Post office or Sky BB

Leaving BT after 5years (as they won't give me a decent deal as an existing customer) looking at the Post Office deal. "Up to 17Mbs", unlimited, inc. line rental, £20pm, fixed for 18months, weekend calls. Seems pretty good. Does anybody know differently?? Other option seems to be Sky. Similar deal, £18.99 (first year) + £75 pre-paid Master Card.

    So Sky is effectively £12.74 a month versus £20 a month for the PO one?

    Is that a difficult choice? At the end of the 12 month Sky contract you'll still get a discount.

    Post Office is simply resold Talk Talk, who I wouldn't touch with a bargepole.

    Bargepole, dicenfected now doubt when touching Talk Talk.

    OP, for me personally, I would rather go with the the thieving barstewards Virgin before I would go with Talk Talk.

    Virgin not an option, not in my area. Talk Talk I wouldn't touch with a barge pole! Don't have a particularly good impression of Sky but quite a few of my friends in this area have it and seem pretty happy overall.

    Sky was always fine for me, only moved to BT due to cost at the time.
