Can I do this?

Hi Guys!

I've been looking for a new broadband provider, as I'm with Tiscali at the moment, but something a bit cheaper would be nice!

I've just been reading the cutting costs of broadband article and it says that existing sky customers can get basic broadband for free.

Would I be able to sign up to Sky on the cheapest package (£15) then a week later signup to their broadband for free?

£15 is what I'm payin now, so to get a few Sky channels plus broadband for that would be great!

Thanks in advance!

Check that Sky is available on your local exchange here.

It depends if Sky is unbundled on your exchange, if not it won't be free.

If your happy with Tiscali why not ask them if they can do it cheaper. They often can.

Otherwise - take a look here...

If you scroll down you can see more details on each of the providers (listed by best rated from the top down) and take a look at packages on offer.

You can then visit their sites and usually find even more offers listed.

I've just changed my provider and this site made it really easy to find just what I wanted.
