I think you maybe in for some disappointment.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -

ADSL broadband is markedly slower than cable broadband.
Don't forget you'll need to pay for a line to be installed.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.0 -

I called up Sky over the weekend to 'cancel' and was put through to a lovely Scottish lady who helped me get a great deal! I used to have Sky+, broadband and line rental with them for £40. In the end, I managed to get a new Sky+ HD box with free installation. The HD viewing was free for the first six months and she threw Movies into the viewing package I already have and reduced that to £17. Alongside that, I managed to get free line rental for 6 months and they also reduced my broadband to £7.50. So in total it's gone down from £40 to £25pm for six months! :j0

Has anyone had any experience of coming out of these half-price-for-six-months deals? Did you get what you were promised at the end of the six months?The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0
