hopefully someone will have the package i'm looking at, i currently pay TT £30 per month for unlimited broadband & unlimited phone but its rubbish and is forever dropping out, I pay sky £27 for standard sky & enterainment package which includes kids tv and music,
For the same month i can get BT infinity unlimited fibre optic broadband, free night time and weekend calls, unlimited on demand shows?? and bt vision (films) for £52 per month or ditch the unlimited on demand shows and get rid of bt vision this knocks it down to £44 i could knock it down to 40gb download and shave another £5 off. this would also include free premiership football
Question is does anyone have this set up ??
Is it any good our ipad is forever loosing connection ?
My daughter watches disney channels (not disney movies) are these available on bt ??
If it helps, we're on BT Infinity 2 unlimited, with free evening and w/e calls, and BT Vision Essentials, free YouView box. Total cost pm £31. Line rental I pay annually in advance.
The service is good. On the internet, we've TV/YV/BD boxes connected via ethernet, 3 phones, 2 PC's, 2 tablets, and a printer connected wirelessly. The service has never dropped. The TV and YV box stream HD content fine.
It is a new development so the wiring should be OK, and judging from the pipes BT put in, fibre to the home should be a future option.
I can pay if I want to watch anything extra. BT Sports is free and I've set it up but don't watch it. Don't know about Disney.
Very pleased with it. HTH.

My advice is worth no more than the price paid for it
we are on bt infinity fttp and its ace... we run (concurrently) internet tv, ipad, netbook, laptop, ps3/xbox/pc gaming and tablet. Often we will be streaming content to 3 or 4 devices at a time... the internet sees solid, especially the "wired" devices which we connect with powerline adaptors.
we dont bother with bt vision.. we have netflix via TV when theres an offer we get nowTV which we watch on ps3, ipad or netbook
4od also on ps3
tv has built in freeview, iplayer, netflix etc
not sure about disney, we dumped sky when kids were little & they soon got used to the "free" kids channels...
I think hubby has set up sky sports on his laptop as it was free
We added BT Vision really just for the YouView box. Our Sony hard disc recorder had packed up, and it was a way of replacing it quickly, and for free.
As it happens, it's in a different league. The catch up players (BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, C4OD, Demand 5) are brilliant, and get the services on the telly, where they belong.
Our main non-broadcast entertainment is Lovefilm, blu-rays plus unlimited streaming on the TV.
Bessie, we all have different needs and solutions. If you're wondering about stability, that's very much down to the infrastructure in your area. For us, it's fine, but we're on a brand new estate, so that wiring is new, and the cable to the existing street cabinet is now fibre. I'd ask around with the neighbours, see if any have BT and how they get on.
One thing, if you can possibly avoid a broadband cap, I would. Streaming HD video it can soon mount up, although I think anything offered by BT doesn't count.

Sorry for the late response guys, thanks for the replys Mike our house is 11 years old so hopefully the cabling should be good, on the bt website its says i'm good to go with fibre optic and can get 30mb download compared to 2.5 mb standard broadband.
Oh, BTW, meant to mention, as a broadband customer you get free access to BT wi-fi hotspots for internet for your phone when you're out and about.
They also have their wi-fi Smart Talk app. I haven't used it, but apparently it lets you make mobile calls using your landline tariff over wi-fi, sort of Skype thing.
