BT vision from BT TV offers a unique alternative

September 21st, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Press Releases

As hard as it may be to believe, not everyone adores television. For some it is a mere convenience or diversion and plays a simple and small role as part of their communications network. Indeed many people prefer to interact more directly with the world by means of their computer and broadband. For those people for whom 500 channels of digital TV and music are unneeded, BT TV offers a superb alternative. That choice, which coincidentally was announced at digitalchoices.co.uk, is BT vision.

BT Vision is the television arm of BT broadband. In fact subscribers to BT broadband receive the BT vision based package which includes Freeview at zero cost. As BT vision is aimed at selective digital TV viewers, specialized programming is all offered on a pay per play basis. To compare BT vision and other popular digital television alternatives such as those offered by Tiscali and Virgin TV, one should visit the Digital Choices site.

Aside from news and announcements pertaining to digital TV, Digital Choices also provides, at no charge to the public, unbiased reviews and comparisons of prices and service for the varied telecommunications products now most in demand throughout the United Kingdom. Also available free of charge at digitalchoices.co.uk is a helpful digital TV price and availability comparison tool that allows the user to find the best deal for television and broadband in any targeted UK area.

BT TV and a program for people who don’t watch much television

August 21st, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Press Releases

For whatever reason there are some people who simply don’t watch a great deal of television. For these people BT TV offers a very unique service which we will refer to as pay as you go TV.

To qualify for BT Television you must contract for Broadband through BT. Your television service is based on Freeview with an additional rate of four pounds per month added to a very low broadband base package. Still, why pay for more than you need? With BT Vision you purchase specialty programs such as movies and sports events at a reasonable per viewing price. The interesting thing about this program is that you are actually not buying cable TV as a separate entity.

You’re purchasing your cable TV as an addendum to your broadband. What this says is that how you bundle your telecommunications packages can vastly affect the price you pay. To further understand package savings on Digital TV go to digitalchoices.co.uk. At the digital choices website you will find all manner of news and information relative to prices and service for digital TV.

You’ll also find a simple to use digital TV price comparison tool. Into this tool you enter your post code and select whether you are interested in straight TV packages or bundling of TV and broadband. BT Vision is certainly not a package for everyone and those who watch the prerequisite 8 hours of television daily are far more likely to opt for plans from Tiscali or Virgin. But for those whose lives are lived primarily without the assistance of a television or computer screen, BT Vision may be a perfect alternative

BT TV finds stiff competition from Virgin and Tiscali

July 16th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Press Releases

The days when British Telecom could set a price for cable TV and command its payment are far behind us. Indeed, despite their vast financial resources BT TV is hard pressed to compete with rivals Tiscali and Virgin TV. The means by which Tiscali is able to offer packages of TV, Home Phone and Broadband for as little as £20.00 per month remains a mystery. How that little Italian company does it, we may never know. But Sir Richard Branson and Virgin TV’s methodology is as clear as Digital TV. Ever undaunted by a challenge, Virgin is steadfastly laying fibre optic cable across the UK. Fibre optics allow approximately 1000 times the flow of information per strand as does now obsolete BT copper cable. This allows Virgin TV to offer fabulous deals on TV, Broadband and phone.

BT has long promised a conversion to fibre optics on their end, even going so far as to sign a million new subscribers in 2005 on the strength of this promise. As yet that promise remains unfulfilled. Unfortunately lower priced services such as those offered by Tiscali and Virgin TV are only available in certain parts of the UK. Still that territory grows everyday and in all likelihood your street may be fibre optics ready. To find out if you can get a great deal on cable TV as well as broadband go to digitalchoices.co.uk. There you will find a most handy Cable TV and Broadband availability tool. Simply type in your postcode to learn which Digital TV companies now serve your location.

The closest thing to free line rental available

June 30th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Press Releases

A very old expression from the 1920s goes, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” The UK equivalent today would be, “There’s no such thing as free line rental.” There are great deals to be had these days for home phone and broadband, but the base price of line rental, that is the cost to have a home phone connected to your door, remains fixed at around 11 pounds due every month. This is because British Telecom owns almost every metre of copper cable strung throughout Britain. We say “almost every” because Virgin Media has strung their own wire around the UK and is on their way to breaking that aspect of the BT landline monopoly. Still Virgin does not offer free line rental and neither company has the best deal on home phone service. Which UK phone company offers the best prices and services?

