Re: Will you leave Virgin Media if BT Sport Doesn't arrive
Even if Virgin got it I would not pay extra for it....
However losing content on the On Demand, HD channels missing, price not actually any better really, Sky Go a far better product then I am close to looking across the way.
I do not have a BT phone line installed but hear they sort that if you are a new customer etc and I would be signing up to everything with them.
Just a shame that the internet would be so bad with them but then the 120MB I currently get is overkill for what I use but it's part of the VIP so I have it.

Re: Will you leave Virgin Media if BT Sport Doesn't arrive
Already left, will pay far less overall on BT infinity and their TV service, plus Netflix. I found I was watching either Netflix or ESPN, so the loss of a load of channels I never watched is neither here nor there.

Re: Will you leave Virgin Media if BT Sport Doesn't arrive
It's a no from me. Not bothered about sitting in watching sport when I could be out enjoying the world around me.
Oh and by the way, what's all this I'm hearing about BT sports and whats happened to ESPN?? 
Cheers

Re: Will you leave Virgin Media if BT Sport Doesn't arrive
Yes, already left this morning, not just because of BT sport but also Sky Atlantic Universal HD etc. Also because received a cheaper combined deal with BT/SKY.
Sky especially, got 25% discount for a 12 month period

Re: Will you leave Virgin Media if BT Sport Doesn't arrive
I'm going to change my view and say if I can get a good offer from Sky then I'm going to go. I do like the service despite all Virgin's faults but this situation does put me in a good negotiating position for a month.

Re: Will you leave Virgin Media if BT Sport Doesn't arrive
Not only do not want to leave but cannot as my block conditions include a ban on dustbin lids and would never ever join BT for anything again.

Re: Will you leave Virgin Media if BT Sport Doesn't arrive
For a £9 investment in a GroupOn voucher which gets refunded off your first Sky bill, you can get 50% off for 12 months. Sports, Ent extra plus and multiroom is £36.50 per month, rising to £38 in September and 40gb infinity and landline is £30. Total of £68 a month and I currently pay £89 plus I'll get BT Sport downstairs, SS 3 and 4 in HD and Atlantic.
I think I'm going to go. I'll be back in 12 months or to moan when the weather gets bad and the TV doesn't work!

Re: Will you leave Virgin Media if BT Sport Doesn't arrive
I had cable since cable and wireless days and then NTL bought it and finally re-named Virgin Media..i think since 1998, because i remember seeing LIVE TV!
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 £62. 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...

You say more channels, but lets be honest here, most are total crap, same on Virgin! Ok VM will miss BT Sports as it stands at present, but never say never, if i were you i'd wait till the start of the EPL, then you have their BB, not a patch on Virgin imo, so all in all you'd be moving basically for a better price i'll give you that, and you'd get BT Sports, but if you aint that bothered about the footie then if it was me i wouldn't entertain all the hassle of moving, just my thoughts of course.

Re: Will you leave Virgin Media if BT Sport Doesn't arrive
If you want to go, and you are getting the deal you want, you should go.
