Fine tuning Sky TV bundle

Friends,

My friend currently have sky TV package with sky tv + sky sports + some extras costing him around £38
He is having landline with BT (£14) and broadband of O2 (£7.50)

So overall it cost him £60

Now just thought of fine tuning it with bundling everything with Sky.
(No virgin available at his location)

Any suggestions to make the entire bundle cheaper?
(sky tv + sky sports + landline + broadband)

    Leave it as it is but go for the BT line rental saver and pay the equivalent of £10/ month.

    I would recommend against budling, it reduces flexibility. Taking Sky broadband calls and line rental removes you from the BT network, if in the future you wished to change ISPs you would have to move back to BT.
    Sky unlimited boradband and calls is £7.50, so no less that you are paying now.
    In the event of a line fault you now go to direct BT, if you were with Sky you would ring them, they would call BT Openreach to do the work.

    Maybe a few less entertainment packs?
