[Help] Broadband / TV package

[The Optimist]

Looking for any advice on the best options for getting a broadband / TV package.

Currently with BT and get broadband, TNT sport and Sky Sport (through a Now TV package) and my current contract runs out soon.

I don’t need a phone line, I want broadband that will support working from home including Teams meetings (no one else is normally using the internet when I’m working) and I want the football channels (TNT and Sky Sports).

Any advice on the best offers to get the above?

Thanks in advance

EE/BT avoid it's cheap for a reason ,left Sky in 14 August we were paying £150 a month worst thing we did . Got a deal with BT/EE for £74 a month first 3 months for £34. 14 days in live tv crashed ,3 visits and 42 days later the fault was fixed . Everything was fine until the day of the First New Zealand v England Test and the internet went down thus rendering the whole system useless ,i wanted the tests that's why we went with them. Phoned them up and told it would be 14 days to send an engineer out to look at it [not a definate fix] enough was enough we binned them sent letters to OFCOM and told them this as they demanded a £500 contract break ,their small print stated if a fault wasn't fixed in 28days you could walk away . We sadly had to go back to Sky but we got a full package bar TNT Sports for £60 a month . This is my experience i know people in the trade who say nothing good about EE/BT

That's so weird, I've had BT for maybe 7 years across 2 properties and I'll never once had my internet drop. Once I wasn't getting full speed and had to restart the router, that's about it. I also don't think they are especially cheap!

This is the problem with getting advice on the internet - every company has it's knockers.

In my experience from work - it seems that literally every time someone tells me their internet is down, it's Virgin.

Totally agree with you ,just my experience . First engineer came out and went to the broadband ,i said broadband wasn't the problem its the TV . His reply was im not involved in the TV set up . Anyway he went to the Junction box and came back an hour later telling us our broadband was now full speed,then he added strangly you were connected to someone else's Broadband . We then waited 3 weeks for a specialist team to come out and they couldnt fix the problem . The problem was finally solved when they told us there wasn't enough power coming from their end to power live TV . They were just a shambles for the 120 days we were with them it properly worked for 42 ,totally unacceptable.

I had such a nightmare with EE after switching from Sky that after about six weeks they agreed to cancel my contract without penalty. Went back to Sky.

I'm currently paying £49 a month for Virgin Broadband with basic TV package and Sky and TNT Sports.

Quite how it is that cheap I don't know. But Virgin does seem to be the best option (if you don't mind the appalling customer service). But thankfully that has rarely been an issue.
