Is Stream still not great? I've had to keep Q for the wife.

We'll all be transferred to Stream in 2 years maximum - Sky are dumping satellite services !
If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.0 -
Not if I dump Sky first.

If that was true then they wouldn't be offering 24 month discounts still ?

Im out of contract and about to negotiate a better deal on Monday. I have a Sky Q box and currently pay £46 for BB and £40.50 for Tv. Going to £49 for BB and £42.50 for Tv. Crazy I know to continue to pay this much for Superfast BB (which could no longer be described as super fast) and just Sky signature for Tv. I rang the other day and the best they could offer was either BB 150mb for £59.50 or 500mb for £67.50 with just sky signature. To be honest we tend to watch mainly the fee to air channels and like the facility to be able to record on the box. I feel there are whey to many channels now days even if one watched Tv 24/7. I want nothing more than Signature and possibly Ultimate for Netflix. I would consider HD if we could get it for £5 but even then many of the free to air channels are already in HD.
If not offered a better deal than this I intend to cancel the Tv and move the Internet to either Vodaphone at £19.13 for a speed of 150mb or probably £500mb at £21.13. Or plusnet at the same price with a speed of 300mb. These deals finish on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively so anyone seeing this and able to offer and thoughts on going ahead with idea would be appreciated.

Where are you getting £19.13 and £21.13 prices from, website or affiliated site?
The prices I have seen are .O0 or .99 and not .13 or is it that after a cashback?

I got in contact over the price rise for TV only a week or two back.
My TV only (Signature & Netflix plus HD) was £38 going up to £41, I got it down to £32 with no April rise this year for a new 24 month contract (come next April no doubt I'll have to do it all again). The breakdown is Signature at £21.50, Netflix at £5.50 and HD at £5.
I also get UHD on and off when it's available for free for a couple of months.
BB is currently VM until June which I switched to from Sky when the price went up on a previous occasion. If you're not tied to something particular, just switch.

For us personally, no. For plenty of others too, judging by the community forum activity.

Its on the Martin Lewis website and yes does include cash back in the form of voucher which can be used in many stores such as Tesco and of course everyone needs food shopping so is a worthwhile discount incentive.

It's from the MSE Unbundled website and takes into account vouchers and the price rise in 2027 for the 24 month contract. It's an equivalent monthly cost rather than what is paid each month.
