OveFundinFan Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 All this talk of 100mbs or even 38mbs broadband making me drool. My broadband runs at 2mbs max, more often then not about 1.2 - 1.5, sometimes lower! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I apologise to anyone I called a gypo for stealing BT sport. Fill your boots. After taking 5 appointments and 8 weeks to install broadband and then being told I'd have compesation and 12 months free BT sport in HD I have got my second bill today and run up to complain I dont have the compo or the free BT Sport for them to have no record of it. BT are truly inept, they make the BSPA look like leaders of industry! I don't blame anyone for wanting nothing to do with BT and preferring to steal feeds in stead!

Fair play to you for that because you were quite forthright at the time. Have you binned them off on the back of their treatment of you, or will you continue with the contract? I have dropped them before but I am back with them at the moment, it p!sses me off that the only way to get good deals is to move around, I wonder if they have ever tried rewarding loyalty and giving the 'irresistible' offers to renewing customers instead of pulling out all the stops to attract new ones. Btw, I won't be paying BT any extra for the sport channels, it's years since I paid a penny for tv, other than the licence of course. I have the use of virgin anywhere or whatever it's called, also skygo if I want it, then there's always KODI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I had to ring up BT to ask why I couldn't access BT SPORT on SKY, had to give them my viewer card number and it was there immediately, obviously didn't read the instructions haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 It really is amazing how different customers can be treated by the same company. I only have everything but praise for BT after they called me back and offered a better deal when I didn't ask for it. Are you a ranter & raver down the phone? Im proud of the fact I have stayed very calm with them. At the end of the day the person on the other end of the phone is not to blame. I've been promised about a dozen call backs and got 3. And now I have to wait until Friday for a call back about the fact they offered me free BT sport for a year after a cock up and compensation for the 4 failed appointments. They don't seem to care that Friday is no good to me I'll be in work for 7.5 hours! Why they couldn't sort it out in the hour I was on the phone with them yesterday I do not know. Ive been logging my phone calls to them and I'm now up to just short of 6 hours, 5 hours and 52 minutes since Jan 29th when I signed up. They failed to arrive for 3 appointments, turned up at one to activate a line but didn't know I was meant to be having broadband and then had to have another appointment a week later for the broadband. If you miss an appointment they charge you £175, they miss and appointment and you get £10!! Fair play to you for that because you were quite forthright at the time. Have you binned them off on the back of their treatment of you, or will you continue with the contract? I have dropped them before but I am back with them at the moment, it p!sses me off that the only way to get good deals is to move around, I wonder if they have ever tried rewarding loyalty and giving the 'irresistible' offers to renewing customers instead of pulling out all the stops to attract new ones. Btw, I won't be paying BT any extra for the sport channels, it's years since I paid a penny for tv, other than the licence of course. I have the use of virgin anywhere or whatever it's called, also skygo if I want it, then there's always KODI. Ive got very little choice to stick with them. As one of the lovely operators told me when I wanted to cancel back in February after the 2nd failed appointment, "BT Outreach provide the infrastructure for all suppliers, if you want a phone line you have to go through us either directly or indirectly". And they do work out significantly cheaper than than anyone else for broadband and BT Sport though! Just a shame it takes them so many attempts and phone calls to get the services right and now 2 bills in they're still over charging me! I certainly WONT be renewing when the contract ends. Now the line is installed I'll be switching to anyone that is NOT BT. As for BT Sport, I'll probably just do what people on here are doing. Illegal and immoral it may be but these people want to give me £20 for two failed appointments when the one was cancelled the day before by email (when I had not internet!) and they think the one where the phone line was installed counts as a success, I don't as they needed another appointment for the broadband! Thats immoral, 4 days of my live and they want to pay £20. 4 days of my life is about £750 to me, that a lot of free BT sports I have to get before we're even! accepted scb welcome to our world I've already made my peace with BWitcher and will say now if I said anything out of line I apologise also mate.

Sarah Zigi Ward Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 I live in Hull so can't get BT. Kcom have a monopoly in terms of phone and Internet. It's bloody expensive and not very good. I would dearly love to switch to BT so I could get the sport package but I can't. It would be £20 a month. I have no interest in any of their other shows. Football bores me to tears. I'd gladly pay per view for the speedway but that is not an option. I'm wondering if my Hitachi smart TVs would allow the kodi thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
