Well lets see what happens rather then make assumptions.

I think he meant...they don't offer evenings and weekends for free (they did a few years ago, when i had them)
Now it is just weekends, you pay for evenings

Not true - when I rang them last week to see how much it would all cost, they offered me unlimited evenings and weekend calls for £2. You just can't place online.
Just seen above - my bad.

3. It could also be a problem that technically the advert is only applicable to existing customers who have not been charged extra. If they are not charged any more than their existing charge for BB then it is free. If they are new customers then it should only state it is provided "at no extra cost" as it is dependant on them taking out a chargeable service.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Here is the message I get visiting the site as a SKY broadband customer.
Just noticed when posting the image URL that the end part of the URL reads:
BT_Sport_banner_Sky_IP_Targeted
So Virgin customers visit the site and get a message trying to get them to switch from Virgin to BT. SKY customers visiting the site and get a message highlighting they can actually get the channel on SKY.

To clear up the confusion, I refer back to my earlier post:
Quote:
Sky Phone packages are: Weekends: free, Anytime: £5
BT Phone: Evenings & Weekends: £2, Anytime: £7
|
I meant to say Sky not BT. Sky only offer Weekends or anytime, no evenings and weekends package.
I should know we just switched to BT with evenings and weekends package 2 days ago!

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Just been speaking to one of the BT Online "chat" advisers and I've copied and pasted the info below, Just trying to act a little daft as if I don't know I would order it through Virgin I just wanted to find out their response.
Kate: Welcome to BT, the most complete broadband provider. My name is Kate.
Kate: How may I assist you with your order today?
Kate: Hi Paul
Paul : Hi, can you tell me how I can order BT sports on Virgin media or do I have to order it through them
Kate: Sorry BT sports are not available on virgin platform
Paul : is it going to be available at all in the future?
Kate: Sorry we have no inform available on that, but as far as we are aware Virgin media have no plans to provide our channels on their platform
Paul : Ok thank you for your help
Kate : Thank you for speaking with BT, Please press the "X" in the top right corner to end this conversation
