Have a look round for broadband deals. See if anyone will give you it free if you switch your line rental to them.

Why are you cancelling your Sky broadband?
You can cancel Sky TV and still keep Sky broadband, it will cost £2.50 / month more, i.e. £10 /month instead of £7.50.

i am cancelling to save money....it just seems to be repeats think i can manage just with like free sat channels and also every so often my broadband goes down i ring sky and tell them and they say they have fixed it but it goes back off again also the white netgear router that they sent me broke ( just stopped working) so i rang them up to see if they could send me a new 1 and they said no and that i would have to pay for a new 1 , so i had to dig the old original router out that they supplied me with when i first got broadband 7 year ago .

presumably you are still going to want internet access, mobile data plans may be insufficient for your needs

Seems a little unreasonable of them, I've had 2 replacement routers over the years from Sky, always found them helpful once the fault was established. Plenty of Sky routers on Fleebay.

As said at #3 why don't you keep your Sky broadband and just cancel your Sky TV subscription?
