The phonecall with virgin I've just had is the clearest indication I've had that we are not getting BT Sport anytime soon.

I rang up to get my Sky Sports Package re-instated, and they said they are offering a deal with Sky Sports now in which you get it for half price for three months, but you are bound to a 12 month contract with Virgin meaning you cannot cancel your TV, Phone or Broadband in those 12 months.

So they are basically trying to stop people leaving.

I did have a chat with her about BT Sport, she didn't know much really, she just said "We're in talks, as we have been for ages. Hopefully we will get it. I think they are just trying to get as many of our customers as they can"

So she was implying that the sticking point is with them, and not with Virgin, which I don't really believe.

But there you go, make of it what you will.
