I hate Murdoch but the BT Sport fiasco is the final straw.

I have been on chat with Sky and for the identical package that i have now 2 boxes, i have been quoted £72. I pay £81.00 with Virgin for less channels! I have also seen on seenit.co.uk that Sky are offering a transfer over with BT Sport paid as a credit for 12 months..in other words..free..

Can someone explain to me now why I should not go to Sky because I don't really want to...
I have just got off the phone to Virgin. The sky package for 2 boxes was £72.25. Virgin have offered a reduction to £74.74 including an upgrade to 60 meg broadband. At least the saving will pay for visits to the pub to watch BT Sports matches if I need to..James in customer Services seemed genuine and sincere. He even accepted that both sides are to blame for the BT Sport fiasco..

So I will stay..but hope they will get BT Sport, although without Virgin I think BT Sport will lose money hand over fist...!
