Sky Tv how to get huge discount

[Terpe]

Tbh, I don't watch much television at all, really. ... way too many repeats - coupled with a glut of zany American comedies on ALL the channels (including 'Freeview') - for my liking.

Must admit I'm the same Arthur........hardly watch TV...............I catchup on iPlayer with stuff that interests me but that's about it.
I quit Sky 12 months ago.........

Can't believe the amount of money people pay just to watch TV Arthur!

Any tips on which is the cheapest/most reliable broadband only deal ?

I'm thinking of kicking my TV (and landline) into touch too, as I watch very little television myself, and then only what I could get on freeview anyway.

I'd leave it few months and wait till 4G is more widely available then you wont need your landline anyway

I think that £20 odd a month for Sky and then there is the tv licence to pay for still is fair.
Dont know how much it is to go to cinema these days but bet it's quite expensive.
To go to football matches would cost me close on £100 all in for one game
True there is lots of crap on tv but you get to see some great stuff lie idiot abroad,anything by Brian cox,The Ashes series,etc etc
If you staying in you not spending money going out as I know when I have a night out I spend shed loads

You know Les I've never had what you might call a night out, if I ever go out in an evening it's either Cinema (last film I ever watched in cinema was Lord of the rings) or visit someone's house for dinner (ten years since that happened) never eaten out in UK and have never been in a hotel in UK, been to an occasional bonfire and always had nice holidays, Cornwall, Scotland, Vancouver Island, Egypt, etc: never been to Europe though!

Completely agree Les, I think its great value just for sport alone.

I too think BT is pretty good but I am very happy with PlusNet, though you have to change your phone to them as well.
That`s not so bad as they are cheaper than BT, also the call centres are all UK based with a lovely Yorkshire accent most of the time.

[grahamw48]

Thanks guys....will investigate BT.

Better not try to flannel me with their Yorkshire accents though.

[Terpe]

I'm with BT.
So far so good. Get a reliable and good speed and useful and handy BT desktop tools if glitches happen.
A very small and neat wifi hub with good strength all over the house and in the garden.

I pay just a little bit extra to get unlimited download. Very useful especially with the Free BT access to sky sport (not that I've used it so far)..but I am a pretty heavy internet data user. Before I upgraded I did get hit a couple of times with over limit downloads.

[grahamw48]

That sounds reassuring. Thanks Peter.

Well, we still don't have 3G here in our place!

[Terpe]

Well, we still don't have 3G here in our place!

We just got reliable 3G on 2 networks May 2012

We've been promised 'ultra-fast' internet by 2017
I'll be sitting on a beach in Philippines by then and fast internet will just a dim memory

Well unless the cost of satellite internet comes down a whole lot...or 4G is very well rolled out over there..
