Thinking of Getting Sky (All Three) Deal

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can offer any advice. We already have Sky at home and pay £18/month. We're currently with AOL for our Broadband and telephone at £15/month.

So in terms of monetary value it obviously makes sense to move to Sky. Can anyone tell me is the £17/month subject to change?

I understand there's a 12 month minimum connection, can they change the price of the package during this time?

We use the internet a reasonable amount, and I wondered if 2GB is a lot or whether we'll always go over the limit....? I know that's difficult to answer, but can someone give me an idea of what sort of usage 2gb is...

    Sky have only recently upped their prices so I would assume they will remain the same for 12 months.
    2Gb is very little, remember that every time you look at a webpage you are adding to your download limit. On the + side Sky don't enforce the cap at the moment.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    £17 is the basic 1 mix TV service.

    The broadband is the basic (up to) 2Mbit service.

    The phone is a calls package of inclusive evening and weekend calls.

    Line rental is payable to either BT at £10.50 or Sky at £10.

    Ideally you'd opt for the TV and broadband, but have line rental with BT and calls with Primus Saver 2. Though for some strange reason some people like everything on one bill even if it means they don't get as good an offer / service.