This absolutely depends on where in the UK you live. Depending on this you may be able to save up to 50% on your cost for phone, TV and broadband. To discover the best deal for your city, visit Homephonechoices.co.uk. There you will find reviews and price comparisons for all communications services available in the United Kingdom. At Home Phone Choices you will find a handy Home Phone Price Comparison tool that will display all of the most competitive deals for phone service in your city and on your street. You will also find complete instructions on how to change providers and save quite a few pounds every month.

A replacement for BT landline technology is on the way

June 21st, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Press Releases

One has to give Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Media credit. No one else in the last one hundred years has had the courage to directly compete with British telecom in the area of line rental. For those unaware, most of our TV, Internet connection and Telephone service reaches our homes via a copper line carrying signals directly to our favorite appliance. Virgin TV has been actively running new, fibre optic cable all over Britain for the last decade. Mind you this was not so much to compete with BT landline business but so as to garner market share in the combined home phone and broadband area. And while BT has promised us all high speed fibre optic connections for over five years now only Virgin has been laying the superior infrastructure that light speed communications requires. And for all of this, neither of these two industry giants offers the best deal on TV, home phone, broadband combinations. That first place award goes to the Post Office and its Post Office Home Phone Service. As discovered in the award winning consumer assistance website Home Phone Choices, the best deal currently available in the UK for home phone and broadband in a package is from the Post Office. A complete comparison showing facts and figures can be found at Homephonechoices.co.uk. Bear in mind that this area is extremely competitive so you will want to avail yourself of the entire Home Phone Choices resource to do a price check and service comparison for your location.

Excellent values in digital TV compared for you

June 13th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Press Releases

I am slow to admit it but I am well old enough to remember the days before cable TV existed. It seems as if I can still hear my father exclaiming, “Who on Earth would ever pay to watch television?” This statement becomes all the more ridiculous in the face of 1000 channels available through the cable in the form of digital TV.

A sidebar to this is that I still cannot imagine the demand that exists for satellite radio and hear myself exclaim, “Who on Earth would ever pay to hear radio?” Still, I understand why we all love digital TV and are willing to pay for so much entertainment. But before anyone signs up with a TV provider, they should examine all of the great deals that are currently available for TV, broadband and even home phone service combined.

To do this, waste not a minute looking at brochures or advertisements. Scoot right over to Digitalchoices.co.uk. Digital Choices is the latest offering from the consumer choices group and as with all of the CC network websites they are devoted to showing UK residents how to save great deals of money on services sold everywhere in Britain. They even provide the low down on BT TV, and pther top providers.

Smart comparison of home phone and broadband service

June 12th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Press Releases

Why would anyone want to go through the bother of changing home phone providers? Isn’t it true that most of the companies offering line rental and call plans are all priced within a pound of each other?

Yes, this is absolutely true. On the surface it would seem that switching home phone companies is not likely to save you much. But there are conditions under which you might not only save around £20.00 per month but may very well receive far superior services in the bargain. The key to saving money on your home phone is to bundle your service with other needed or desired communications comforts, like those would be both TV and Broadband service. So if we factor in Line Charges, Monthly Call Charges, Amount of Broadband speed we want and Number of TV channels we end up with countless options for better deals. And to be truthful they are a bit too much to calculate. With this difficulty acknowledged we turn to our friends at Consumer Choices website Homephonechoices.co.uk. At Home Phone Choices you can approach saving money on all of these services from two directions.

The first is a simple Home Phone service calculator. Simply type in your Post Code and learn who has the lowest prices for Phone service to your home. Or you can browse the categories and pages of Homephonechoices.co.uk and compare the various components of service offered. Many people prefer Post Office Home Phone service for the simple reason that you can pay your bill in any Post Office location. Home Phone and Broadband are both included in one price of just over 20 pounds. At that price it is almost like getting free line rental. The key to all of this is to visit Home Phone Choices and see for yourself how easy it is to nearly cut your Home Phone bill in half.
