BT hub v Sky?

[goats]

Thinking of switching to BT, never used them before for BB or TV.
Does BT connect through a TV aerial? Or app? No need for wired boxes ?

BT is awful.

As is sky.

Both of them can't cover a 3 bedroom terraced property, don't listen to their promises.

Had it on a 24 month contract or 18 possibly.. Live in the valleys in a terraced house its hardly a castle.. Internet wouldn't reach a few spots upstairs which is ridiculous considering what they promise.

what’s the Tv box like, you use an app or something to connect to other TVs around the house?

That must be wrong. Sky now do a more powerful modem and have boosters. I have a modem, two miniboxes plus two boosters. I have a 5 bedroom bungalow covering over 2600 sq ft and the furthest TV room from the modem is around 75ft. Unless you live in a mansion you will get a Sky signal for the TV and computer etc.

Why must it be wrong? When I had sky and bt they never reached the full house. I've had virgin about 2 years now.

Why would I need a booster in a small property? Their (bt sky) broadband is excellent, high speed etc.

Got virgin and problem solved, box in the same place reaches all rooms, the garden and out front can use it sitting in the car (as my sister often does in between jobs if she's low on data)
Now have the faster virgin Internet and it's stupidly good. BT are expensive for what they offer.

I’m waiting for the callback off sky anyway to beg us to stay, don’t know if they bother still?
A student let I have uses TalkTalk for BB, it’s been rubbish for ages, keeps dropping out and they all moan to me. I ditched them for BT this week after they refused to give me boosters that were £75 each. Low and behold TalkTalk ring me back offering me 2 free boosters, their new modem and a few quid off…..

My ex missus had TT apparently its improved but she didn't have the patience for the Indian call centres, she was always without Internet. The boosters that companies offer now are obviously a plus point so it may work out for you.

As for sky, this was a few years back but I owed 2 months at the end of my deal so could have left with the debt owing but the lovely lady on the phone one Saturday afternoon listened to my woes and I ended up getting the 2 months wiped and a new deal with half price sports and movies for a quid.
