    It isn't a " rip off " because you are not obliged to pay the Sky prices.

    The charges are all upfront ..no secrets, they may not seem fair, but they certainly are not a " rip off ".

    LOL , good luck with that one given that you only get one discounted box for the 49. every HD box on top of that is 199.

    My father is an existing sky customer, but we want to take advantage of the new customer deals so we can get our broadband and phone from sky also. Can we simply cancel our sky subscription and then re apply under my name using my bank details? As the current price were paying for sky tv, bt phone and orange broadband is well over the odds.
