Need some advice Re: Sky

Options
Sorry, couldn't find a better place to put this...

I'm thinking of getting the phone/bb/sky package for 16 quid a month. Says on the site that a sky plus box is 99 pounds though. Anyone know if i have to pay this upfront? Or all in one go?

And whats sky like generally? Anyone use them for broadband? Any probs i should be aware of? Any other advice :D

Thanks muchly.

    Yes you do pay for Sky box upfront but PM me and I'll tell you how to get round this.
    BTW it's going to be £17/month from Sept 1st plus £1 for each additional channel mix.
    As for the broadband - again PM me and I'll tell you my story as too long to go into here.

    I took out this package, cancelled my AOL broadband, sky was installed and when I went to set up the broadband was informed they don't cover my area with the broadband and added an extra 17.99 a month to cover broadband service :mad:
