Bt Vision Business Customers

Following the demise of Setanta many business premises have been unable to register ESPN unless they take up the Sky Package.

This is an extremely expensive option for many small outlets,golf clubs for example, has any consideration been given to extending BT Vision to Business Customers. I am sure that many small clubs would be interested.

Hi Andrew,

Many thanks for your idea. I've sent it to the relevant department & will let you know when I receive their response.

Meantime, it would be interesting to hear any other comments on this subject.

Hi Andrew, this is a good idea. I received the following response from the BT Vision department, however I have made sure your suggestion does not go unnoticed:

'We currently don't have plans to launch a business variant of BT Vision, but we continue to review ways we can develop our service into the future.'

By the way for anyone else reading this the best way of ensuring BT stand up and take notice is to click on the Kudos image by this idea. The higher the Kudos rating, the more popular thie idea amongst other customers.

Thanks for your input.

Hi,

I joined this forum to find out about BT Vision for business customers. My situation is that I was with BT business then I moved to BT Total broadband in order to get BT Vision, I soon became disappointed with the quality of service from BT total broadband and returned to BT business only to discover that BT vision is not supported. My BT Vision box is now a brick which seems such a waste of this technology. The OP has an excellent point about providing a service to small business customers. I am suprised BT does not support this with the usual premium price for business customers. I want to add Kudos to the OP but cannot find the Kudos star!

Martin.

Hi William

I am also very interested in a business version of BT Vision and am sure BT could benefit from this market. There are hundreds of licensed premises that are paying extortionate prices to SKY for sports packages and many now are not renewing there subscriptions, thus damaging business by people staying at home. A typical package from sky can cost £900 per month. Come on BT stop this monopoly sky have on our businesses.

James & William Administrators. Please explain why BT are unable to offer BT Vision to business customers.

In this difficult economic climate every small business/club needs to make choices and by BT's current stance I cannot see how the stranglehold that Sky has over many TV areas can be relaxed. I thought that BT Vision was such a fix but it is only for homes. Come on BT stand up to Sky.

Hi all, thanks for your showing your interest in having a Vision package for businesses. I've sent your comments to the department in charge of BT Vision, their standing still remains the same as above. I wasn't given any detail as to why BT isn't likely to develop such a product any time soon so sorry if this isn't exactly what you are looking for, however I can say that myself and the other moderators will continue to monitor this thread and if any other similar comments emerge in support of such a product, we will send them through to the relevant department; the greater the desire for such a product, the greater the likelihood BT will look into developing it.

As time has now moved on, are BT Vision any closer to allowing small businesses to utilise the service?

We just cannot afford the cost of commercial sky but would really benefit from having the ability to watch the sport in our club.

Hi cheshirehealth,

Sorry for the delay in the reply.

I am afraid at the moment we have not had any further details on this. Once we have further information we shall post the details to keep everyone informed.

Thanks

Myself included, a large number of BT business broadband clients must work from home. The offer of BT vision on these services would add further value for customers and BT.

I am a small business who works from home, and would love BT to provide Vision to SME's.

Given the choice of having to buy a second broadband for the same house just to get Vision, clearly means Sky is a beteter alternative, and the main loser is BT.

BT think again!!

I have a BT Business Broadband contract and a BT Business phone line because I wasn't going to pay £200 to install a line when I coulld get connected for free!

I am very disappointed that it has now been 3 years since this service was introduced and still no offer of BT Vision on a BT BUSINESS LINE!

I am a Business and Personal customer, as I use my phone line and broadband for Business & Personal services, I currently now have BT Business Line, BT Business Broadband & BT Mobile, Am I just another sucker for BT!

Cheers

I'm the treasurer for a community football club and we would love to be able to have bt vision in our club house. We cannot afford to have sky so can't show any live footie matches which our members would love. Surely if BT were to offer this, like they do for personal customers, they would be swamped with connection requests.

Hi, Now we are coming to the end of February. 2012, have we got any update on BT letting businesses use their BT VISION? I have just bought a pub and got a monthly quote from sky of £1945 PER MONTH!!! This is just ridiculous but have no option at the present time to move elsewhere. Sunny

Hi All,

Just like to say that BT Vision for business would be a good move forward, that & HD on the standard box.

I am the commercial manager at a small football club and are looking at ways to keep supporters in the clubhouse after a game. Most disappear to a local pub to watch Sky. We have had quotes from Sky at £695 per month for the first year!!!

With a vision box we could record MOTD and play it along with other footbal related programmes.

Come on BT, do not rip us of but also do not ignore this opportunity to get more people using your services. I am looking at other internet & phone suppliers because of it, wise up, and quickly before someone else does.

You have spent a lot of money to show live football in 2013. Let us small clubs watch it with you or have Sky got you by the wedding tackle?

I own a guest house and have BT business phone & business infinity broadband. I have my own private accommodation on the premises and would like BT Vision for my own use. I have been told this is not possible, I was told that I would have to move from a business line to BT Home to get BT vision; this seems crazy that no provision is made for my type of business which is also my home!
