Confused on whats best to do when we move on 2nd Jan!!

First post on here, so please be gentle 
I am moving on 2nd January, currently we have all singing all dancing SKY, with 8 mg Broadband and free calls at the weekend, at the moment its costs around £55-£65 a month.. plus my BT landline.. I think its costing way too much... okay we may buy 1 or 2 films a month but I still think this is expensive..
My thoughts are to disconnect and reconnect as a new customer on a lower deal and get the £50 marks voucher, or maybe go for freeview and sign up to love film or something.. Problem is my partner is a football freak.. and he does love the sports channels..
Any ideas or help would be greatfully recieved :beer:

WELCOME TO MSE :-)
It all depends on what you can decide could be your "bottom line" requirements with respect of phone, internet and TV.
For example, if you went for freeview, you could get a FREE top up TV digital recorder if you sign up to Setanta Sports 1 at £9.99 per month.

This gives you similar features to Sky+ but on freeview - and you'd own the box without any monthly fee (to get the box free I think you agree to at least 12 months of Setanta).
This would then allow you to look at TalkTalk/Tiscali/whoever for phone and broadband combo packages. You may be able to get broadband and inclusive calls for under £20/month, bringing total spend before films-on-demand to under £30 per month. Lovefilm now offer a pay-as-you-go service, there are several download options, too (lovefilm, itunes etc)
It all depends which sports are the most important... and how important they are.
Hope this helps!0 -
