Does anyone have EVERYTHING from Sky?

Options
Moving to a new house this week and we want Sky HD, home phone and an unlimited broadband service.

Thinking the best way to do all this is to ring up Sky and ask for the lot, but as I hear there is a delay in getting SkyHD installed at the moment would this mean also a delay in having the net setup and phone?

Also does anyone have this package with all the channels and the top broadband service? I have checked how much it will be a month but I reckon Im looking at about £80 p/month. That sound about right?

    I don't think there is that much of a delay for new customers for HD, the delays seem to apply to existing customers upgrading.

    In any case any delay getting the box installed shouldnt mean a delay in getting phone and broadband set up. The two are not connected and the chap who installs your sat and box does not do anything to enable the phone/broadband.

    Don;t forget to join up via your favourite cashback provider if there are any good cashback deals, e.g. Quidco is £120 cashback + £25 Tesco Gift Card for taking Sky+ HD via online signup (you may have to add the BB & Talk later as a separate transaction to qualify). Obviously you will need to do the maths to check that you are getting the best deal!

    Ask SKy if they have any deals available. You will be their favorite person
    if you are going to have the whole shebang. You are in a great position to haggle the best deal. You can also pay your telephone line rental for £10 per month. You might even get this free for a year if you really try.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
