Well, just make sure you don't do a 'series record' for Peppa Pig! It would even clog up my 1 TB box!

I think you can safely say, I won't

I got a leaflet through the door today for BT sport

It mentions that BT line rental in advance is £141. That is £12 more than I paid. Possible price rise happening soon?

6% of Sky customers consider switching to BT, survey finds

BT's decision to provide free sports channel access to broadband customers could help the firm attract new subscribers, it has been suggested.

Research conducted by Usurv indicates that six per cent of Sky TV customers are considering terminating their subscription to sign up with BT instead.

Some 15 per cent of Sky customers surveyed said they were interested in receiving BT Sport, which launches in August 2013, reports Advanced Television.

The Usurv poll also indicated that eight per cent of non-Sky/BT customers will switch from their existing broadband provider in order to access BT Sport.

Guy Potter, Research Director at Usurv, said the study shows consumers are interested in BT's new sports package.

He commented that the initial feedback to the free service offer "seems very positive".

"While it is early days, as BT ramps up its multi-million pound ad campaign to promote the channels and more people get a clearer picture of what’s on offer, you might expect interest to build," Mr Potter stated.

"Our findings show that it certainly wouldn’t be a surprise to see customers from Sky and other broadband providers switching to BT to benefit from these new channels."

I don't get that?

wouldn't they be switching for BT broadband and free BT sport?

And does it say they will cancel all services, or just broadband?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Unlimited (20mb) BB on Sky is £7.50 and is £16 on BT.
Sky Phone packages are: Weekends: free, Anytime: £5
BT Phone: Evenings & Weekends: £2, Anytime: £7
Line Rental: Sky: £14.50 BT: £15.45 (or £10.75 if pay upfront)

However, BT Sport costs £12 on Sky and is free on BT. (Next year it will cost £15 on Sky and £3 on BT for HD)

Therefore: Sky BB & Anytime calls = £27
BT BB & Anytime calls = £38.45 (at £15.45 line-rental)

Difference = £11.45

Therefore it is 55p cheaper to switch to BT for phone and BB if you want BT Sport.

Though if you factor in 6 months BB for free on BT, you can save £99.30 over the course of 12 months.

Not sure it'd be worth the hassle for most.

A correction, weekend calls included in BT packages

£99.30 would be reason for me

Yes, BT don't offer "evening and weekends" just weekends or anytime.

Many existing customers like myself are still on the old deal were evening and weekend calls were included in line rental my potential saving would only be 55p so not worth bothering especially as I'm am currently getting line rental free for the next 9 months.

They don't offer that package anymore to new customers. It's all or just weekends.
