We're currently have our tv, broadband and phone with Sky, mainly because my partner was keen to see the football that was on Sky but not on the other channels, but now it seems BT has some of those matches instead so we're looking to change. Does anyone know what the best 'packages' are which include Premier league and champions league matches? We can't get Virgin where we live as there are no cables in our particular area of SE22.We'd like to get rid of Sky -

What do other sports fans recommend?

BT only have one match every weekend, usually the early kick off on Saturday (12:30). So if he's well in to his footy, keep Sky!


And having been driven to the point of a breakdown by BT Customer Services recently, I'd not recommend them to anyone!


Although their infinity broadband is good, I'll give them that.

I have BT Sports on BT Vision which indeed has 1 game a week, normally the lunchtime game on a Saturday. Then for an extra monthly payment I get Sky Sports 1 and 2, also through the BT Vision box. As I'm only really interested in football and cricket this works fine for me as I don't end up paying even more for "Lifestyle" channels on Sky that I will never watch. If you are into golf then its of less use as they are all on Sky Sports 3, and not available via BT Vision (same with F1 I guess).


All in all though, the costs of each service are not extremely different, and the pure grief of having to deal with 2 sets of customer service departments has stopped me from even considering a switch.

    • Thank you for your reply. I have sent you a PM.  
    • It required legislation to identify the beneficial owners of properties in the UK held by overseas companies - and these still haven't been properly disclosed - ownership of things isn't just a google search away - and to suggest otherwise is not to understand how capitalism works. Unless you (cyclemonkey) do have access to that knowledge and would like to share.
    • "Mysterious owners" 😆  If only there was a powerful search engine at our fingertips to find out such deep secrets.        
    • It's the "due to commercial reasons" line again that is vexing. Last year it seemed, although there was a similar level of objection, that the reasons were commercial - Gala didn't appear entirely prepared to run 3 more events, or more likely didn't have sufficient interest from other promoters / organisers who could 'sub-let' the site as with Brockwell Park (I believe?). This year they appeared more organised, had another year to plan & prepare, to the extent they actually had names for two of the three new events which indicated to me that they had third party promoters / organisers in place.  So yes, it does make you wonder whether the repeated level of objection, combined with the impending elections, led to the council 'advising' that maybe they shelve it again? I'm afraid I can't see the whole extension application just being a ruse to guarantee permission for the 'regular' event. Gala are a commercial venture with ambition - every festival's business plan is to expand, expand, expand, year on year on year. Gala won't give up until they have taken over the whole park for a Summer of Raves, and the mysterious owners are on their yachts counting their ££££
