BT to charge everyone extra £5 For BT sport

[DiscoSteve]

Between Sky and BT I'm paying £160 a month for TV, Phone and Broadband. It's scandalous.

BT sport 1 and 2 will remain free if you have BT broadband how ever
they are launching a new channel called BT Europe which is not free.
prices to be announced around 30/31 July

This is correct, its a consumer choice if no one pays it then it will fail. I doubt there will be fans of teams not in Eurpoean comps rushing to sign-up and pay £5 plus the connection fee to watch games, imho BT have overpaid for this package, I hope thats the case as they are a shit company who deserve to fail.

Yep.... you clearly are!

^^^This is the sneakiness - for all you who signed up or renewed recently, you only signed up for BT Sport 1 and 2 AND NOT BT Sport Europe (because you can't right now)

I get it BT Sport 1 and 2 (and HD etc) for free with Virgin Media - I fully expect the five pounds for BT Europe will need to be paid for if I want to watch CL next season

What, five whole pounds for each month?

So with my BT broadband I'll get BT sport 1, 2 and Europe all for £60 per year.......whereas Sky Sports will cost me £59 per month from August? Not a tough decision that.

BT Sport are great value when you do the math.

£59 for just the basic package with Sky including Sky Sports..

Yep I've stuck with BT Infinity because, whilst it's not the cheapest, it's good and the 'free' Sport means there's not much in it over Sky Broadband and phone. But then I realised I'm paying them £3 a month for HD FFS. Having just renewed, if they take the piss with the European stuff I'm off.

It's no wonder people stream . Between Sky and BT I'm paying £160 a month for TV, Phone and Broadband. It's scandalous.

You either watch too much porn or your wife deals with the bills.

Would be interesting to see what the uptake is if you have to pay only for champions league ,Europa football.
Not sure fans of teams not in it will bother and just watch the free highlight shows.

It will make some matches available for everyone to watch, whether a subscriber or not, via a new free-to-air channel called BT Sport Showcase.

The digital TV channel will show a minimum of 12 Champions League matches and 14 Europa League games.

Gary Lineker and Jake Humphrey will present the programmes, with Rio Ferdinand also fronting live coverage.

Good news until i read the last 7 words. I literally couldn't think of anybody worse.

I've been told mine is still free and I have been provided with a gadget called Chromecast that plugs into my HDMI port so that I can watch using my smartphone, tablet or laptop.
