Regardless, this poll still shows that ~15% of VMs customer base are more than happy to leave to get BT Sports - that's a massive amount no matter how you look at it.

Personally l want BT Sports but l ain't swapping a overall superior service for one that is a load of rubbish.

Voted yes, as it stands I'm not 100 %. Will give it a month to see what happens. Re the results tbf this board probably understandably heavily biased towards Virgin. Seems to be an irrational fierce loyalty, but in my opinion it is not reflective of TV customers in general. Waited 25mins to speak to someone at Virgin yesterday and was told I could speak to retentions but that would take some time to get through as they were swamped. Virgin take a big risk if as it seems no BT Sport and the XL price remaining the same. Bonkers to be honest.

Definitelyshould be NO as BT or Sky's offering (esp BB) in my area cannot match that of Virgin, infact BT have said they can't offer infinity in my area until Oct 2014 and my expected speed would be around 15mb :rofl::rofl: are they serious? Virgin will be having my business for a very long time.

As pointed out by OP this is a bit of fluffy fun and forums are not representative of the country at large no matter how fun they are....

NO - I still think Virgin are the better of the companies for content on Tivo, and I still think they will improve

That simply isnt true. How can it be, no Sky Atlantic no BT Sports, less HD. Virgin provide a more reliable system but that's it. What content do Virgin have that is better? Re runs of Porridge on on demand?? Seems to be a lot of new posters on here of late giving Virgin the big 'un, coincidence?

VM lack the one thing that BT and Sky have, which is leverage. You gotta pay to play, and VM aren't interested.

No but there again I never watch sport on TV (A player rather than a watcher) so won't miss ESPN either.

No. I'm fed up of paying as much as I do.

Can you even get sky sports F1, sky sports 3 and 4 with BT Sports?

I've never felt less guilty about watching sport on dogy internet feeds.

If I go with BT I lose Sky Sports (no satellite reception). Also, does BT really expect customers to swap all their wiring round to switch from Virgin. More holes in walls & floorboards up just for a few football matches. No thanks.

One channel does not make a service, i did not leave when the Sky spat was at its height, i did not leave over that over hyped Sky Atlantic channel and i certainly will not leave over a channel from BT that shows a bunch of over paid ballerinas kicking a bag of wind around a pitch. :LOL:

You mean Rugby Union?
