I currently have a Sky package costing me around £65 per month (includes Netflix) and my BT fibre BB and BT Sport costs around £75 per month.

My Sky package contract ran out back in June and my BT package will end shortly, I had a quick look at BT TV and I can get more of the stuff I'd like to watch seemingly for less than what I currently pay Sky and some, however I don't have any experience with BT TV and how reliable or not it is. I've got 300Mb fibre which looks to have been demised so I will probably be switching that also.

Any help appreciated.

Not loads of use to you but i have just looked at exactly the same thing.

I have BT internet and phone £40ish and Sky full pack £65 with some mini's.

Sky was coming to an end in December so asked what they could do and they could do £95 a month for another 18 months, I didn't want to pay that much so got onto BT and it was circa £70sih by the time I added Netflix premium etc.

I decided to play the long game with Sky as I haven't got an aerial at home either and have ended up staying for £67 I think it is.

My biggest issue was the multiroom, BT don't have a good offering for it currently.

Thanks, I have a Sky mini in the bedroom but I also have an Apple TV which I tend to use more and stream Netflix etc from (and I can bluetooth headphones to not to wake the wife up), so probably not a major hindrance.

Thanks

What does 'demised' mean?

Demised = the package I currently have for BB is no longer available, I can either select a slower speed or much higher.
