im with sky for all three..phone broadband and tv....i have a full tv package unlimited phone calls and unlimiyed broadband

i phoned sky up today to discuss my options about reducing my services and they said they couldnt do anything at all..very helpful lol

at present it all works out about 90 a month due to phone calls to alderney where my mum lives that are not under the free package..

is there anyway of getting all of this cheaper...bit of a noob when it comes to this..i dont want to reduce my tv as it does get used however i only use the web for surfing and sending emails never watch movies or downloads music

any ideas

thanks in advance...

Are you on sky talk unlimited seeing as you are phoning your mum a lot? If your calls are over £5 a month perhaps you should consider it.

You'll find from the link details about sky unlimited and sky freetime

Sky Talk Unlimited - £5 a month
Unlimited UK landline calls 24/7

• Unlimited calls to 20 international destinations and
  unlimited calls to mobiles in USA & Canada

Are there any channels you don't watch which you could cut? If there are some channels in the entertainment pack you don't watch you can cut some out - you don't have to take the whole of the entertainment pack.

The movie channels are now split into pack 1 and 2 so instead of paying £16 you can choose one pack and just pay £8.

There is also an option of taking just sky sports pack 1 or 2 at £9 each.

They have recently changed the broadband pack which is very naughty - I hardly ever download anything at all, however, only last week I received an email from sky stating that I was over my monthly use limit and if it happened again I would be charged - they have put a 2gb a month usage on it!
I have never had a problem before! This forced me to upgrade to unlimited and now have to pay monthly rather than have it free.

If phonecall charges are a problem, you could cut them down by using SKYPE. If your mother has a computer and both of you download skype, you could call each other on that and it's absolutely FREE!;) I use it to call one of my sisters' and it's as though she is in the room it's so clear.

Why not phone your mum's home phone using your skype from your computer? My mate uses his to phone his sister in Perth Australia, it's really cheap.

Alderney definitely is in Europe, if not the EU! It is a self-governing Crown Dependency, not quite independent! You could try 18185 for phone calls, which should cost you 1p per minute as a non BT user.

i know this you know this however you would not believe how man companies do not class alderney in europe and who do...never a problem with virgin but alas im no longer in there optic area

As someone who LIVES in Alderney I can tell you that we are NOT in Europe and NOT in the EU :eek:

We are independant and have our own governement. The head of the government is Sir Norman Browse. Our law is separate to British law and we have our own courts.

That is because it isn't! and never has been.
