How much do you pay for Sky/Virgin?

[banther]

Whatever you do go through Topcashback / quidco - I got £140 after 3 months just for switching to Sky. ABout £40 a month for (s**t) internet currently 2mbps, phone, tv basic as you get.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

£47 a month

All channels, sky sports, 200mb fibre

f**king sucks! We pay near that for 50mb basic channels and a phone line we don't use. I'll be glad when the contract is up tbh.

 

[Ben]

I don't use my phone, how many providers will give me broadband (fibre) without it & the stupid line rental fee?

The only way to get it "cheap" is to keep switching between sky and virgin at the end of each contract and take up the new customer deals.

Or just stick to freeview

Pretty sure the answer is none apart from virgin.

Broadband uses your phone line so makes no odd really.

That includes phone line and free weekend calls. No use to anyone though as everyone has free calls from their mobiles these days

Honestly we basically only have freeview channels anyway the only plus is the recording option, when contract is up thinking of just going for an internet package and getting some sort of tv recorder so we can keep track of the stuff we usually watch.

Will see when the time comes I guess, your deal was through the lad on here too iirc wonder how much that helps.

 

[Deeg]

Same deal as @james24785 for me.

Yeah it helps a fair bit, goes up to £67 after 12 month

I was about to cancel my sky as got a you view box for free from talktalk. But found out my aerial socket doesn't work FFS, and there is no Dave on freesat!!!

How would you cope without 4746362 episodes of top gear each day??

Do you mean freeview? Dave is on freeview

 

[DrR]

My aerial socket doesn't work, so no freeview.

Can still use the sky dish for freesat, but there is no Dave on freesat

 

[glowworm105]

I currently have talktalk fibre broadband free for 12 months , and sky for TV which is 43 I think with everything except sports , so total cost is 60 quid , I signed up via topcashback and got £73 for talktalk broadband and £115 for sky plus a soundbar for free

 

[iain187]

I think it's just under £60 and we do line rental, broadband and TV all through sky (inc sports & HD)

i cant get fibre or virgin here though

 

[Iain C]

40 quid with virgin. Getting 55 mps on interents, basic tv and I think I have a land line tho I've not seen it for ages.

 

[levaz]

My father in law just got an 'Amiko' box (I'd never heard of them either)
Think he paid £50 for it and gets a box load of sky channels (sports / movies and all the regular freesat stuff)
He's over the moon with it as he was previously paying over £100 a month for sky (3 room multiroom with a HD+ box in each room)

Thread just helped me sign a client, cheers CS.

Compared the cost of his insurance (protecting his kids) to the cost of his sky bill (TV) - he had no option but to say yes. Lol.

<3 CS.

[Jack Parke]

Are you an existing customer or would be a new? Virgin won't allow me to do existing, typical!

 

[Jack Parke]

Nice deal.

Cheers, should be free really but hey ho

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I've gotta say, the TiVo box is absolutely awful! Not impressed with it at all. If I could be arsed I'd ring up and moan about it

 

[Jack Parke]

All I've gotta say there will be a new box, eventually

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

All I've gotta say there will be a new box, eventually

For new customers only no doubt? As everything is with virgin

 

[Jay_A]

Our V+ box is over 6.5 years old and plays up more and more now. The TiVo has to be a similar age so could do with an upgrade at some point.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I much prefer the V+ box I had at my dads

 

[Typhoon]

New!

 

[Rich..]

We're paying around £70 a month for virgin medium to package, line rental, and 100mb broadband. I need to ring them and tell them were thinking of leaving as we've just came out of contract, should get it right down then hopefully.

I also have the best toaster money can buy, £100 off eBay.

 

[Liamm]

Thanks to this thread I've just checked my sky package and apparently from February it's going up from £39.90 to £54!
17.50 line rental
7.50 broadband
30.00 variety package

f**k that its already gone up 10 quid plus some weird charge I got last month which I still can't figure out what for.
Think my contract ends in Feb so gonna cancel the TV package. I moved in November does that mean I've entered another year contract or not? My mum thinks I have.

 

[jonzz]

£0 line rental
£0 a month for broadband
£28 for sky + bt sport a month

 

[Jack Parke]

New and existing. Same as the superhub 3 that's out later this month, if you want it just pay for delivery

 

[Jack Parke]

New!

PM if your serious haha
