Perhaps may be announcement in budget - infrastructure expenditure - upgrade faster broadband speed, it's certainly needed !

Hey you sound like an ideal NowTv customer - box costs £20 or so , no need for box if TV already has it installed, then pay per month as needed for Sky entertainment,sport, films, kids TV. Sport you can pay for a day or a week. Check out their website maybe.
I'm just a customer by the way -not a salesperson. Aerials and dishes are so last year - streaming on broadband way to go -Plusnet charge me £3 a month (plus ~£190 annual line rental) for 20Mb/s copper wire ASDL2+ broadband plus free weekend phone calls (ie a landline number) plus £5 a month for mobile calls (permanently at home - our landline phone replacement).

The US regulators important move yesterday to abandon net neutrality could be influencing this share today.
It is seen as being good for broadband providers.
Gives them more scope to control prices.

It must be potentially good for BT if it influences our regulator here.

Its £31 a month for Sky customers plus £20 activation fee (after initial 3 months free) which is why as a Sky customer I don't have it,to my knowledge there are no deals on this.

£31 a month- where did that come from?
After 6 months it goes up to £5 a month - at which point , as is my wont with Now TV, Amazon and Netflix I'll cancel it -unless they give me an extension at or near the £1 per month level. They all do deals,just take the best one or two on offer each month.

I got rid a few at 250.6p - been buying the falling knives. Still, I am keeping quite a few I bought last week. The higher interest rates will help....

Nicely up today, makes a pleasant change.

Maybe there's some good news due in the budget at lunchtime, and someone has got wind of it?

I agree its a very good service but would you pay £31 a month for it?

Way to expensive imo.

[smurfy2001] 22/11/2017 09:40

Keeps banging it's head on long term support.

[charles clore] 22/11/2017 09:30

Miracles happen!

[younasm] 22/11/2017 09:28

Up 2p - what happened??

[tonio] 22/11/2017 09:12

Well I've finally watched something on BT Sport - Sevilla vs Liverpool - as Plusnet have given me 6 months at £1 per month for being a mobile user or somesuch.
I was a bit worried about the knockdown price - but I guess its only like NowTV or Amazon making come-on offers to get viewers interested - I'm an optimist (ie BT shareholder).
Great HD picture on a Sony TV via Chromecast, initiated from my Chromebook.A full use of broadband streaming. Great game and they've got Gary in charge of the discussion - just like watching BBC! I was very impressed - and the Test Matches start today.

Decent enough article in the Guardian on the price companies, in this case Amazon, are willing to pay for TV content

[stewart64] 21/11/2017 09:15

BT's in drift like the FTSE, marking time on the outcome of the budget and whether we have finally come up with enough cash to move forward on Brexit. Pessimism reigns on both counts with an incompetent Tory Government and Dr Doom Hammond.

[cdub1] 20/11/2017 20:52

The consensus I have been reading in the news is 9 p/e ratio. Perhaps that's Italian Job and football rights figs adjusted? These 2 factors are enough to batter recent eps alone.

[montyhedge] 20/11/2017 19:15

Cdub1P.e 9 what figures you looking at, eps 19.20 so yes p.e 9 with the shareprice at 185p lol.Should know shortly on pension liability what they plan to do to reduce.

[cdub1] 20/11/2017 17:36

Lol Monty predicted this decline and now his ego has gone way out of control, but this is now in massive oversold territory IMO, don't get me wrong the company has made silly decisions probably the worst being the football rights, but this failed strategy can easily be dropped in a whim, hell I reckon if BT lost the football rights this would be above 350 in no time whatsoever.

We're now at 9 P/E ratio and the company is still making a solid profit and has plenty of cash, the current price is at inflation adjusted Great Recession levels. It's ludicrously cheap.

This is no Marconni or Enron, BT is still a household name, it's a massively relevent company with a huge mobile network and if BT just focused on the basics- the telecommunications rather than this quad TV nonsense it would be back above £4 in no time whatsoever.

This is a classic example of why you should never stick your fingers in too many pies.

[toon1966] 20/11/2017 09:32

The self proclaimed No.1 Trader Montyhedge stated a few weeks ago that the share price rises 9 out of 10 times on a Monday morning during what he called amateur hour between 08.00-09.30. I'll let you work out what's actually happened.....

[wllmherk] 20/11/2017 08:43

.......and yet we are down again, these small daily falls are tough to watch, would prefer one big fall then a recovery. I'm down about 17% on initial investment and as my biggest holding these are tipping me into a negative YTD figure.
I bought these and CNA for their defensive qualities but, they have proved to be anything but defensive, 2 worst performing investments of 2017.

All the above doom and gloom priced in ,been around for months

[essentialinvestor] 19/11/2017 11:57

Corbyn does not hate BT ).

[careful] 19/11/2017 11:46

Todays Sunday Times (Murdoch/Sky) usual anti BT article is full page about the tie up between City Fibre and Vodafone.
Lots of new investment by them and others laying fibre cables for fast broadband.

'...wants to give BT a kick up its broadband' headline.
Complains about BT's 'slow progress' etc etc.
the Sunday Times often gives space to an anti BT rant for obvious reasons to do with SKY. I even look for it now.

It seems everyone hates BT the market leader and wishes to steal its assets with the help of the regulator.
Talk of a utilities tax of 0.5% of revenue elsewhere.
It seems to be a perfect storm for all utilities, hated as much as the banks and oils.

We are in the eye of a storm here, terrible sentiment.

Only a few % away from 2.35 atm.
