Broadband / TV package advice needed

Options
Hi,
I currently have and pay:

BT Infinity, Sport, Calls and Line Rental: £72 pm
Sky Box Set Bundle with Sports: £65 pm

Very expensive i think and with being on the brink of redundancy in my job, i need to make some cuts.

Sky Fibre?: I did a postcode check and noticed i can get this.
How does it compare with BT

If i did switch to sky fibre how would it effect my current phone number and Line rental?

In my situation what would you do, both are past their contract so can be ended at anytime, though i really need Internet.

Appreciate any advice
:beer:

    You will save money if you swap BB & Phone from BT to Sky. The service should be very similar, as they are based on the same infrastructure.

    Other than that, and bundle discounts notwithstanding, every additional service you buy that you don't need increases the cost.

    Thanks for the replies

    Im guessing i would need to contact BT for notice to cancel?

    What would be the best way to switch with little downtime

    No - don't do that. Contact your new supplier (once you've worked out who you want it to be). They will verify that you are a suitable new customer, and will inform BT on your behalf.

    If you follow the standard process, and all goes well, then there shouldn't be significant downtime.

    If new hardware is required, then that needs to be ready before the switchover.
