    Been on BT Business Broadband for 8 years now and was paying £24.50/month for unlimited downloads and 20mb speeds.


    Being as I run our business from the outbuildings behind our house it occured to me that if I cancel the Broadband on the Business line and sign up for the same package on the domestic phone line not only do I pay £8/month for 6 months then up to £16 I also get BT Sport for free plus I'm paying nearly a Tenner less a month.



    :D

    Doubt it being as BT Sport have sole rights I believe?

    If U have Sky and are with BT Broadband you can have BT Sport activated for free on Sky for nowt, you just go online at BT Sport and key in ya viewing card number and 24 Hrs laters it's all there.

    I had the full sky package , phone , tv , broadband , to put BT sports on to my viewing card would cost me £12 per month , On the BT website they are doing half price unlimited broadband for £8 per month for the first 6 months , then £16 there after , on sky its £7.50 per month , both have virtually same line rental costs , so for your first 6 months it will cost an extra £0.50p per month , then after that an extra £8.50 instead of £12 if I kept my broadband with sky, the BT broadband package includes the BT Sports package , I know its only a saving of £3.50 per month after the first 6 months but its better in your pocket then there's . Also a cherry on the cake with the BT deal is they are throwing in a £25 Sainsburys voucher too as soon as you have been connected, did my yesterday , BT sports on straight away , broadband swap over date in two weeks , I dont even have to get in touch with Sky , they do it all for me , a happy bunny , bring on the bike racing

    I need to get my ass in gear and switch, I couldn't be without MOTO GP. Especially MOTO 2 & 3 as the racing is superb.

    Does anyone know who the commentary team will be? Will it be Toby Moody Julian Ryder & Neil Spalding from Eurosoprt? One of the best commentary teams out there in my opinion.

    Not decided what I'm going to do yet. I kinda resent paying extra money to Virgin just to watch what is essentially an advertisement for bikes, tyres, and whatever else Dorna get paid to punt.

    I have the same problem with Sky / Cable. They charge you a handsome fee each month to pipe sh*tloads of adverts into your house. Surely if you're going to pay for something then you have the adverts removed? If the TV service is free then the adverts are acceptable.

    The trend now is to double-dip and it feckin pisses me off.

    From Crash,net

    Former British Eurosport commentator Toby Moody will not be part of the new BT Sport MotoGP coverage.

    Moody wrote on his Twitter page (@TobyMoody): “Hey Twitter followers; I wanted you to hear direct from me that I will not part of the UK commentary line-up for MotoGP in 2014. I've worked on MotoGP for 18 years, something I'm very proud of. I'll still be around so will see more great racing. I will return to a TV screen near you very soon; you guys will know first when I do. Thank you for all your support. Plenty of voice left!”

    BT Sport has acquired the exclusive live MotoGP broadcasting rights for the UK from the start of this season, ending coverage on both the BBC and British Eurosport. BT is yet to announce its commentary line-up, with familiar voices from the Eurosport, BBC and Dorna TV coverage among those linked to the new project - including Moody's long-time broadcasting partner Julian Ryder.
