We are also with Sky for broadband and TV, we pay £185 but that includes pretty much everything I think, Sky sports, Netflix via Sky, Cinema etc x

Jeeze, we were paying nearly £95 and cancelled it as we thought it wasn't worth it

RinklyRomaine · 27/03/2024 12:23

Sky plus Netflix and Disney. Under £100 for all of it. Inclu their max broadband for techie wfh. Ring Sky and tell them you're leaving, they'll knock loads off.

That’s about what we pay for broadband and all the channels.
We have 3 hub/box things, not sure if that’s extra or not, we paid to have them in the first place but I don’t know if it costs us more per month to have extra boxes.

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 27/03/2024 12:25

We pay £158 for TV and fibre broadband. I need to call them to see if I can get it down a bit but we need the sport so that hikes up the price.

Minikievs · 27/03/2024 12:28

£72 for sky (just reduced to £59 after I rang them) for HD, signature, Netflix and cinema
Broadband is separate at £61 for virgin fibre super fast

I'm with BT for broadband and have a Roku TV which I have prime, Netflix, Disney. £80 a month all told

35965a · 27/03/2024 12:29

We pay £80 with sky, that’s the internet, Sky tv (not the kids or movies or sport though) and Netflix included

travelmadmum23 · 27/03/2024 12:30

£76 for BB, Sky Cinema, Sky TV, HD, Netflix,

My friend has a fully loaded fire stick which she paid £100 for. Has everything on, sports, netflix, disney, box sets, movies etc. Always an option for people if they can cope with the morality of it.

Crikey so big numbers here! We pay £25 per month for FTTP with Community Fibre with a access to all the free media players and we pay an additional £9.99 for Netflix that more than covers our TV needs. We are actually considering getting rid of Netflix.

Unreasonable? Plain stupid, really.

Nolongera · 27/03/2024 12:34

£22 a month for broadband and Freeview .

NotFastButFurious · 27/03/2024 12:37

Less than £70 a month with virgin for landline, high speed broadband and basic TV package including the Tivo box you can record on. I've recently had an email to say prices are going up due to inflation so I'll be ringing to negotiate a reduction!

OldTinHat · 27/03/2024 12:37

*thud!

I pay £16.50 for broadband. No TV subscriptions, but I can watch everything via Freeview or a torrent streaming service for free.

Yes, do this.

Think we pay just over£100 and that's for Netflix, broadband, landline and movies. SkyQ or whatever it's called and multi room.

I too sail the seven seas ☠️

claudiawinklemansfringetrimmer · 27/03/2024 12:42

We pay £30 for broadband, £8 for Disney plus, £11 for Netflix and £9 for prime. So £58. I can’t imagine what I’d watch on Sky that would be worth an extra £120 a month to me!

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 27/03/2024 12:43

We sneekily watch television through our neighbour's window. It's free but we do have to watch what they watch - and they do chose some awful rubbish.

Also, it's not very nice for us stuck outside when it's cold and raining.

mcdonaldschip · 27/03/2024 12:44

We're with BT. It's £67 a month, includes Now TV, Netflix (highest tier), Xbox game pass, 500mb/s, TV, and a phone line. We were bought out by them. We were originally with Virgin for £50 a month for 350mb/s, TV and a phone line. We were paying £15 a month for Netflix on top of that.

ByUmberViewer · 27/03/2024 12:45

If I had £180 spare every month I'd buy private medical insurance not Sky TV.

Boomer55 · 27/03/2024 12:45

£115 for all TV (not sport) Netflix, wi-fi and unlimited calls on landline. It’s very reliable.

anicecuppateaa · 27/03/2024 12:47

Sky broadband, tv and netflix is £78 a month. We were years out of contract and just got a new deal.

WalkingonWheels · 27/03/2024 12:48

I'm with Sky. I have the superfast fibre broadband, Netflix, Disney +, and Sky TV and pay £42 a month. I think you're being conned a bit there.
