sky broadband

[Andy Allen]

thinging of changing from bt to sky broadband, anyone got sky? is it ok, any problems with it..?

by changing the phone and broadband over to sky (we already have the full tv package) i can save nearly £70 a month......with free broadband for a year...

so any feed back would be good...

 

[nybor62]

i have used both and sky imo is much better esp the broadband

 

[Rookery]

We've got Sky TV, phone, phone line and broadband. We wouldn't be without it.

Had it three years and there hasnt been one single failure.

Saving nearly £70 a month, no contest...

 

[Daveshadowman]

Wouldn't be any different, Sky uses BT lines. So whatever speed you get now with BT, you'll get the same with Sky.

Their free one is the lowest package though, so keep that in mind, but you can upgrade for a little extra if you found it too slow for whatever reason.

Their phone lines are BT too. So you'd just be taking into account the money saved, everything else would be as it is now.

Wise move IMO if it's cheaper.

Though checkout tiscali, talk talk, and all other providers that use BT too. Clearly they don't do the sky TV though which is why it'll save you quids going to sky for everything.

I have Sky TV, Broadband and Phone along with Virgin - just as a backup.

After being ripped off by nPower for 18 months I switched online and saved an absolute fortune! Bills went from a crazy average of 900 per quarter (could never figure out why and they swore I used a shed load in a three bed semi!!!) to £114 a quarter and ended up 140 quid in credit after 12 months too!!!! Work that one out?!

I'd strongly advise switching annually - always punch in your usage - don't let the websites work it out for you based on house size and area etc when getting a quote. And switch yearly if they keep beating your last years quote.

hi andy i changed to sky for phone deal,broadband package also and has been great also an excellent customer service from them if you do have any issues far cheaper than bt

steer clear of talk talk imo heard nothing but bad reports about them here in this area at least

 

[Andy Allen]

when you changed from BT to sky did you keep the same phone number and email address ?

cant seem to get a stright answer off sky, just keep saying it shouldnt be a problem, cant afford to loose the phone no...

They messed my mate about for weeks when he changed to Sky. In the end he cancelled , he still has Sky tv but not internet.
They said it was a straight forward swap over but left him having to use mobile internet access via the phone or a dongle via a third party ISP.

 

[Dougs Third Go]

we're on the sky package, tv, telephone, bb, all fine and never any problems.

 

[Dan]

I switched my phone number from BT to VirginMedia no problem. Took a couple of days but it's sorted now.

BT said it wasn't possible, rang virgin, they said no problem we'll do that now, next day I had a letter from BT confirming it. So it sounded like they wanted to just stick me in another 12 month contract so that I couldn't take my number or cancel. Robbers.

Mark would of thought you would be on virgin where you are cost and speed

 

[Perry]

I have just got rid of the sky film chanal and gone for Netflix much cheaper and more to our viewing split it with one of the boys who still lives at home as you can have multiple streams so only £2.50 a month and we VPN in the USA version as well at the same time
