I talked to a very nice lady and I now have BB for £9.99 a month for 12 months so I am happy :)


Oh and please don't flame me as I didn't lie, shout or demand to get it and they still get a lot of money off me every month :)

I'm pleased for you mate. sorry I can't flame you as I'm going through a unimaginative phase in my life :o: :p:

Rang retentions today (0800 052 1474) & explained I was unhappy about how much I was paying for TV, extra box, BB & phone.

The upshot is BB for £9.99 for 1 year, & free SkySports 1,2 & 3 for 1 year (currently £13.50) . Effective 'saving' £21.50 per month. Also, there's no 1 year tie-in, which is a bonus I wasn't expecting.

All in all, pretty happy with that. The CS rep was also very polite & helpful.

:tu: for a change!

"SkySports 1,2 & 3 for 1 year (currently £13.50) "

I pay £17 for that, did you already have a discount?

No, I didn't have SkySports at all before. I think the £13.50 is correct - do you have the Sky film channels as well? If not, I'd get on the phone!

Nope prices I got quoted are.

£14.50 for base + phone
+£17 for sky sports 1,2,3 (no longer single channels available on analogue)

now I just checked the pdf file for 2005 prices, and for analogue I see this

Base pack £14
Base pack with sky sports 1,2 (3 is free I think) £31

this makes it £17 as they said.

for digital the prices are

£21.50 base (ouch)
£41.50 base+ sky sports collection, so £20 for digital.

---edit---

Having a further look I guess you have the family pack?

sky sports is cheaper when you have family or mid pack on digital.

digital family - £30 - with sky sports - £43.50
analogue family - £24 - with sky sports £41

the discount doesnt stick for analogue tho.

You know if I was on Family pack I would be ringing retentions now demanding a discount since people on analogue getting a raw deal on the higher packages considering they have dozens less channels.
