I was on 4mb Broadband package and Phone for £39.50 a month. (£25 for BB and £14.50 for Phone)
Told them I was going to go to Sky.
They offered me XL package (up to 10mb) and Phone for £24.50. Saving me £15 a month - That'll pay for my Napster subscription
Worth haggling!

cue a cry of despair from the front room this morning as les realised he no longer had sky sports news to watch whilst eating his crumpets!!!
is it still available on free view anyone know?
we cancelled ntl a month ago as we're moving and it runs out tomorrow anyway, but will it still be on freeview?
the message that virgin media have to their customers is quite funny as well!!!! anyone else read it?
hehe!
Should be safe for a few months (probably aiming for the start of next season).
Sky+ is all you need.
Get yourselves one of these instead: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Humax-PVR9200T-Set-Top-Box/dp/B000BO2F6M/ref=pd_ka_1/026-7658546-1910011?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1172748205&sr=8-1
Fantastic.
The Humax above has two freeview tuners, so you can record and watch different programmes - or you can pick up a decent tuner for £30 in Argos (Wharfdale) - or get both.
LOL, fair play SS ;-)
The Sky HD box cost me less than that Humax you mentioned... Yes I pay an extra £10 a month, but the extra picture quality is worth every penny....
what is this then salad, i am a bit of a techno-phobe and i wanna no what this thing is! It dont tell y afook all on that site! I aint got sky or nothing, but am in the hunt for a new digibox, as my one is so old it must of been the first ever one!
Problem is don't you need a BT line for all the Sky stuff? That costs about £100 to get installed I think - my phone is NTL and so I get everything else through them. If I'm wrong someone please let me know because the NTL service is sooooo slow...
dont have a pooter at home to get broadband, but the package with ntl was definately the best. at the time. shame its so rubbish.
You get one-touch recording to it's hard drive - just click OK on a program in the on screen TV Guide and it will record - or just press the record button to start recording what you are watching. Easy peasy.
You can do "chase play" ie. start watching something from the beginning before it has finished recording, and pause/rewind live TV.
Eg1. set Shameless to record .... get in ten minutes late .... start watching it from the beginning .... skip the adverts and you might even catch up to real time.
Eg2. Watching football or film and you need the loo / another beer - just press pause, come back in a minute and continue from where you were - perhaps catch up at half-time.
To select a recorded programme is easy - just press the list button and everythig you have recorded is listed on the screen - including programme name, date & time.
It has two freeview tuners by the way - so you can record two channels at once .... or watch one channel and record another.
No subscription fes, although there are one or two free updates a year to the software (which are just broadcast to the box!)
Here is a review:
T3 review Jan 2006
Note that review is out of date, because the issue it refers to at the end no longer applies because of a software update last year to enable chase play.
Mate at work has been waiting 11 weeks....!
Personally my broadband is Ntl (or whatever it is called today) - but waiting to jump ship at the first good opportunity - eg Tiscali do it for £12.99 but everyone says they're rubbish, so I'm waiting for another option about the same price.
