new home- where to start with internet/sky+ etc!?

louisa81

My partner is about to move into his first home and wants unlimited high speed broadband, sky+ and a home phone line.

Can anyone tell me what's the best way to find deals for this?

Also does anyone have sky broadband/ He currently uses BT and insists that they are the best but it's lookin greally expensive to not get a package with just the one supplier, though he'd rather pay extra than end up with a rubbish supplier! (I'm with Virgin media and have enough horror stories to write a book...)

Any advice would be great!

You need to know whats available in your area try searching your exchange here http://www.samknows.com/broadband/search.php

See if their are any LLU's in your area 02 are popular at the moment and if you have a mobile contract with them you can get discount.

You can review different providers here http://www.dslzoneuk.net/ and here http://www.thinkbroadband.com/

Hope this helps get you started.

Also, if signing up for new services, don't forget to go through quidco to earn cashback...think sky are giving £70 for new customers with sky+ at the moment, and you can get cashback on phone&broadband services too.

Are there any restrictions at the flat, i.e. is there a bt line in?, is there cable available?, etc...these may limit your choice somewhat. E.g., if you connect a new phone line, bt charge £125 and you have to keep the line rental with them for min 1 yr.

Also look through the referral section as if they have setup fees if someone referres you they normally get removed and the other person gets a free month.

For example BE* referral removes the £24 setup fee as well as the person who referred you a free month.

Also Their is Sky referral section on the referral board not sure what the offers are their currently though.
