Talk Talk Medium Fibre - Signup Via Cashback or Comparison Site ?

I recently found out about the upcoming price increases from my current
provider (SKY), after trying to negotiate a deal (Best was £2 a month off
£8 monthly call package and 1 month line rental discount) as I already
have a "discounted rate" (Half Price Fibre). I have decided to try the
Talk Talk package as it saves me over £7 a month over Sky plus you
have the option of cashback or voucher.

But, I would appreciate any opinions on which route I should take to signup.
Options are:

1. Quidco are currently offering £90 cashback for new customers
(Topcashback is only £40 on fibre)
But the links take you to an affiliate webpage where you don't
get the Love2shop vouchers.

or

2. Broadbandchoices are offering a £100 love2shop voucher link rather
than the £50 offered if you go direct to the website.

Or does anyone know of a way ;) to claim both voucher and cashback :)

Any advice / recommendations would be appreciated.

    Hi, wanna swap:rotfl:
    I've just chatted to sky about coming over from talk talk.after 15 years.
    Offered Free BB.unlimited.
    Line rental at £16.40
    Talk package @ £8
    so £24.40 for first year, then £4 thereafter.

    Any way of beating it?
    TT are best deal with BB choices, trouble is, I'm already with them.

    Your line rental will be £17.40, from your first bill after Dec1.


    I've actually beaten your deal, as an existing customer, so plenty of bargaining space with Sky, once you join.


    I have taken half price Original tv (at £10 with £50 credit) but also


    line rental half price (ie £8.20 going up to £8.70)
    broadband free
    calls £8, but keep £5 deal until January

    I didn't know that, but, being so long with tt I ignored what others get.
    My old deal was great, when I told tt that I would leave, he wasn't bothered, said I'd had long term discounts.
    I never thought I would leave them,BUT, when I said what price loyalty", he said they had to get more customers.?
    So they lose me,et.al to give MORE to newbies, than they would to retain my et.als custom.
    Illogical innit.
    As I have already paid this months bill, and LR until 15th December, might as well use it till next month, and change instead of trying to recoup a months line back from tt.
    See what's available in the mean time.

    Looks like the best way at the moment is to sign up through topcashback for £84 cashback and £50 M&S voucher.

    I'm thinking of switching from TT as my contract expires beginning Dec and from what I can see they're not giving much away to exsisting customers.

    Hi Intenso, you are same as me, there's nowt for loyalty.If they just gave me the £7.50 pm same as newbies, I would stay, for 18 months, but only 6 months;;;
    I hate moving around, senseless when you are happy with the ISP, as I am
    I've never used cashback sites, now might be the time.Can you get both?
    when are you thinking of moving? My LR is paid till 15th dec.
    no contract.Have you tried phoning them?
    I'm going to give them another call, to retention team, after getting all my sky data together.Doubt it will make any difference to the last call yesterday.
