I left SKY TV as I was paying £45 per month for no movies, no sports, no box sets but this did include broadband, phone and the sky q box.
I've recently switched to Now TV and use a fire stick but still I pay £26 a month for broadband, phone and tv (although the £26 is just for phone and broadband right??) I've yet to add any passes
Just wondering what I'm best doing to reduce it further?
Shall I get a different/cheaper provider for my phone and broadband?

Start with what you actually want .
BB what , Phone Calls many none , likewise TV .
Do you need over the wire BB ??0 -
Sorry yes ok.
I do get fibre broadband but I rarely download, so just casual surfing and of course the ability to stream to use NOW tv.
For the landline I never use it.
For the TV, I will miss the ability to record programs but I do have a PVR so I can still record program and I use my girlfriends netflix so I have everything I want really.
I'm just trying to get the cost down further for broadband and phone.0 -

So are you not in the minimum contract period?0 -
ADSL will be cheaper than £26 fibre but the cheapest fibre at the moment is £21 a month from Vodafone. Of course ADSL will depend on your personal DL speed.
Use the 'Address Checker' option at https://www.dslchecker.bt.com/ and post a screenshot (take out the address details at the top).
If you still need fibre and you're out of contract then contact NowTV and quote the Vodafone offer, it's quite likely they could do a deal.0 -
My number isn't found using that ADSL link - it says 'no data available for this number'
Turns out I'm in a 12 month contract so this is all irrelevant I suppose0 -

You use your landline to transmit the broadband data and pay rental for this line .0 -

Probably because it's a Sky ULL number. Try putting your address in instead.

That direct address never works, you have to go through the 'Address Checker' link at https://www.dslchecker.bt.com/0 -
Sorry to hijack but I was keen to hear about what this checker tells me. I am on a Sky ULL but wish to change away to another supplier when my contract is up. On Sky I get about 20Mb download on ADSL.
I was going to post an image that I got from the checker but I can't seem to work out how to do that0 -
Thats roughly what you get with other ADSL suppliers .0
