Ah, right . I took that as a given in what I said. That's why I asked if he had Sky TV in the first place. I didn't mention Sky broadband.

It seems odd that BT won't offer BT Sport to TalkTalk even though they both sponsor Youview to compete with Sky TV, but they offer it on Sky TV.

I was thinking earlier about why they let Sky have it. I think that must be because the expected income from doing so is greater than the net forecast profit from the number of broadband customers they might otherwise gain from Sky.

The TT question is strange. Don't forget I've queried the poster as to whether or not he can get it on TT, though I doubt if he can. I was worrying that he might think he can get it anywhere.

Wow at the VM availability of it. Similar to the Sky TV deal, at £15 by the look of it.

I think he's already aware of being able to get it on Sky

No BT Sport though unless I subscribed seperately which I guess I could do using the saving from not migrating elsewhere

Exactly, if i stay with TT then the option is to get BT Sport separately on Sky, think it costs £12.50pm though

Yeah, on Sky TV it's £12 per month plus a one-off activation fee of £15, and an extra £3 per month for HD.

Really, blimey didn't realise it was extra for HD, so basically it's half price on Plusnet and free on BT Infinity, if it wasn't for the fact BT have such a bad reputation I'd probably have gone with them by now, the problem is there isn't one ISP that has a particularly good reputation these days so you just have to make as informed a choice as you can and hope for the best. If anyone is going to go wrong its pretty much always during the migration process, once things are up and running generally things are ok, it's getting to that point that's the problem. So to summarise then , assuming I want BT Sport:-

Plusnet is £19.99 + £7.50 (BT Sport) + £14.50 line rental (Bonus with plusnet is it's up to 76Mbps for no extra cost) = £755 over 18 months
BT is £16pm for first 3 months then £23pm + £15.99 line rental (up to 38Mbps) + £30 activation charge = £700 over 18 months or for the equivalent of Plusnet is £20pm for first 3 months then £26pm + £15.99 line rental = £737 over 18 months
Sky is £7.50pm for first 6 months then £20pm + £15.40 line rental (up to 38Mbps) + £15 BT Sport = £832 over 18 months or for the equivalent of Plusnet £30pm + £15.40 line rental + £15 BT Sport = £1087 over 18 months (not competitive at all that!)
Talktalk is probably around £13pm (need to ring retentions for a figure) + £15.95 line rental + £15 BT Sport = £791 over 18 months

Surprisingly it would seem BT are the cheapest , wow I never expected that although if I forgot about BT Sport then obviously talktalk would probably be cheapest, hmmmm

Edit: Just noticed Quidco are doing £100 cashback for Plusnet now, it was £30 the other day! BT is a paltry £10 lol and Sky is £100 as well , might that just have tipped things in Plusnets favour, I think so

Is Plusnet giving the HD version, or are all the online ones?

Plusnet has the HD versions, but I'm not allowed to tell you that
