keep BTline rental or take it to sky?

Sam1903

well as we are getting an HD tv have bitten the bullet and about to sign up to sky hd (new customer) broadband and calls.
Not sure if we need unlimited BB and if we need it is it worth taking our line rental over and get the unlimited free for 6 months.
Can anyone out there help
Thanks Sam

You don't have to get broadband and calls package from them.

I have skytalk line rental and o2 broadband (£60 cashback & 3 months free works out cheap as chips!).

Sam1903

i was going to get whole package as thought it would be cheaper
cashback£100 and if take line rental get bb free for 6 months but worried as always had line rental with bt and as wondering if others kept line rental with bt or tok to sky for offer

Take the line rental but get broadband through o2.

6 months free + 6 months @£10pm = £60.

o2 - £10pm x 12, less £60 cashback, less 3 months free = £30 for year. Plus o2 broadband is faultless for me.

Sam1903

so take sky tvhd=£28pm with £100 cashback

o2 for bb we are with aol at present but when i looked said £15 pm with 18 month contract where does it show £10 pm
telephone line and calls presently with bt where would be best for these?

It's that price for o2 customers only, sorry should have asked whether you have o2!

Have a look at this page http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/phones/cheap-broadband?dd

That may not work on all exchanges as Sky are moving lines to LLU and any broadband other than Sky's will not work on the line. Read any T&Cs carefully because if you have signed up to O2 you could find the service cancelled when your line rental moves.
