BT Sport

BT Sport truly screwed next year as there 2 darlings arent in the champs league
Also heard that are hierarchy are very cheesed with them and may ban them from broadcasting/relegate them to smaller broadcasting rooms ?
 
Ive just recently fucked off BT too, and told them the reason. Also informed them I will not be renewing next season either.

I get it as part of my Virgin package so it wouldn't have the same impact if I phoned them to cancel it

I am the same as you but I told the BT answerphone and will tell them in person that I have told Virgin I do not want BT even though it is free. If enough Blues did that Virgin would put pressure on BT and that would be far more powerful than what we could do. Virgin will be paying BT for the right to screen their games, if Blues start cancelling a free service someone will ask questions.

I wanted to move to them last year but we weren't cabled. It seems from that we are now so I'll be moving as soon as my contract with BT ends.

I've just gone the other way, ditching Virgin and moving to BT. I actually have better internet now, especially when I work from home and need to move large files back to the work server. This is because I get 20mb upload with BT but only got 2mb with VM. I could have paid a fortune for faster VM upload service if I really needed 200mb download, which I don't. So it's not as simple as it first appears.

I also have a phone line that works in the rain now, more consistent download speeds at peak time and customer service haven't lied to me yet, like VM did consistently. But these are just maybe individual issues to me.

I don't mind paying 3pound a month to BT for sport, I just don't listen to the pundits. Easy when you've been married twenty years to shut out drivel.

Give it time mate.

True, they all do it.

VM really pissed me off, though. They have a real "budget" feel to their business. They even asked for the remote controls and power leads back when I returned their equipment.

BT do too, I've had em both & you're right they're all the same.
You're right about the download speeds too, better than the rest.
 
Due to the Bt increase on july 3rd,anyone can leave with no exit fee.I phoned and finished up getting £11.50 reduction
Download speed has always been just about within 22-32 mb.

Have you got any info about this price increase? My contract isn't up until September but if I can get out earlier then great. I've not had an email about a price increase though.
 
if you want to leave before your contract is up, you need to call them to cancel within 30 days of receiving e-mail telling you of the changes in price on 3rd July,
I received my e-mail on 1st May, cancelled over the weekend, initially told I would have to pay £134 for cancellation because I extended last December to save £6.75 for bt sport, and also because sky contacted them on my behalf (changed provider) and I had gone out of procedure, although they couldn't explain to me where it said I had gone out of procedure, they have now waivered that, and it will be free of cancellation charges

I assume these are small bursts of upload speed required and not large .iso's etc. I only say this as those using torrents will see better results from Virgin over a 24hr seeding period.
Virgin 200 has 1.4MB/s upload not the piddly 330KB/s and the 300 package gives 2.4MB/s. If you do not hammer the bw and call to ask for the fup to be removed they will do that to.
The price is cheaper just for bb with virgin so i am not sure who told you what about prices but they were not sincere.

If you mean virgin media business internet big red then yes that is not cheap but the speeds are full 100 or gbit uplink so 100Mbps up or 1000Mbps.
These speeds far outstrip anything else offered by anyone but you really do pay for it.

TBH TCIB, I prefer it when I understand what you're on about.

When you talk about a virgin's 24 hour seeding period I think I get it but I think you spelled 'fap' wrong

why you want your fap removed I don't know. I thought you and fap were good friends.

But then you talk about full 100 gbit uplink speeds and I don't like it.
