okey dokey

I have just made the plunge..

i was going to go with sky's 'lite' (free) option but they wanted £60 activation fee, instead they offered the 'unlimited' broadband option at £7.50/month which is free for the first three months... so that works out at £67.50/year and that can be cancelled (i think at any time after 3 months)

they do all the donkey work of getting mac addresses off bt

so all in it is looking just about ok.. will update on how activation goes... i am sure it'll all go tits up somewhere but can't say that I am going to get all that excited about it

oh - and I am getting sky movies free for 2 months... as long as I cancel with 1 months notice (dec 7th) I won't have to pay any extra... so movies it is for christmas then!! :)

Thats the issue with Virgin I only run BT line because I use alot of the 0845 numbers and some of Virgin and Sky charge upto 1.50+ per minutes if I add all those calls it would be more than my £20.00 per month?
My broadband is actually £9.00 if I top up my wifes PAYGO £10 per every three months sometimes I forget and have to pay £15.00.
Have you had any breakages or cutting out experience on the sky broadband?

Hey Chuff I've done the sums properly
BT £6.00 Call back call waiting which I don't use October Bill £19.90
Sky with Sports £44.00
O2 broadband curently only 6Mps unlimited £14.50
Total = £78.00 odd
My sky has been cancelled from this month
I've taken out the call waiting call back -£6.00
Down to £28.40
Now Virgin do the tivo for about £23 pounds with TIVO free installation fee?

Buy broadband, TV and phone together and get:
£60 off
Free TiVo activation worth £49.95
Free installation worth £49.95*
Or save up to £129.90 when you buy any two of our broadband, TV and phone services online, with:
£30 off Free TiVo activation worth £49.95 (when you take Virgin TV)Free installation worth £49.95*

Is this right? But I have to get a Virgin line for another £13.50?
So I would be paying total of  £36.50 odd?

How does this work I'm not sure on the way they spread the costs or is it free or you pay upfront then they rebate yopu back every month on your bill? Anyone know what the pros and cons are on that deal? becuase it looks bloody good for the money I've never used cable but its got to be better than my 6Mps on my bad exchange from BT and o2?
