Sky package reduction.

Options
Hi one and all,
I currently have a limited sky TV package, with sky unlimited broadband and line rental. The total is approximately £44.

For the last 12 months, we have had the Internet package and line rental at half price, but that is now ending.

On the basis that we watch little tv, I thought a cheaper way forward, would be to go down the Humax route, and dump all of the TV package. I know that I can go through old postings and find other people that have done this, but it would be useful to know Skys' current thinking on this, and the best deal I would be likely to get.

Even though I am out of the minimum service period, I read on someone's posting, of a cessation fee, if I take my business elsewhere. Any thoughts on that?

Any tips will be gratefully received.
David.

    There is no "cessation" fee. For your package, you give 31 days cancellation notice. Request a MAC code if you want to switch your broadband too

    There may be if you switch from adsl to cable. MAC would not be appropriate in that situation.
  • Thanks cifpower and jem16 for your replies re the possibility of a cessation fee. Further homework required methinks.
