Broadband/landline help...

please can someone help me, I'm currently with BT for my broadband and phone line (£170 every 3 months) and with sky tv (23 a month), my son pays this for me as I'm unable to earn an income so therefore on benefits. I was thinking of joining Sky for all and leaving BT, but am scared to make the move, and my friend doesn't have great internet with Sky. I'm on Infinity 1 with BT.
I would be grateful for any suggestions please.. in simple terms lol

Thank You

    Stop paying £55+ a month! There are many better deals out there. I assume from that price you are way out of minimum term.

    Have a look here

    Sky and BT use the same wires for the phone/internet. The service should be similar between the two.

    First question is when does your BT contract end .If still in contract you will pay the remaining months .
