    Seems excessive. Most people have to have a line so they can get broadband. Captive market.

    How do I cancel the voicemail element on the sky website then?

    Disgraceful price rises.

    If you only have Sky for their BB and are out of contract, ditch em.

    There's much cheaper packages out there.

    I have Sky TV, Phone & Broadband with Sky on a 12 month contract. Just to clarify, does this mean I can cancel the Phone & Broadband without penalty?

    I foresee a dodgy Sky tactic being I can't cancel the 'broadband' aspect of the package, so will still incur a fee if I wish to move...

    No, you'll only be able to cancel the 'phone element of your subscription without paying an exit fee. Probably not a wise move if you also have Sky broadband.

    ...because the broadband price will go up by £5.

    Glad i have been with talk talk for years. I get the speedy payment discount of 15% and am on their fibre for only £5 p/m. Sky are very expensive they did try to talk me in, Not a chance.:)
