TV Option
 

Hi all,

I currently have the 2MB BB service from NTL and sky for our TV. With my dad not working now anymore (got laid off then had various operations) money is a bit tight at the moment and im the only one earning in the household at the moment (mum's disabled). Currently we have sky @ £40 p/m, this includes the skysports and family packages.

I would like to know what the cost would work out to if we went with ntl to have the same/similar package. i have looked on their website and its a bit confusing as as it gives 3 different packages for sky sports alone?

Any help is greatfully appreciated.

Regards
Wakar

PS we have BT phone line but is restricted to only incoming calls only.

I am sure somebody will be able to provide more details on pricing but NTL closely matches Sky's prices so it would probably be around the £40 pcm.

However, you must also note that you will also have to take a NTL phone line with the TV (if you do not already have it) at an extra £10.50 per month.

I would recommend you give Sky a call and tell them you can't afford the Sports and Movies packs anymore.

I know people who have done this and got a discount or a free period.

The package you're looking for is the Family Pack with Sky Sports Collection, which costs £35pm. As someone else has already pointed out though, you would also be required to transfer your phoneline to ntl.

Or with money being tight you could just get rid of it fullstop. Thats what I'd do.

I may even just do that, may even downgrade BB to 1MB too
