Think thats pretty fair tbh if it includes your line rental and broadband. I started a similar thread last week as I was signing up for sky, and unless you get a great deal thats the norm. I'll be paying £48 from tomorrow and thats with all channels, HD box and a box for the bedroom, and iv got half price sky subscription, no HD fee and half price multi-room. Go it through a mate who works for them but without would be £78 I think.

£21 for basic tv, nothing more.

However, I am thinking of moving to Virgin and going for a phone/tv/internet deal as I reckon it would be cheaper than my current BT/Sky/O2 combo.

Cancel your subscription. They do not collect the Sky box or dish and you continue to get the basic channels for nothing.

You have not been charged for this information.:thumbsup:

To be honest I only took out the subscription because my old box packed up, they came and installed a shiny new one for me, the dish and cabelling were mine already.

Well there you go then, you end up with a nice new box as well. Nobody wants secondhand Sky boxes as they are all changing to Sky + and HD.

When people say phone that doesn't include line rental does it? Reason i ask is BT give free calls evenings and weekends just for the basic line rental charge so it doesn't really mean anything to say 'phone' does it?!

I'm with Virgin and have the following:

Phone (Medium?)
TV: XL. V+ box and V box in bedroom, Sports add on (Sky Sports 1,2,3,4, News)
Broadband: L (20mb)

I pay around £75 a month, constantly on the phone trying to get a better deal but they reckon I am on the best deal they can (getting a bit of discount)
