The_Lions_Roar Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Try Utility Warehouse. Gas, Electric, Phone, Ultd BB and Mrs E's mobile phone contract all for under £175 a month. (We live in a 4 bed house) We get our TV from Virgin so have their XL TiVO package for £33 a month on top. The UW broadband craps all over Virgins as well FWIW. We live in a 4 bed house and if we compared the same utilities then we pay £120. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted August 20, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2013 Any idea when BT are likely to have Sky Sports in HD? I would join them right now but they only show in SD, WTF is that all about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs E is at home all day and has the metabolism of a desert lizard so the house is constantly at an ambient 30 degrees.... try them they might surprise you.

hogso Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm going with UW for gas & elec, still undecided on Internet/TV, though! I'm thinking BT at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 What would be better as a package (TV,calls, internet) between Sky and BT? I play a few games through steam so didn't know whether it was worth forking out for fibre either. Love the football but really debating whether it's worth paying £22 for it! I'll be on a bit of budget so that would be considered a luxury more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) So I've just compared Sky and BT TV/Phone/Broadband packages. Both come to £43 for what I want. With Sky I get the basic entertainment package, unlimited normal internet and weekend calls. With BT I get the basic television package (which is just freeview I think), fibre optic unlimited internet and weekend calls. Stumped. With Sky I get a few little extras and I think the TV is better hands down. But with BT I get fibre optic and BT sport. Anyone have any thoughts?

The_Lions_Roar Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Personally I found sky internet to be the worst. I switched from then to virgin purely because of this reason. I've now moved house and got the basis BT internet. So far so good with it, unfortunately its not the optic as that's not available in my area just yet. My in laws have got the you view box through BT and it is basically a free view box that records and has an on demand service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I had BT infinity for 18 months then switched to Sky Standard BB and in normal use there was no difference. Even streaming football is perfectly fine on standard BB. The big plus with sky is their TV guide, UI and Sky+. These are all first class. Check out www.quidco.com/sky for cashback when buying online. Its free money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm hearing mixed reviews about that so I may just bite the bullet and go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 FYI I saw a half price Sky TV deal on Voucher Codes yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regular_john Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'm with BT and the router is absolutely terrible. It has no range whatsoever and struggles to connect to anything that isn't a Windows OS (i.e. phones, ipad, linux etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm getting free unlimited broadband with sky at the moment - for 12 months. All's I did was call them up and asked to cancel. They offered me something pants - I refused They offered me something else, slightly less pants - I refused Then they said "listen, we want you to remain with Sky, so how about we give you free broadband for 12 months?" So I said OKAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
