interesting.
I am curious to know the end game. Is BT doing this to reinforce its broadband (making that its staple/stable supply). That puts it directly against Virgin, as a broadband provider.
It could also mean BT is trying to compete on sports front (don't see it trying to do all tv). that said, if internet is going to be the medium that people watch tv in future, then broadband is the delivery you want to be in now.
I am interested in short-term. Though never seen fast broadband as important (my gaming connection sucked with virgin), if infinity (and beyond) works well, I might be tempted (at worst, try it for a year, and go back to sky if unhappy).
I tend to view switching providers is occasionally wise, as companies tend to view regular customers as cash cows (which of course, doesn't moo me
)
So just waiting for to see how sky respond, but they need to be quick about it, or I might switch purely as I can't be bothered waiting
(oh, not ruling out virgin, though suspect they have nothing I want, at least for the price they charge)
