cheapest place to get Sky Atlantic?

Legacy_user

My Sky package - tv (no movies or sport), line rental, HD channels, max packages for phone and BB is going to be around the £70 mark with the price increase.

I am considering leaving Sky either fully or completely. But I will sacrifice my beloved Sky Atlantic.

I cannot think of another service that offers it. My flat isn't Virgin cabled.

I could wait for the series to go onto Netflix etc, but I cannot guarantee when it will be on and how long they will be available.

If I do cancel, I would be worried if I go without BB for a day or two as I do everything online. How to prevent this? Not bothered if I have new service up and running a few days beforehand.

Not sure what the difference between leaving fully or completely is but have you rung Sky and spoken to retentions explaining it is getting too expensive and you don't *want * to leave but .................. That often gets a good result.

Not sure what series you are talking about though ?

Can't comment on Sky as I'm not a customer, but I'd get a mobile broadband dongle to cover the gap between Sky Broadband and whoever you go with next, assuming you have the line terminated. Last time I asked BT to install broadband, they dragged their heels and took a fortnight. Virgin Media took a week. I bought a Huawei Mifi and an EE prepay data SIM, so that hubby and I could share the connection.

Now TV is the cheapest way to get Sky Atlantic as its only £6.99 a month.

Can watch live or catch-up.

Virgin Media does not supply the Sky Atlantic channel. It is only available from Sky.

Not sure what you mean by "No but".

Sky Atlantic is definitely available on Now TV, for which the basic "Entertainment" offer is £6.99 per month, on a one-month rolling basis.

The channels available are at the bottom of this page: http://watch.nowtv.com/entertainment

I believe you're referring to the initial package including the cost of the nowtv box, rather than the ongoing costs.
