how do you guys rate BT Broadband?

I know they don't have the cheapest deals but they do not use traffic shaping at busy times and you get BT Sport as well. Is their service reliable?

    Cool. We will be going to the cheaper up to 17Mb option, though.


    Is BT Sport good?

    I had BT infinity on unlimited use it was gd we had by sports for 12 mths but my broadband contract was 18mths but if I wanteD by sports I had to sign to bt sports for another 12 mths - the only downside was the price as I was paying £27 a month - couldn't fault the Internet side, I've jumped ship to sky as lot cheaper had no probs so far x

    Bt Sport good depends upon what you mean by good .
    Transmission is generally excellent but far to many of those football bouts for my liking .Easy to cast via Chromecast to TV as well .

    Don't be fooled into buying the wireless boosters to avoid having a cable between router and tv box. They don't work, they can't carry enough signal. We frequently shout at the box and then reboot (:rotfl:) to get one of the additional package channels.

    I have been with BT since may. I went for Infinity which I have found to be excellent.
    BT sport is excellent as well.

    Yes BT isn't the cheapest but the BB is bang on. I was on BT BB for over 6 years at 2 different addresses and it was spot on. I then switched to BT Infinity to get the Multicast HD TV channels. So the BB's spot on, but if you can get it, BT Infinity is the dogs bollox. :)
  • BT is fine until you have a problem - I spent hours on the phone talking to their overseas call centre getting nowhere.

    BT Sport is freely available from numerous places on the internet.
