What Would you Do?

My O2/halfway to Sky free broadband for a year has ended. I think it's £8.50 a month for the package I have.

My landline is Primus which is just going up in cost but it's not used for calls at all and so I pay the bare minimum for that.

My TV is Sky - been paying just £10.50pm for a year on a deal and they've offered it me half price for a year from the end of the month when that ends which I'm tempted to accept.

There's a myriad of cashback offers on BT deals and TalkTalk packages via Quidco and TCB. I'd like to keep the monthly cost as low as possible - any ideas how I could do this and maximise cashback?

    It's normally cheaper to get everything from a single supplier and you had three although the buyout now brings it down to two.

    As you are a Sky customer already you'll get no cashback from them so it's down to checking what Sky would charge for phone BB + TV and comparing that to what you'd pay for a phone + BB deal + what you have been offered by Sky. That's assuming you want to keep paid for TV.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm happy enough to keep Sky at half price. By my reckoning I'll be paying approx £50pm for all three.

    Just to say I've managed to get £100 cashback via Quidco as an existing Sky TV customer upgrading to phone line and broadband (showing as zero cost on statement anyway!) plus an M&S voucher. If you're with O2 it's worth doing before you officially become a Sky customer anyway and get nothing for it.
