Was going to leave - is this the best deal they will offer me?

Hi,

I'm currently on a 2 mix (£20/month) package with £5 Sky Talk and £10 Broadband Max. Coupled with the BT line rental at £13, I need to save some cash so phoned up to cancel. I have been with them 2 years.

They offered me free line rental for a year and Sky+ free, with a £60 installation. They didn't offer me any discount on my monthly bill, but said that if I drop to broadband Mid I can save £5 a month.

However broadband Mid has a 40gb/month limit, which I may be near. So I emailed tech to ask my monthly usage and they replied saying Sky has no way to know how much data I use! So does this mean that the 40gb is not enforced anyhow?

Q is - should I give it a go again and push for more, or bearing in mind I don't have premium packages (movies/sports) is this as good as I'm likely to get? Also will I get into trouble fast if I use 41gb?

My alternative is to drop to freeview & take out 02 broadband at £7.50 (unlimited) but I still have to find another call provider at £5 and then have to pay BT rental at £13 so with this, I'm getting Sky TV which I enjoy for very little more. I can sell my Humax Freeview PVR to pay for the Sky+ install.

Cheers guys,
Greg.

I am on the mid package due to not being able to get anything close to the adsl2 speeds.

On other providers I probably managed anything up to 100gb a month on them and can only guess that i use more than 40gb now, but probably not near the 100gb anymore as I am barerly on my PC due to work and home commitments.

I get under 8mb on the max, so I figure mid won't be much of a loss speed wise.
