By paying £180 a month for Sky TV and broadband

[teaandcake32]

Who are you with and how much do you pay?

We cancelled Sky and got Apple TV boxes instead! Sooooo much better

still pay for Netflix and broadband but a fraction of the cost of Sky

I definitely don't use an IPTV service to get just about every channel in the world for under a tenner a month.

I've got a VPN and set it to Eastern Europe, subscribed to one of the services out there for £20 per month for films, tv and the complete sports package. Very good value. Sky at £180 is far too much.

I pay £25 for Now broadband (I think?). It’s crap though, I need to find a better company and I’d rather pay a bit more. I don’t have sky/virgin as there’s nothing worth paying for on there for me. Kids have ADHD (as do I 🤣) so they’re not bothered to sit in front of kids tv or movies. Have a smart TV with YouTube/streaming services, I pay for Nexflix and Prime, use my ex’s Disney account (he uses my prime). I also have an accidental Paramount account which I keep meaning to cancel 😑. I prefer streaming as can stick on old programmes for background noise, just don’t have the care for many new shows (apart from The Gentlemen which was absolutely fantastic and worth a whole year of Netflix payments!)

Just over £30pcm for Broadband, but DH can claim half of that back from.his work.

No TV packages. I can't imagine paying £180 per month to watch TV. We used to have Netflix but cancelled it as we rarely watched it. We do have Prime but rarely watch that either.

Out of interest, how do people fit in the time to watch that much TV? Not trying to be goady, but after we've stopped working, cooked dinner and sat down in front of the TV We have maybe 2 hours. I can't think what's worth watching in that time that we couldn't get on FreeView. Do people watch series that are only available on Sky? Do most people with these large TV packages eat really early and go to bed really late?

£52 for broadband including NOW tv and Netflix

£24 for broadband and Freesat.

They beg me to come back periodically even though the engineer came and told us he couldn't phsyically attach the signal dish to our property. ugh.

Probably because you don't need a dish for sky anymore.

We pay £7/month for Netflix and £23 for broadband. No TV licence or other subscriptions. Barely watch an hour of TV per day, it's not worth having anything else!

We're with Sky (and gave been for about 15 years).

We pay just under £80pm for TV, unlimited broadband & phone (landline).

We don't have sports or movies though, as Netflix is included and we also have Paramount + and Disney + via friends accounts.

I pay £38 for broadband with ee

then I pay for Netflix, Disney, Amazon and now tv.

We pay £46 for Virgin Fibre broadband, landline, TV and Sky movies.

We also have Prime, Disney+ and Apple TV at the moment, sometimes swap them for Netflix, Now TV etc.

DH phones and negotiates every time the contract is up for renewal.

£34 pm for broadband with virgin.
I have IPTV which gives me every sky channel, Disney, BT and Netflix etc for £30 per year

£25 for Fibre. Yohoho and a bottle of rum fufils the rest.

We pay £74 for Virgin TV (full package including Sky Sports, Sky Cinema), broadband (1GB) and phone (all calls anytime included).

Some of these prices are insanity. I get that the sports coverage is expensive but the rest is mad.

I wouldn't mind if telly was good but the vast, vast majority of it is absolute shite!

We either watch (well, I read) something rubbish on catch-up, or buy DVDs secondhand from when stuff used to be good (Sopranos, the Wire etc)

I’m off to the seven seas ☠️

We pay £28.50 for broadband (RPI increase from £25 this month), £13.35 for TV licence, £6.99 for Prime (via O2, predominantly for delivery), and currently £1 for Sky Cinema via Now.

We don't have an aerial, so watch everything via the Smart TV.

I pay £46 for broadband, Netflix, Disney and Prime. I could never bring myself to pay anywhere near ehat lots seems to pay for TV.

We pay £41 for superfast broadband and netflix with Sky. Have got apple free for a year through phone.

I pay £168 to Virgin Media for superfast broadband, full TV package, Sky Sport, Sky Movies, BT Sport, phone line and 1 mobile contract. I don't get Sky Atlantic though. I'm going to review it because I've got a new phone contract with Smarty for unlimited data, unlimited calls, unlimited text and unlimited tethering. All for £16 a month for a year.

If you're thinking of switching- get a quote from a competitor. As a pp said , be firm and prepared to negotiate. We were paying £150 with Sky after the contract ended . We were quoted £85 with Virgin , Sky brought ours down to £83 .

That seems a ridiculous amount to pay for sky!

Even if you subscribe separately for all the streaming!

I cancelled sky years ago, complete waste of money.

Although if I want to watch the latest sky stuff I subscribe to now tv , watch it all and cancel it.

Are you crazy? I pay £25 a month for broadband then £60 a year to have the fire stick ‘fixed’ to get all that you have and more.
