Boyfriend wants to bring sky with him!

tracyk23

I pay for Amazon, Disney+ and Netflix currently at my house.  He is moving in, and wants to bring his all singing, all dancing, sky sports with him. I believe he is paying around 150 quid for SS and broadband 🧐. 

What’s the most cost effective way to keep him sport happy?? We won’t need sky cinema etc. thanks

Aren't you enough entertainment for him? 😊

 He can't bring it with him as such. You will need to close your accounts and he open new accounts with new provider. I pay for all singing EE TV. Sports, cinema, Netflix I get prime separately as I use that for delivery and Disney for my son separately. I pay £119 a month inc broadband.

Who is your current broadband provider? Some have TV deals that can sometimes be cheaper for Netflix, Sky Sports etc than subscribing to the individual services separately.

Not sure why you say he can't bring it with him?

But of course that could clash with an existing provider at the OPs address if the Sky package includes broadband.

We'd need to know what exactly you have, your contract status and his contract status. One of you could need to pay early termination fees.

Check what termination fees you both have. Usually new customer deals are cheaper than being an existing customer on the rolling contract, but not if either of you are mid minimum term.

You could check out the Now offerings.

I’d ditch him. £150 a month for tv and broadband shows he is too frivolous with money for an mse’r like you.

LOL! I'm beginning to get like my late mum in not knowing the cost of things, but £150 a month does sound a lot to me! Mind you, not having a TV at all means it's down the pub if I want to watch my team play  away.

You could move in with him and take your Prime/Disney/Netflix with you, then you can just cancel your broadband.

Would be the most cost effective solution, and then if its Sky Q you can tack your Netflix onto that and effectively get it as part of the Sky subscription.
