BT Sport

I'm just yanking your chain, MagicalBarnes.

You'll be able to find out more come the end of July, sign up for updates here.

Absolutely. Although I can't knock Sky too much; they have subsidised my sky viewing for three years now because I keep threatening to leave.

The next challenge is Sky Sports. I cancelled it in May and I'm hoping they throw some offers around to limit the expense when the season starts. With their prices going up in September, it's going to wack the bill up for sure.

How did you manage that? When I binned sky expecting them to offer me a deal they told me they had stopped doing that - and we're talking several years ago, plus I was paying for pretty much every channel so it wasn't as if they were only getting £15 a month off me.

They gave me 50% for 12 months off when I took voluntary redundancy. At the end of 12 months, I rang up parped something about being on a lesser wage and they extended it for another 12 months. Then, a month before it was due to run out, I said I'm off to Virgin and they gave me another 12 months.

Now I've taken my phone and broadband over to BT, I might ring them and say I'm going onto BT Vision and see if they can give me anything else.

Honestly mate, ring them up. When you say you want to cancel, they'll say 'no problem' and put you through to the cancellation team. They'll offer you something to stay. Now, dependent on what you want out of this, either take that offer or say no. They might even go back in with a better offer.

I don't think there is anyway they will not offer you anything, such is the competition at the moment. What package have you got?

My only word of advice: you've got to be prepared to get rid. There is a tiny chance, they'll call your bluff but I've had mates go all the way through with it, cancel it and then they contact you offering you something else.

If any of you do decide to go to BT to get BT Sport, make sure you sign up through a cashback website.

I've just got £84 coming my way for signing up.

[Baracus]

Ok. Jamie. So how much will you get out of it?

[Muddled]

. £12.50, but only after you've made £10 yourself.

Easiest £84 I've ever made. Just sharing the love.

I went through all of that, told them I was leaving and they said fine. Apart from regular junk mail they've never even contacted me to try and get me back.

Forget them Peter, they were never good enough for you anyway.

Eek.

Get a boss new deal from Krade, mebbe? Or have you quite rightly ****ed them off?

A dog with your level of perceptiveness is wasted on this site

Nope paid them (plentifully and) regularly by DD or whatever for 4 or 5 years.

Never had any issues except I think they once complained I'd unplugged the phone line to the box (and that was the kids).

Everyone told me the same as you - plead poverty and they'll do you a deal but they said thanks and goodbye.

Maybe people trying this ruse were particularly prevalent at the time and they stopped doing it for a bit.

Anyway on the plus side I think I was paying about £60 a month so I've probably saved about £3500 since we parted company.

I'm not going back but I've got BT broadband so I might give that a whirl - mainly for the rugby rather than the odd game of footie.

And taste too - not every pooch would choose a Charles Eames style recliner and footstool
