Sadly that deal isn't available on B/Band choices anymore - Full fibre 75 is listed at £26 now.

Its a 2 year contract and includes landline on payg 

Order said I can keep landline number and its listed as our phone number on sky account, so fingers crossed. I won't hold my breath though as plenty of posts online indicate that customers transferring in have ended up with a new number.  Transfer on wednesday so guess I'll find out then

Thank you, please let us know if it all goes OK.

In the meantime I'm testing out an alternative mobile solution using a TP-Link MR105 router with a 3 500Gb/month pre-paid SIM:

This works out about £2.59/month (£75/29 months)  @ 500Gb per month.

Edit 29/6/25:  Price of that 500Gb SIM has now increased from £74.99 to £189.99,  so equiv of £6.55/month (£190/29 months).
Edit   1/7/25:  Price of that 500Gb SIM is back down to £74.99 (Prime),  so equiv of £2.59/month (£75/29 months).
Edit   5/7/25:  Price of that 500Gb SIM is now reduced to £74.49 (Prime),  so equiv of £2.57/month (£74.49/29 months).
Edit   11/7/25:  Price of that 500Gb SIM is now reduced to £69.99 (Prime),  so equiv of £2.41/month (£70/29 months).

@Scrounger thats a really good deal. I did look at Three as an option but sadly their coverage isn't great where I live

Update 2/7/25 -  Switch done, engineer was here for about an hour and kept the same landline number
