Phone, TV, Broadband

Having looked at it, we're paying about £100 MOnth for the three!

Sky (including MOvies and sports) - £45 (approx)
Broadband (2MB) - £17.99
Phone - £11 line rental + maybe £20 ish on calls

Broadband and Phone are both with NTL, and TV with Sky.

Surely there must be better value available?

Suggestions?

 

I am stunned you pay that much and have your eye so off the ball!

Sky can do you a basic tv package, phone and broadband for 26 quid a month, with your line rental making it 37 quid.

Just do a very basic search MO, you must have to much money or something!

 

I'm with NTL for broadband and phone. I get local calls free and 2MB broadband all for £19.50 a month. I make all calls to 01 or 02 numbers via Skype cos I paid £10 in December and got the next 6 months 01 or 02 calls free. So basically I'm only paying line rental for the phone and no call charges.

 

Have a look at these:

The virgin lot seems to be a con of the highest order. i.e. only good prices for TV if you take a virgin mobile contract. And the link you have there does not have a package for tv, phone and broadband.

Sly, but a bit underhand none the less.

Unless I am missing something?

 

They'll be changing those channel listings by the end of the week as well cos they're losing Sky 1, Sky Sports and several other Sky channels at the end of February.
However here's the link Garyi couldn't find.

Thanks Bob, I take back what I said then.

Although it would seem the Sky package is better and cheaper, plus you keep sky 1 etc.

It makes no difference to me I ditched Sky because I get all I want from freeview.

 

Far from having too much MOney, and MOre like eye not on ball.

Thanks for the replies.

Looks like we'll be better off switching broadband and phone over to sky.

We'll need to switch the phone from NTL to BT which I think is free.

 

Has anyone any experience with Sky's broadband service?

 

I dunno. I pay £35 for telephone (inc cheap/free calls), reliable and consistently fast BB and a decent (read basic) TV package. Maybe I'm missing something.

 

Well I'm with NTL and get that for £2 less and there's no cap on the BB (and I think I get more channels too).

 

I'm not sure you will be better off and make sure you're in one of Sky's LLU zones

 

Not sure what LLU means? But if you mean able to get their internet service.... I've put in a neighbours phone number and it says they can get all options. Had to use their number as have to enter a BT number.

I'm saying better off as I figure keep the current TV package and instead of paying £18/MOnth for BB, sky's 2MB package is free apart from £40 one off. Or even their 16MB package is just £10 and no one off fee.

We can also use the (free) "free time" for free evening and weekend calls, or (£5) "unlimited" for free unlimited calls.
