to cancel the Sports package during the summer; they sometimes offered discounts like a third off in response.

BT look like they are here to stay and have built up a nice football portfolio. Sky's business plan and strategy on the other hand is all over the place. Hard to justify spending £40+ p/m on league football alone.

Uswitch does it I believe.
 
Would I be right in thinking that the BT Sport 4k channel will be exclusive to BT TV and not available on Sky?
 
What's the best browser to run BT sports on? I'm watching it on IE atm but it's clunky as feck. Why the feck can't they just support Chrome?

Chrome stopped supporting silver light. I'm using firefox, but the crappy bt sports app ain't working...

Isn't just me then?

I was watching it on my phone mirrored to the tele, and it was shite quality. Decided to swap to browser + hdmi and can't get it to work. Went back to the android app and it's not loading.

BTs website is fecking dreadful. I tried to use it a number of times last season and ended up using illegal streams instead.

Arghhh!! So annoying. I'm tempted to just subscribe to the feckers. Expect it to be this shite when we start playing, next week.

But yeah... It just keeps loading on their website.
