Good thinking
This deal (if it had been available) would have made me think about it

Strange, one would have thought you should get same, if you mean adsl2 etc...they must use same or similar equipment. Not as if your house is further away using BT
But regardless, do say you plan to leave.
i said same about my tv yesterday, to get my deal. I mentioned virgin (cough cough )

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Just rang Sky and been given some news. I have 6 months if BB unlimited free because ive moved address. This was applied end of April. I didnt even know that i was getting that discount so good times. Drinks are in me
PS Colin. I got a 2 TB box for £49 when i moved home. I had to pay an extra multiroom sub for one month and then cancel so it removed my old non PVR so came to £60 seemed a good deal for me

Ya the 500GB is getting full on mine as dont get chance to watch the content i had on there when i moved. Ive had to put the 2TB in the bedroom until i have had chance to watch everything on my 500GB and will then swap them around so mine is just sat there recording films

Sorry for late reply, just noticed
It was £49, plus £15 delivery charge
The £49 is standard for existing customers, so he couldn't do me a deal on that
But overall, the guy was very helpful, can't praise him enough.
And i taught him that HD does start immediately, his script was wrong, as he tried to say I would need to wait until new box came, but I queried that, so I checked while chatting with him online (hey, free calls, so happy to chat, and I am getting old )

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Following on from this:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/n...rts-offer.html
Just noticed this on the SKY website:
http://www.sky.com/shop/tv/?DCMP=AFC...affiliate=true
I was on the site early this morning however since then the price of SKY Sports has been removed, and the button you would usually click on for further information on how to add SKY Sports has been removed also.
Just an error on the site, or could the market changer mentioned in the Telegraph article be something to do with SKY Sports?
