All in one packages

I currently have NTL and Sky TV, am on NTL broadband and 24/7 phone.

I am looking for the cheaper way to have sky+, broadband and 24/7 phone. Sky are coming out with their own full package. Does anyone know if this is a cheaper way to do things, on the face of it, it seems to be.

I understand it to be if they move my existing box to another room and I get sky+ installed then installation is free. On top of the TV package cost, BT line rental is £11, 24/7 with sky is £5 and broadband is £5 for mid pack

Any other ideas would be appreciated

Carrie

    Welcome to the MSE forums carrie_uk.

    £11 for BT line rental + £5 for the new Sky Talk package + £5 for Sky BB mid pack comes to £21 per month in total.

    Is that more or less than you are currently paying NTL?
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    At the moment I am paying sky £43, NTL phone and TV £45 and broadband £25, so it is cheaper.

    I would be paying £53 for sky+ package and £21 for internet and phone.

    Does anyone know anything about these new sky packages?
