O2 Broadband customers who moved to Sky last June for Free TV and BB-Are you staying?

I was an O2 Broadband customer who was offered the deal last year from Sky to move early to get free tv and broadband free for a year. I joined Sky at the end of June last year and have been really impressed with the tv, phone and broadband and haven't encountered any problems.

I can't afford to pay for the tv package when it stops being free so I will cancel (unless Sky offer the same deal ). I'm happy to just keep the broadband and phone with them but I've got used to the idea of having a recorder, pausing live tv etc and the kids love Disney Junior.

I figure I might jump ship and go to Talk Talk as their Plus TV, Broadband and phone package is well within my price range and I could pay the extra for the kids boost. Anyone else with them?

What are other Sky/former O2 customers who took the free one year offer going to do when the year is up?:)

My free deal expires in May and will have to start reviewing this in 10 days however after contacting Sky on Friday I was advised that I would be offered it at half price for 12 months.

My deal expires in August, I'm tempted to get a freesat recorder as i mainly use my sky+ box to record free to watch channels.

I will also look at fibre broadband nearer the time too.

I will try and cut a retention deal with Sky for another 12m. Ideally at the same discounted rate. No complaint so far with the service so far, I'm getting line speeds about 10% higher than with O2.

I'll be interested to see what they offer you all as I agreed to switch in Nov after months of iffing and butting...

Anyone had any luck getting a retention deal yet? I've got to phone Sky at the end of this month. Hoping they'll offer me a deal as good as the current one. TalkTalk seems the only other option for me so I can get a Youview box as I've liked being able to record/pause live tv. Are TalkTalk any good as I hear plenty of bad reviews and some good?

my current deal is FREE broadband and FREE TV for a year .So all I pay is the phone .Somehow I cant see sky offering anything like that .

I only went to sky as BT wanted £130 to connect a phone line and sky did it for free . I wasnt best pleased that I had to have a new phone number but sky added £50 credit to my account for that .

I got 50% off sky tv, but didn't want it. Just got UNLIMITED BB and line rental for £7.75 /MONTH. could have got more off if I had tried harder i felt afterwards.

I'm going to cancel tv, as I watch very little other than the Freeview channels (already have two Freeview PVRs). I occasionally use catchup, but doing that on a computer wouldn't be a large problem.


I'm very pleased with the broadband and phone, but leaving or not will depend on a deal, especially as there is no longer a line rental advance saver, which makes other providers cheaper.

They offered me 50% off the TV package but I declined. They also offered free broadband and half price line rental for 12 months, so broadband and phone for £7.70 a month, which I accepted.
