I've just spoken to them, they gave me some spiel about the price going up next month and they could get the cost down to 176, when I said that was too much they said 169, then 152 then 110 going up to 136 in three months.

Looking on their website I can get the new Sky Glass tv with broadband and all channels for £65 a month!

I'm gonna sign up via their website then cancel the existing contract.

Just be aware you can’t record with Sky Glass as it’s all streamed but if this isn’t an issue then it’s a no brainer! If you want to keep Sky Q, cancel and they will call you within 2 weeks with a retention offer that should be around the lowest they can get it.

I think broadband is just under 70 and the subs for Netflix Prime Disney NowTV Paramount and Apple come in at around 60 as well.
I never watch actual TV, always streaming.

Have you checked out what you can get elsewhere and phoned up for a deal / discount with Sky?

£180 pm. That's ridiculous.

Over 2k per year, and nearly 11k for 5 years if it doesn't increase.

I pay about £55 pm for bt broadband, tv and sport package.
And I think that's too much.

Haydenn · 27/03/2024 14:13

Holy fuck! I’ve learned something today, had no idea these things were so expensive. £21 for internet and a TV license that I am thinking about giving up because it seemed too pricey!!

Dozycuntlaters · 27/03/2024 14:13

£27 for broadband through UW and £10 for Now TV

Bearbookagainandagain · 27/03/2024 14:10

We pay just under 30 quids a month for fast fibre, plus about 30-40 pounds for subscription to Netflix, All4+ and the like (but we cancel those when we don't use them).

Are you a new customer? They seem to have great deals for new customers but the loyal ones they've had for years they rip off.

£48 for broadband and basic Sky channels plus £11 Netflix which is about to be cut. Motogp is watched via DM BT subscription which she fets free and doesn't watch.

Dartmoorcheffy · 27/03/2024 14:05

I think we pay around 150 a month, but we do watch a lot. Dp has all his sports and we watch plenty of movies. We don't really go out drinking but we enjoy chilling out watching stuff.

CranfordScones · 27/03/2024 14:02

I didn't think people actually paid that much! I pay £25 a month for v. reliable broadband and £10 for the copper line - no actual phone.
Nothing else: no licence fee, no subscriptions.

How do people find the time to do anything else? It must be like a gym membership where you feel you have to spend hours a day watching tv because you've paid for it? I don't understand...

Bloom15 · 27/03/2024 13:59

We pay £69 for Virgin - that includes broadband and the tv package includes Sky Sports and Sky Movies.

My DH and myself wfh and the internet is fine

PurpleFlower1983 · 27/03/2024 13:59

£90 a month for Sky TV, Sky Talk and broadband. Full Sky Package including cinema and sports, Netflix etc. Some of you need to phone up and negotiate hard! They put ours up to £170 and I phoned and gave notice to cancel. They came back with £90 a week later.

Dutchesss · 27/03/2024 13:53

Broadband £24 with Virgin.
Netflix £7
Disney £7
Prime £5
TV licence is more than I would like and we very rarely watch iPlayer. Probably once a fortnight.

Jovacknockowitch · 27/03/2024 13:50

Fuck to paying Sky anything.
£37 for Broadband.

SlowlyLurking · 27/03/2024 13:50

Virgin also pays for our Netflix I should say in that price

SlowlyLurking · 27/03/2024 13:50

Virgin with Sky Sports and Sky Cinema, exceptionally fast broadband etc for £74

Pinkdelight3 · 27/03/2024 13:47

If you threaten to leave, they'll offer you a much better deal. They'll do anything to keep you. If you stick with the standard rate, they mug you off.

Nots456 · 27/03/2024 13:45

No broadband, no TV packages or Netflix.
I pay £11 per month for 100GB on my SIM only mobile and hotspot all internet from that. Very occasionally watch YouTube or listen to the radio

What are you talking about Sherrie?

I'm trying to reduce my costs so am asking other people what service they use and how much they pay. How is that humblebragging?

Some of these costs are insane! I pay:

£24/month for 100mb full fibre Sky broadband
£12/month for Sky (Now tv) entertainment & movies with multi screen
£5/month Netflix
Total - £41/month

SpringOfContentment · 27/03/2024 13:27

37 for virgin broadband - fastest in the area by miles.
Plus Netflix. Which, because of where we lived when we took it out is priced in US$ so changes every month. Around £9, usually.

So, £46.

Had to ring virgin on renewal to ask what deals they had on, but they quickly brought it down from £50 to £37. Worth ringing sky.

OhhhhhhhhBiscuits · 27/03/2024 13:22

£46 for sky TV, broadband and netflix.

Then have disney plus paid with tesco clubcard vouchers and then amazon prime at 8.99.

I could not imagine paying 185 a month for TV and broadband.

YouAndMeAndThem · 27/03/2024 13:19

Less than £50 for fibre broadband, netflix, Disney and paramount

SocksAndTheCity · 27/03/2024 13:19

I forgot my broadband - I have 3 4G at £11 a month, which is half price for the first year. I don't need or want a land line phone so it's perfect

£16.99 total.
