Support is very strong here. Can it hold?

[griffinred] 22/9/2017 12:23

Essentialinvestor, it's a great offer

[essentialinvestor] 22/9/2017 12:15

Checked that Plusnet deal, very attractive.

Still expensive p.e 14 for ex growth utility company.

Helped by the UKX mini rebound.

In terms of a crash, £5 down to £2.76 is crashy!.

Bulls doing a great job, holding this atSupport level of 282p.

[essentialinvestor] 22/9/2017 11:02

Never thought of Plusnet as assumed it would just be the BT rate.

I pay £21/mth for fibre broadband which includes line rental and free calls package.

[smurfy2001] 22/9/2017 10:51

Come on crash baby crash.

Gavin is a Liverpool supporter, hope BT turn out better than them, lol

[essentialinvestor] 22/9/2017 10:44

Griff, very nice saving, nicely done.


Monty, I took 284.13 this morning, scalp.

[montyhedge] 22/9/2017 10:42

Bulls desperate to hold at pivotal support level of 282p, I see 276p if broken.

RoseJS2 - just to remind you that BT are not the only telcomms company involved in TV. Deutsche Telekom are going to be producing their own content. In terms of Premier League rights there will be a number of packages that can be bid for which include UK and International rights. So the likes of Amazon will have to decide what would be the most appropriate package to bid for, a UK only streaming package would not make sense? Certainly be more choice over the coming years.

It's actually a little more than £15/ month saving as the plusnet deal includes line rental. The big saving is line rental.So I'm paying £1 a month less for broadband than the best BT could offer plus I'm saving £208/yr line rental (I have had to pay BT a termination fee as my contract hadn't quite expired).

[essentialinvestor] 22/9/2017 10:27

£15 a month you're saving? - is that an altered data allowance..

Seems a very large saving.

[griffinred] 22/9/2017 10:14

Meant to add, yes I know Plusnet is owned by BT

[griffinred] 22/9/2017 10:13

Always had my phone and broadband with BT. I was happy to pay a little extra for a quality service (which I've always had). Reluctantly I've just moved to Plusnet, saving something like £15/month! (I did try to haggle by the way!). I do think BT need to review their pricing for existing customers. I may well go back to BT taking up one of their offers for 'new customers', when my Plusnet deal finishes in 18 months time.

This has been highlighted over the last few months.
BT cannot compete with the likes of Amazon, so reinvest some of
the sports acquisition costs in lower broadband prices imv.
Big challenge for SKY as to how they navigate a changing market place.
If Murdoch gains control it puts SKY in a better position to compete.

Presumably the shareholder destruction has been under the tenure of GP ???

[careful] 21/9/2017 15:28

£20bn off BT market cap in 2 years.
staggering -43%.

[essentialinvestor] 21/9/2017 15:07

There are some detailed discussions on future technology re BT
over on the LSE site intermittently. Of late most topics
are Brexit dominated, so don't read there too often.

[smurfy2001] 21/9/2017 15:05

Did you forget they own EE?
