Is this package good value

gazzabhoy

Currently with Sky for everything and had a package offer from BT

16Meg unlimited broadband
Free Wireless box
BT VISION Plus box
FreeView
BT Sport
Free International Calls
Free 0845 - 0870

All for £37.35 per month. Does this look like a good deal?

Why not push for fibre in that? would that not improve the vision \ streaming side of things?

What you have to look at is what TV channels you want, and what you get now.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. But from what I understand BT Vision is just freeview with pay per view available. So to get the channels you want it could work out costing more.

As in BT Infinity? (I thought it was going to be BT Inifinity)

Its not infinity if its "16Meg unlimited broadband".

Infinity is the 38Mb and above offerings - thought make sure unlimited downloads...

I thought they offered the Humax YouView Box?
OP Have you got an aerial so you can receive freeview?

You can get phone and internet cheaper than that. The BT Sport isn't bad but you're basically just going to have Freeview + BT Sport so you'll be missing out on most of the channels you get with Sky.
