Sky and VM offer TV services without broadband. I assume that with BT, you have to have BB from them to get TV. I could be wrong on that though.

But the significant change to me is that, for sports fans, sport is now available at a similar, though slightly higher price, via streaming rather than having to subscribe to a full pay TV service with at least a 12 month contract; Now TV's previously daily and weekly passes were too expensive to be viable for a sports fan who want an on-going service.

It may still be cost effective to go down the Sky or VM route if you want phone and broadband bundled, but there is now another option, especially if you want BT sport as well as Sky sports, as this is free (excluding the new European part) if you get your broadband from BT.
