    Got cut off just now, my last billing date was the 1st March and I signed up for the three months on the 30th of December. Exactly 90 days from that date would be tomorrow. I bet they just cut me off today to stop them seeing the matches on today. Otherwise I don't see how they would come up with the 29th?

    Sorry but don't want read back trough all the pages can someone please confirm setanta are showing all 4 days of the master this year as I am a sky customer but don't have sports pack and was going to get it for the masters. So I'm thinking setenta will be cheaper plus they have gaa. So if I sign up today how much does it cost and are there an deals going thanks.

    Well Sky have it this year, so I would be very surprised if BT have it as well.

    They count the day you sign up as the first day.It's a bit like booking a week in Spain & the first day of the 7 is actually travelling there.

    I rang them the other day as my €9.99 for 3 months was coming to an end,they told me the only offer was €12.99 for 2 months...no dice,I said that "my mate rang & got 3 months @ €9.99",put on hold for a minute then got the 3 months @ €9.99 again.

    Still don't really understand. If it's inclusive with days then should I have had it until midnight last night? If 30th of December was the day I signed up. I don't know why exactly they cut it off for the whole of the 29th to be honest. But I feel as if it's to stop the service before those games. To be honest, trying to figure it out makes my head hurt and I might be wrong but I feel as if I should have had it until today.

    I would probably still have it if it weren't for them acting like 12.99 was the only offer when I could read on here that others got 9.99. 12.99 is a good enough deal too, it's just the principle really for me. As expected, they rang back again right before the time was up to say now they have a new offer back again of 9.99. It's obvious that different operators have different strategies, i.e. some people just offer the 9.99 outright, others try to push 12.99 hard but then eventually fold after a conversation with their supervisor, who seems to be made out of fresh air. I was unlucky as I got a right saucy wee lass who wouldn't give me the 9.99 at all and let me cancel but then a month later when she realised she was dealing with someone more stubborn rang back to offer 9.99 but at that point I was happy to lose it after seeing the games coming up. Maybe in the old days when each customer didn't know what other customers were getting offers wise they were more succesful with this tactic but when I can read on here that several people got a 9.99 offer then obviously I'm going to want that too. Anyway, I think I've bored everyone enough talking about the 9.99 offer on here, well I'm certainly boring myself at this stage. I think I'm just distraught that I won't see Baker and Kelly's VSPO ever again.

    i renewed by setanta sub on the first of Jan got the three month offer for €9.99 a month, i gave in my notice to cancel on the 24/2/14 and my sub got turned off today the 31/3/14. So fair enough.

    will ring back on the 3/4/14 as i want to see the end of the rugby season and the premiership final is on the 31/5/14 so i don't want it turned off that day and the 1/6/14 is a sunday so it should go off on the monday the 2/6/14.

    Nothing i want to see on bt sport over the summer.

    Just rang to cancel.....disconnection date may 13th . Was offered 16.99 for 2 months wasn't interested, after a minute more of small talk was offered 12.99 for 2 months. I'm not really interested in keeping sub as I watch fun all TV during summer, but there wasno 9.99 offer coming today anyway.
    I'll wait and see if they call before the sub is up

    Just got a call from setanta offering me 9.99 a month for the next 3 months. I declined and she then offered 4 months at 9.99. I'm actually really tempted :/

    Is that 9.99 per month or 9.99 for the 4 months?

    9.99 per month so half the normal price.

    The setanta deal is bt sport 1 and 2 and ESPN aswell as setanta Ireland and setanta 1. I think it's for existing customers but I'd ring then up because they are very open to negotiation. Say something like in interested in subscribing but I can't really afford 20 euro a month. Play up the fact that the PL season is almost over and then ask is three any deals going. You will very likely be offered this deal

    What's all this talk about the football being over til August? It's usually June/July when Setanta's coverage of football starts. This is an Irish forum yes? Or am I on boards.co.uk?

    Most people are referring to coverage of the English Premiership. As there are only 3 round of games left (a couple of teams have a game in hand) then effectively the football as we know it will be over in a couple of weeks and wont start until mid August again

    Can this thread not be closed. As the title says 1 euro offer. New thread could be for the newer offer they have.

    I presume BT Sport will show pre-season friendlies, Man City and Liverpool games probably.

    I rang them about 4.30 today to cancel and they offered me the 12.99 deal I told them that was the deal I was on and when I told the guys in work they all laughed at me because they were all on the 9.99 deal. I was put on hold and the agent came back and offered me the 9.99 deal for 3 months.

    Do what I did threaten to cancel if you are with them or tell them that you have read online the deals that others are getting so why aren't you been offered a deal.

    I'd imagine just ringing back and speaking to someone else would be enough. These offers are available, however it can ultimately depend on the person you're speaking with.
