Depends on how you look at it surely? I'm paying a couple of quid more for bt sport than I was for espn but I'm saving £3.75 by taking advantage of skys half price broadband offer.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

The town where I live is a Virgin Media stronghold. Almost everyone I know has Virgin Media. For the sake of my family and friends, plus my chums here, I hope Virgin do get BT Sports. Come to think of it, I don't know a single person who gets their TV from BT.

I must admit however BT Sports Premiership line-up is not blowing me away. Only 3 Premiership games per month all at 12:45pm kick-off. It's not really a spot that appeals to me personally.

I might be able to live without BT Sports.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Lets put it this way.

I am a VM customer, and l feel that they should keep us more up to date with channels, and with news that will effect us.

I am always getting that crappy mag each month, telling us what a super company it is, what great movies are coming up.

Its not me whinging about Why we have not got it. But l cannot understand why there customers services don't say ' yes we are in talks, we will be testing etc' We had the same problem with the basic package problem, then they spent a damn fortune on advertising the fact ' its always nice to make up' these were the signs going up around Hounslow.

What they going to do, tell us a couple of days before the start of the season ' we now have BT Sport' They are quick enough to tell us about putting up prices.

I can understand your frustration however Virgin may have singed a deal with BT, but are not allowed to confirm the news until the 11th hour at BT's request.

I can also understand people being worried about not getting BT sports on Virgin, and having to consider changing TV provider. Not knowing what is happening right until the last minute doesn't put anyone at ease.

I would have to say that since I left Virgin back in December, they have actually upped their game in terms of delivering channels, content and communication.

I still think that recent information slip about BT Sports on Virgins website was not an error. I'm fairly certain a deal has been done. People just need to hold on for 20 days and all will be revealed.

OMG, this thread is a bit like going to the beach with the kids in the back of the car.
"Are we nearly there yet?"
"No"
"Are we nearly there yet?"
"No"
"Are we nearly there yet?"
"No"
"Are we nearly there yet?"
"No"
"Are we nearly there yet?"
"No. Wait, it's just around the corner..."
