Upgrade to Fibre Broadband

Has anyone researched offerings of fibre broadband from BT, Sky and TalkTalk?

I currently have talktalk wired broadband, with phone deal on all Uk calls(not available if I update to fibre}, and TV package.
I also have Sky TV for news, sport and documentaries.
I finally pay separately to have BT sport through Sky.

Anyone see easy route to rationalisation please?!

    Its a question of first what do you want .
    Second are you out of contract with TT .
    If you are out of contract then .
    Logic says to look at SKY first as you have 2 services with them .

    Thanks for your input.

    I am favouring taking BT fibre, as it provides BT Sport at reduced rates.

    Do any of the fibre providors offer national phone calls in package?

    What about BT TV and ditching Sky?

    I don't see any easy route to "rationalization" but I can tell you from experience that BT are quite keen to offer good deals to keep customers. Last week they rang me (my contract was up) and told me I could continue with the generous broadband discount I had been getting for the past year, with a new 12 month contract renewal. Also, BT sports free for six months and then £7.50 a month there-after.

    I already got a good deal from Sky for the sports so it is all good.
