Should I stay with sky?

Options
I just don't know what to do. I'm on the sky see speak surf package. I'm not fussed for the tv anymore. Its costing me £36 a mnth icluding line rental. Tiscali and Talk Talk both get slated on hear. Who can I go with to reduce my mnthly outgoings. Should / can I stay with sky and do away with the tv side of things? Ive got the dish now (had it 3 years) so I'll get the basic digital channels won't I? What other service providors could I consider. Just want the best braodband phone deal.

Many thanks.

Toddy

    You cannot leave sky Tv and keep sky broadband. Broadband is seen as a loyalty product.

    WHy not reduce your broadband to the free Base product and move your sky tv pakage down to the lowest one option package for £16.

    I don't think you wil get a broadband offer much lower than this and you still get some use out of the TV.

    Good advise above, that's what I did, I just have the entertainment mix and the Mid broadband package, which atm costs £21/month.
    Sky are supposedly launching their Picnic Broadband service sometime soon, so its possible that you could swap over to that and unsubscribe from the TV, but its too early to tell.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
