Yes I'm looking at subscription for Satellite Tv and broadband. What I noticed after using the money supermarket website is that BT isn't popping up much for my post code. Even Sky sef you have to scroll down. Top choices are EE and Talk Talk. Not sure if it's genuine ranking or marketing gimmick.

I added phone because I read on this thread somewhere that it makes financial sense to get it all in 1 bundle.. so...

JJC tins sha.. pls bear with me.

If you are happy with frequent occasional downtimes on broadband services, go for EE or TT.......

If you prefer a much better broadband experience with much fewer downtimes, go for BT...........

Ah ok! Noted. Thanks.

I will suggest BT as well they have affordable package for both TV and broadband. Chat dem up and see what they have for you.

I know for certain dt talk talk is only broadband and it's best you have one provider for the 2. Maybe the top.options d search is showing is only for broadband and not TV inclusive.

Sky is also good and you have naija station such as irokotv and all but den more expensive.

Questions to a yourself:

What is my budget?

How much internet speed will I require?
Will I be doing a lot of heavy usage i.e. steaming, downloading, etc?
How many people will be using the internet at the same time?
The higher the speed t more you pay, you need to determine what will be adequate for your house hold. But If have plenty money you can go for the highest speeds.

How much TV will I be watching?
Doesn't make sense having all t TV bundles when you don't have time to watch TV or add sports for s providers when you don't watch sports unless your budget is unlimited. And there is Freeview, all t just need is a antenna a a Freeview enabled TV, usually modern TVs, and a Freeview box if you want to record programs. Usually a lot of the stations o the regular bundles that you will pay for in sky, BT etc are on Freeview. And then there in nowtv, pay and watch on demand.

My oga, which VPN would you recommend? I've tried a few, but I need something with no data cap. Also can one download VPN on TV?

I use Internet VPN on my droid. You would need the modded apk file (unlimited everything).

Yea, for smart tv.........

Finally got my COS yesterday. Expected to resume June 4. Funny thing is COS had been issued to my employer since February and I was initially scheduled to resume May 14 but one oyibo woman forgot to issue it to me until I called to ask if I should start looking for another job (didn't use those same words sha)
Good thing is now I can start work on my visa.
Abeg I will be counting on the experienced guys in the house, I've not done this before. So expect some very dumb questions from me in the coming days, when you see them don't vex for me just know say I be JJC. You can yab me small I don't mind as long as you show me road, but only small yab oh.
On a serious note I will be counting on your guidance through this, don't want to make any errors. The General UK thread is full of visitors, if u ask any JJC question somebody will tell you to go and read the thread from page 1 like say I de prepare for jamb.
Let me go and prepare for "dumb question one"
Thanks in advance.

Thank you. Just got back from a trip and Oga said he decided on Virgin Media Hope we don't regret it..

I've used Virgin media for years (just Broadband, though). I had a bad experience with BT before and I swore to never use them again. All the other companies use BT's Openreach cable network, so they're all dependent on BT. Virgin has their own cable network.

Cable TV is not necessary unless there will always be people at home to watch all those numerous channels.
Freeview TV is sufficient and comes with most modern smart TVs.

With Virgin broadband 100Mbps, you can stream lots of tv stuff easily. I use Mobdro for that.

I dunno if it's legal over there, but I use Live NetTV and it's a better option to Mobdro IMO. It has both SD and HD options and lotta channels too.

Thanks. I'm planning to go for TB test this week. My challenge now is English language proficiency. I had some challenges with UKNARIC application, I had to quickly book for IELTS which was done yesterday, result expected April 20.
I don't know if the interval between April 20 and my resumption date of June 4 is enough to get my Tier 2 visa.
Someone advised I use priority but I can't get the cost of processing Tier 2 on priority from Nigeria, I'm getting different information from different sites. please does anyone know the cost of Tier 2 on priority? Thanks

U pay for priority through TLS contact. It was 184 pounds or so as at last yr. U can pay for it either as the only applicant or per each individual in a group. Don't worry once you start the application and make the visa payment. You will be redirected to their site and can even choose some additonal service.

Priority takes 5days. Just make sure all is ready and u submit ur application immediately ur result comes out.

Thanks. Its £184 on the TLS site, what confused me was the settlement/non settlement visa. I thought Tier 2 was a settlement visa.

@Sultek,make sure you are applying for the right category of visa if not,your application would be rejected,check your COS and fill the details there correctly.Remember there is Tier2 General and Tier2 Shortage Occupation.Goodluck in your application
