Cheaper to use seperate providers depending on your needs?

BT line rental: £10 if paying annually,anytime calls and broadband 10GB usage at 15MB £13 per month,Sky TV £25 total: £48 per month that is a cheaper quote than Sky Talk and unlike Sky Talk, 0845 numbers are included with the anytime calls and it is 24/7 calls not just evenings and weekends. Prices quoted are if paying by Direct Debit otherwise an additional £1.89 per month non-direct debit admin fee is charged by BT or additional £5 charged by Sky as payment handling fee. The BT line rental is £14.70 per month if paying monthly or quarterly, the payment handling fee is charged per bill not per month therefore if you are lucky enough to get quarterly bills with a BT payment card, it will be just £1.89 per quarter. The anytime calls offer is subject to a 12 month contract and from then on £4.95 for anytime calls will kick in but i'm sure this can be waived if a new contract is agreed.

Is there a question in there?

You can get Sky line rental for £9.95 per month if you pay the year up-front or it's £12.25 if paid monthly.

The unlimited calls and unlimited bb is only £12.50 all the time with Sky not just on a 12 month discount. Currently you can get 6 months free broadband and 6 months free unlimited calls when you join phone and broadband with Sky line rental.

So I guess it really depends how many 0845 numbers you call - remember lots of companies use 0844 and 0871 nowadays which both BT and Sky will charge you for.

Sky's non-Direct Debit charge is £4 per month but you have to pay by direct debit to get Sky.
