    If you can get cable then I'd jump at the chance to go with Virgin.

    I've only got mixed feelings about BT because I haven't used the service. Worth a try for 12 months though wouldn't you think?

    Hasn't been a decent broband since the Jackson 5.


    I'll get me coat:D


    PS £60 seems a lot can you break down your charges?
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    i love broband
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    what can i say i can't zpell .

    Charges tv £20.50 2 packs
    broadband £10
    line rental £11.25
    Call package £5.00
    Call charges £8.79
    The service we have had has been ok the main issue is cost driven

    Couple of ideas,

    Have only one entertainment pack, save £1.
    Query your broadband charge, it should be £7.50 with calls, save £2.50.
    Move to the free calls package, save £5.
    Assuming you are paying line rental to Sky see if they do a line rental saver like BT, should get it down to around £10/ month.

    Reduce the number of phone calls!

    As penrhyn says your broadband should only be £7.50 certainly query this
    If you can pay 12 months line rental in advance its currently £9.75 per month increasing 06/07/11

    the broband wont necessarily be £7.50, that price change only came in last year and the op may have signed up when it was £10, not £7.50

    Mind you, Sky are offering a 12 month half price deal at the moment. Press them and they'll give it to you. My mum did and she got it.
