Sky Broadband & Post Office Home Phone??

Does this combination work? Can anyone advise me.
We do not have a Sky TV subscription.

Thanks.

    Yes but why would you want it, you'll pay £12.50 for the broadband.

    Have you any other alternatives to recommend. We were until now only paying 7.50 for broadband with BE, but the package has now been withdraw and we are looking for an alternative cheap provider that doesn't have ridiculously low download limits (we barely download but I always have a fear of going over and would rather be safe than sorry)

    Thanks

    It may be that Sky is a reasonable offering.

    People have recommended 02 in the past, no experience of them though.

    What about the PO for both? I know the lite product is only 5Gb per month but it's plenty for surfing many hours a day and I'm very happy with it. Have you actually checked how much you use a month from your router stats? They also do an 'unlimited' one as well.

    The OP has their line rental with the post office, who wouldn't allow the calls to go via Sky "talk" would they?
