I think you are mixing the streaming costs with BT costs. Netflix, Amazon and Now TV on their own compare well against pay tv packages on Sky, VM and BT. The main digital Sky channels and on demand offerings are on Now TV.

It's only when you add the pay TV packages on top of the streaming services that it gets more expensive.

True, but it should not be forgotten that Sky Sports is coming to BT next year, and the Sky entertainment channels will be available via Now TV.

That's a big improvement in viewer choice coming soon for BT subscribers.
