Result!!

Hi, have been on the phone for a while today but have managed to

a) reduce full Sky package from £51.00 per month to £25.50 per month for next 6 months (saving of £153.00 over next 6 months)

b) reduce BT Broadband from £15.99 per month to £7.49 per month ( saving of £102.00 over next year) and

c) change phone line suppliers from Talk Talk (last bill £11.46 per month) to BT @ £4.99 (Anytime) per month with first 3 months free
(saving of about £87.00 over next year).

Should take a day off from work and review my finances more often!! Martin would be proud of me :j

  • Good work von.

    It certainly pays to ask.

    Don't forget, before you ring any company, unless you are calling an 0800 number, take a look at 'saynoto0870' to determine whether the call cost can be reduced (ideally to zero).

    What about the BT line rental (£11.54) on top of the £4.99 Anytime? Are you saying they're giving you that free for a year?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
