Sky Broadband and tv only?

Can i get Sky Broadband and TV without taking up the phone package?

I need to get away from Plusnet, they are charging me way more than the £6.49 every month as i keep going over there measly usage of 10mb per month.

I am interested in a Sky package but cant take up the phone package as i am stuck in a BT contract which i took out in June, but really want a TV and Broadband package if they do one.

Anyone know if i can do this?

    Yes, I have the tv & broadband package, I pay £12.00 for unlimited broadband ( as my son is always on PS3) & £21 for my tv package. Total £33.00 / month. I too was with plusnet & had the same problem & thats the reason that I changed to sky broadband. The broadband will work out cheaper if you have the phone also ( £5 I think ) but you can do it without the phone for £12.
    Hope this helps :)
  • Thank you!

    Its a pain its that little bit cheaper with the phone too but i cant cancel my BT contract. :(

    Not really sure what to do as £33.00 is a bit on the steep side for me at the moment but there is just no decent unlimited broadband deals out there and i know Sky are supposed to be very good.
  • Rang Sky and you cannot get just TV and Broadband as you now need a Sky line and cannot do it through a BT line.

    So i have managed to come to a compromise with Plusnet and they have offered £8 a month for 60mb internet usage instead of £11.49 and they are refunding me £30 for the extra ive had to pay out for going over my original allowance.

    Also decided to get Sky TV on it own anyway too!
