Currently got full Sky package including Sports. Noticed that the Ashes cricket over the winter is exclusively on BT Sport. Being big cricket fans gutted it is not on Sky too.
Anyone got BT Sport and if so would it be worth paying for it on top of Sky?

I sacked off Sky for BT last year and am totally happy with my decision.

It does totally hang on what time you have to watch sport tho, I have more time free in week day evenings so BT suits as they have a lot of Champions League and European football on in the evenings.

I'm never in weekend days so Sky doesn't offer much, BT tend to have one Prem game Saturday evening which I have more chance to catch.

My advice is that if you can afford both go for it, id say if you rang up sky and threaten to leave for BT (moan about them not having champions league and the ashes!) they will likely offer you an amazing deal to stay then you can push for cheap BT. Make sure you escalate your threat to leave right to the cancellations team as they have the best offers to tempt you to stay

I also just have BT, dont really use it for Sport though.

If cricket is just on there, it is probably worth it for you.

If you're not locked in to a contact with Sky change your broadband to BT and you get Sports cheap.

That's a big hammer blow for Sky, especially as they've just re-branded their sports channels. Chap at work loves his cricket and has the large virgin package, I expect he'll get BT sport for free?

Yeah I am on about that. BT is pretty decent value for TV / Internet compared to Sky.

Unfortunately we can't get Virgin, living in Ash Green, so stuck with Sky or BT.

To be fair those speeds piss on BT, im out in the sticks (20min drive to Forest Green Rovers) and get 35-45Mb which handles online gaming and kids youtube well enough.
