How much does your tv/ phone/ broadband cost you?

[dingit]

We are with Virgin. Our average bill is £85 per month. This includes free calls, and sports and movie channels. But it seems to go up all the time and I am getting a bit .

I would be interested what Sky people pay too.

We pay £30 a month with Sky. That's for HD, fibre optic broadband, phone line and all standard tv packages (but not sports or films). Everytime it comes to renewal we just phone up and say we're going to cancel and they generally will halve the bill. Sports we watch free online and films, if we do get them, we get via lovefilm or blockbuster.

Wow. £55 is a lot for the rest then. I've tried the I'm leaving trick, but they said I already have a discount

I rearranged my deal with virgin last week.

I only have unlimited calls and 60mb of bb (no TV) and pay £24.50. pm

Ok. So my tv costs £60! Wtf? I'm tempted to get a quote from sky, but I've heard they temp you with a low price that then rockets. The other problem is I have no Bt socket!

I pay about £55 per month for Virgin .For this I have XL Tv package which is all channels but no sky,sports or movies. Broadband and phone

I have recently subscribed to Netflix which is a good source of films and series . The biggest thing I have recently done though is to finally manage to connect all of our computers to the smart TV so we can use Youtube as a fantastic addition to normal tv .

In fact now that Ive done that I think I will cancel the TV package altogether as the smart tv also has built in freeview .

BT.. BT Vision, 24/7 inclusive phone-calls and unlimited high speed broadband and it's about 40 - 45/month depending on whether we've paid to view movies or gone over the free 1 hour phone-calls

I pay around 42 with Virgin for broadband and phone line for the L package.

I pay 22 quid for sky.. but it's just a bog standard package.

I don't have a bt socket either for the sky. I don't have it plugged in anyway.

I pay about £20 per month for unlimited broadband and free call all day. I also have a Lovefilm subscription, £7.99 per month for films. Occasionally I uses Blinkbox which is around £3.50 a film. We also have freeview. Have you thought how much you really watch sports, not just have it on? Now TV do pay per view but I don't know much about it.

The sport is the one thing we must keep! DH loves it ( would watch tiddlywinks if that was all that was on! I think then the films cost £10. They've got us haven't they!
Had an advert for talk talk today, might get a quote but again it's a low price to temp you in.

remember that all quotes tend to exclude the landline rental, which you must have.

thatsinteresting if that £20 includes the line rental, please tell me more!

Our £30 for Sky includes the line rental. So that's for all six TV packages, fibre optic broadband, phone and HD. But it doesn't include movies or sports. My OH watches all the sport online (probably through dodgy online streams) and films we have a 3.99 lovefilm subscription.
I still think this is too much as I only watch 'normal' telly and really don't see much HD difference but the man argued that we'd be paying nearly as much for just a phone line and normal broadband so I relented.

Special I signed up to Plusnet for 18months. I paid the line rentalfor 12 months in advance as it was cheaper, £10.50 instead of £14.50. There was an offer on for the first 9 months for the broadband, I got £90 cashback (Quidco and Plusnet offer) so over the term of the contract it's £19.31 per month, if I don't buy another 12 months line rental. It's worth having a look to see what they're offering now.

Alternatively, if you don't want the faff, Tesco do unlimited broadband and all day calls for £21.40 a month, and clubcard points. It's a 12 month offer but I rang them in month 11 and just asked what offers where available and they said for my loyalty I could have free unlimited broadband taking it down to £19.40 a month.

Have a look on a comparison site. Someone on here recommended Primus as they're really cheap too. £20 per month all you need to pay. Hth.

My last bill was about £25. I'm with talktalk for phone and net. For TV I have freeview, but I barely watch tv, last week I think I watched three hours in total.

They keep offering me discounts because my contract runs out next month. They are cheap, but they have annoyed me. So I may look into another provider.

I'm with BT unlimited download, free night and weekend calls and BT vision with box set package. £18.99 per month.

thatsinteresting thanks for that. Will try to get my head round it!

We pay £25 a month for line rental, all UK calls at any time of the day and broadband with Utility Warehouse. No Sky as we don't even have time to watch everything we want on Freeview.

For those with sky, is your broadband fast and reliable? I have now got a quote from sky, which gives me a £300 saving. After that the cost is the same as I am paying with virgin. Also sky have a callout fee for faults.

After 12 months that is.

We pay £30 per month & I found the above link useful to cut the cost of most of our outgoings.

talktalk tv/broadband/telephone £35pcm. half the price of bt when we switched last december. it includes free lovefilm instant via computer and some free tv extras except cos our broadband speed is slow we cant actually watch them!

£26 for unlimited Internet and downloads, includes line rental and evening and weekend calls. Don't have any tv package. But do pay £4.99 a month for Netflix

Oh that's bt btw. We didn't have a bt box either but they came and installed one and new box etc for free
