[Albion] bt broadband question

[Neil]

I have BT Broadband and TV for £45 and the Broadband part is £39 for fibre, now out of contract but Lightning Fibre in my area is £18 a month with a faster speed so its a no brainer.
Question I am asking is can I cancel the BT broadband and keep the TV part from BT?

Unlikely, I suspect.

The two are most probably sold as a bundle, and you can't have the TV without the BB - read you contract ...

Will BT Youview box still work with new broadband provider

Hi I am looking to cancel BT and change broadband provider. Will my Youview box still work ok as I only use it for recordings and catch up apps? I live out in the sticks and still on copper, however Airband have now installed fibre cables and have offered excellent deals.

Highly unlikely a couple[ of years back I went to renew just BT Sport and the price they quoted was more than just buying it through Sky.

I queried this and was advised they want people on both BT Broadband and BT Sport not individual packages of just BT Sport

As an aside, we have Lightning Fibre and they’re excellent.

How much drilling through walls and additional boxes were required in your house and was it done neatly? Lots of tales of fibre installs by some companies being awful botch jobs

When they did mine I wanted the ONT (the terminating box) in the lounge but the fibre run through the loft to get to it. I had to drill the holes and pull the fibre through but the techs were quite happy to help me (they aren't allowed to go into lofts).

I have to say Lightning Fibre's support is brilliant, mine went down one weekend and they had it fixed in a couple of hours.

If either of you go with them, use the referral code DG4STU and we both get a free month !

When we bought our house the previous owners already had it installed so it wasn't an issue for us. The cable runs up the outside wall, then through the wall to the office. Seems all quite neat and tidy. We have an additional two WiFi extenders. I'm never sure just how much difference they make.

I left BT but kept the youview box. Still got it and still using it.

I use the "NetSpot" app on my phone. You can walk round each room and it will tell you signal strength and speeds for both 2.4 and 5GHz WiFi bands.

Power off your extenders and see the difference on netspot.

2 Year contract has finished

The contract should still explain the terms for BB and TV

Have you read it?
