As opposed to BT who, two and a half months in, still haven't managed to get my BT Sport working on their own equipment. Did get to spend 70 minutes on the phone to a nice Indian call centre last night the upshot of which was not only did I not have BT Sport, but my broadband was broken as well.

I relented and signed up for BTS via Sky and they've kindly set up two accounts for me and are sending me two bills.
Today I was on the blower to them for 2 hours and 3 minutes.
It was only humour that kept me going.
I suddenly realised the fella from Mumbai was easier to understand than the cancellations bird in Glasgow that I got transferred to!!!
Nice to see Sky with competition and they do seem to have upped their game but I'm already finding too hammy and force fed.
The game will eat itself and I'm feeding it. |  |

I've got the full BT package and it was all fine until I upgraded to Infinity.
Now I need to disconnect and reconnect multiple device in my house in order to keep receiving wifi.
I was with BT before Infinity and had no complaints at all.
Now?
Hmmmm... |  | | |

I think, as far as I can tell, my issue is that if you have a YouView box (which is what they sent me) it takes the BT Sport channel via the broadband. To do that it needs to be connected physically to the back of the home hub for the signal to be strong enough.
That would be fine, except the feckless engineer they sent to install my home hub and TV in the first place first of all said it wasn't his job to set up the TV and I'd have to do that myself, and second of all said that my main telephone socket was in the kitchen not the living room. He said that was "easy enough to change" but would "take him some time" and then proceeded to tell me how BT paid him by the job and he had a dozen other appointments that day.
Having told them when I signed up, and told the engineer when he walked in, that we were signing up for the football channels he knew that having my home hub in the kitchen and my YouView box in the other room would be a problem eventually, but of course he wanted to be done quickly so he assured me it would be no problem, did it and left.
70 minutes of pidgin English from the clueless Indian last night and the upshot was I can either run a cable through my flat to the home hub in the kitchen - totally, toally impractical and would result in my having a cable permanently going across the middle of my tiled kitchen floor. Or they can send an engineer around to do what the first engineer should have done in the first place - but for that I would have to pay a £99 call out charge.
I told him he could stick both those fcking options and come up with something better. His something better was to try and run BT Sport into my box via my wireless connection which then quickly knackered the internet connection to not only the box, but also both the laptops in the flat as well.
He then engaged in a bizarre practice where he would just go silent and breathe down the phone for 10-15 minutes at a time until I asked "do you mind if I ask what you're doing now?" and he would say something deliberately stupid like "so you want the BT Sport channels?" or "so it's a YouView box you have is it?" which in the end I got him to admit was a ploy to get me to hang up because if the cable and £99 options were out he didn't know what else he could do for me so he just tried to frustrate me into hanging up. Which eventually I did.
I've taken to bullying them on Twitter now. TBH I'd like to cancel the contract and just sign up with Sky which is what I should have done if I wasn't penny pinching. To do that though apparently I have to pay £300 for the home hub and the YouView box.

A friend of mine left BT because of the shit service he was getting from them. He signed up for infinity 2 and when he received a letter from BT telling him he would get 45m speed, the words ' up to ' were never used ( check the letter you got ). When the broadband was installed he never got more then 33-35 m speeds, but was happy with that.
After a problem or 2 he got pissed off with them and decided enough was enough, he phoned BT up to tell them they could stick there contract up there arse, IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT HE WAS ONLY 3 MONTHS INTO A 18 MONTH CONTRACT. He stopped all payments to BT and received a nasty letter from them threatening leagal action if he never payed.
He replyed to them with a photo copy of the letter they sent him saying he will get 45m and told them that if they pursued him any longer he would get in touch with a lawyer to take action against BT for breech of contract because he only ever received a max of 35m and not the 45m.
That was a while ago now and he has not heard a word from them since. |  | | |

Virgin are the biggest woman chasms of all. I swallowed a £180 cancellation fee just to be rid of them. Eeked out the payments for nearly 2 years though, in the end it got down to £15 and they just said, that'll do.
For BT Sport we just rang sky, spoke to a scotsman for 5 minutes who then suggested ringing us back to save on the bill, then it took 10 mins and some exchanging of information and voila. Think it is £14 a month though, but fck it. |  |

You need to be on the XL TV package to get it for free otherwise you have to pay for it.
If your not, it's probably worth signing up for XL to be included, might be cheaper then just adding the BT & ESPN Channels and you'll get a few more channels to boot. |  | | |

They gave me a plug extender thing which might solve your problem. You plug the thing into a socket near the homehub and run a cable from the hub to that. Then you plug another one into near the youview box and do the same and it acts as a bridge thought the wiring - ie not wireless. They gave me that kit for free. Because they were giving the youview box away free I took it for the bedroom and have sky downstairs. I have not risked adding btsports onto sky yet as a lot of people seem to have problems with that - my brother was threatening to murder someone about that the other day and there seem to be a few on here who feel the same. |  | | |

I'm thinking of reporting BT to trading standards. On their advert and through Jake "shitballs" Humphreys mouth they say you just need to have BT broadband to get the sport for free. I even got a sober person to double check it for me. However when I went online they said it is actually BT infinity that you need.
