BT hub v Sky?

Re: BT hub v Sky?

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.

By your own admission you failed to get a satisfactory signal from Sky in a small property whereas I get a great signal from a large property. Perhaps you failed to get a decent signal some while ago and all I was suggesting is things may have been improved in recent times. Probably I should have said "strange" rather than "wrong" as I wasn't intending to doubt your word even though my post indicates that.

I doubt whether you would need a booster in a small property. I said I needed to boost my signal but that's hardly surprising given the distance between my modem and TV in one of the bedrooms.

I can't comment on Virgin as I don't own it. I had a bad experience with Virgin once when I tried to cancel my mother's Virgin account when her property was sold but that's another story.

I had virgin after sky, was still having issues with sky so swapped. The day I plugged it all in, days after having issues with sky, virgin covered the whole house. We are talking the same time period. Yes boxed are better years on but this was all at the same time.

Plenty of people in smaller houses use boosters, I know friends and family that have to because the signal gets weaker around the house.

The student let I have in Treforest is tiny, the modem must be less than 5 meters from the 3 upstairs bedrooms yet it struggles to get through the old walls….so unless you plug boosters in it barely works. Same for another bigger house I let in Heath, needs two virgin boosters upstairs

We can't surely be right. He's got a big house don't you know.

Been with BT for 5 years and it’s been really good. BB works fine and the tv package is much cheaper than sky. Currently paying £36 a month for both BB and TV, including BT sport

That’s good….I’m not fussed really as watch hardly any live Tv, mainly flix or Amazon, got Disney too. The broadband is the thing I’m most fussed about.

Like Grange, I've been with BT for years with BB and TV, never a problem, great value.

Been with BT the last few years after previously being with Sky.
I find the BT box ok and have had no major issues. The only issue I’ve had with it is the freeview channels are from the TV aerial connection. I live in Caerphilly and the aerial is pointed towards Machen. Get some buffering on occasions.
BT box also has a number of apps,(Netflix, Prime, Nowtv etc). Not bad in fairness for the price.
