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.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
