yes skys 50% offer will keep most I guess

Well, frankly, I don't condone such practices, whoever does it. Where are you coming from?

I think you are in for a treat, enjoy :)

Thanks, theone! I'm not cutting the cord just yet, but getting the best of all worlds.

However, I'm starting to think that I'm edging towards it.

Did you not read my post properly I wasn't condoning anything , my point was it's hypocritical of BT to lambast Sky for overcharging when it's increased the price of BT Sport for Sky customers without BT Broadband by 48%.

Is that not a valid point.

Agreed £17 just for line rental alone is dsgusting this really needs to be addressed by ofcom or the goverment as it's going to end up pricing a lot of people out of broadband.
