So i left sky a few years ago and went over to BT for all 3 services (Telephone, Broadband and TV)
I want sure at first but after some time i really liked the service, the BT TV Box was excellent and so was the content.
Two weeks ago out of the blue a guy rings from carphone warehouse asking what i got and how much i pay, maybe he could save me money?
At this point i should have done what i always do and said "Not interested" and ended the call, but i didnt :/
I was paying BT £51 a month for everything
So he matched it like for like with sky for £45 and said i would get more channels.
We went through with it and i received emails of my order, at this point i realised i had no sports channels at all now? obviously i got BT Sports for free as i had my broadband with them.
I rang sky direct and explained whats happened, feeling sorry for me they gave me a 63% discount and added sports for £55 a month.... ummmm
But i wont get BT sports.... something that caused friction with my son who watches UFC, MotoGP and Champions League football all of which are dedicated BT shows
Today my new Dish and Sky Q box got installed... all new shiny modern tech, great!
whats this... no HD channels?
So back on the phone to sky... adding HD means i have to upgrade my package to include box set etc and the HD option is seperate for normal channels and for sports i would need both.
I said to her why is HD an option, who buys HD TV and has a SKY HD box but doesnt want it? it should be standard :/
This adds another £20 a month for a new total of £75 a month??
Hang on a minute.... i was paying £51 to BT and very happy, now im stuck in an 18 month contract that i dont need or want for either £55 or £75 with HD that i had for free with BT
So... ive decided to cancel as im in the 31 days cooling off period.
Question is, in the T&C its says i will need to pay for any services used and costs incurred up to that point.
Does this include the cost of the engineer fitting the new dish etc? what costs will i have to pay for?
