BT TV offer £20

JustAnotherSaver

My 18 month deal is up at the end of April 2020 and today i receive an offer from BT:





I currently have my TV, broadband & phone line with them.


I'm happy enough to stay with them, even for 24 months, but i'd want a broadband deal to stay as well. I don't want to accept a TV offer only for broadband to go up in 4 months time.
I contacted their Live Chat who seem limited - they thought this was a BT Sport offer i'd been given.


It also seems i'm not paying for line rental (i pay up in full usually).


Is it too early to try and get some deal to incorporate broadband? Have any of you successfully done it this far in advance of the end of your deal?


Regards the line rental saver - would you sit it out until the end of April or would you pay up 12 months again in full at this stage?

Only BT can really answer whether it's too early although I'd have thought they'd be happy to tie you down for 2 years for both. Is the Amazon Prime for 2 years too or is it a monthly rolling add-on? If 2 years then don't forget the price goes up £5.99 in 6 months. I personally wouldn't pay line rental saver as people always tend to get things out of sync which makes negotiation awkward in the future.

Don't forget that the Sky & BT deal where Sky get access to BT Sports and BT gets access to Sky entertainment channels kicks off on 29/01/20 so there may be better offers then.

Your BT members page should show you what you pay ALR etc .
Always best to phone and speak to BT UK .

It says it's for 6 months. Not that i'm bothered. I've had Amazon Prime before and don't really bother with the TV side of things. Netflix suits me better.

That's what i was thinking - i had that situation once before.

I've been keeping tabs on Sky and their deals don't really seem to beat BT.

Maybe their all singing all dancing deals do but then i don't ever look at those. We don't watch a ton of TV so a basic package does us. BT's internet appears to be better (i've been with Sky once & BT twice).

Where did you get the date from? As when I spoke to Sky retentions yesterday to start the cancellation ball rolling they had no idea when it was, and obvs no prices.

It was Sky retention's talking to a work colleague of mine.

Well may or may not be staying with Sky.


So far though 128 people don't know anything about Virgin Media.
