    Right, i know there's a few sky people working on here, so i need a bit of advice.

    Moving to a new place at the end of august and i'm looking to get decent internet and decent TV at the right price.

    anyone got any good know how on what's good at the moment, and any cheeky workarounds for getting stuff cheaper? Help would be greatly appreciated hew!

    i've had a look like, dont want that Internet lite crack. 2gb monthly limit! i download that in less than a week!

    depends how much rent they'll be throwing at me, they've decided to drop the rent a bit since i pointed out that 1 sofa and a washing machine doesnt mean they can charge for a fully furnished flat! :lol:

    Not sure on the tv front as a package - but o2 are quality and decent priced for phone / broadband. get a freeview box & then rely on the internet for downloading / streams?

    is there no option to get the TV and the net, but no phone? i've never really seen the point of landlines unless you've got some kind of call centre fetish.

    Only with cable. Sky needs a BT line (which you can only get with line rental)
