cost effective phone/internet/digital option...

Hi,

Can you help. I am about to loose my company paid for internet connection (BT business), so I have to sort for myself. I currently have the BT Business Broadband, Sky TV, and Virgin phone... the dilema: what do I do for most cost effective internet/phone/sky solution. Any ideas?

    if you gave some idea of how you use what would help people in suggestions..

    i.e download loads of things/ online gaming etc not going to be any good with the free sky base package etc..

    so depends on your phone usage.. internet usage.. what channels you want to watch..
  • Ok,
    Broadband: for general internet use, no game playing/film downloads
    Sky: Sky + full package
    Phone: minimal use, uk private only

    Hope this helps...

    Have you priced up the lot (including mobile) with Virgin?
    You could have TV XL, Home Phone lowest option (but then you pay for the calls you do make), Broadband L (10mb I think) and then get your mobile chucked in as well.

    Sure they would do you a deal on all of that.

    If Sky have LLU'd your exchange then they would be the cheapest option, assuming you took Sky Talk free as well.
    Check you exchange status on
