What do you pay for Sky / Virgin media

Read the Hyperoptic thread in the Networking section before you commit to it, a lot of people seem to be far less happy with the service these days.
 
I have read the thread and asked some questions which I could not see answeres too.

These are the prices from what I can see

Hyperoptic
1Gb £44.5
100mb £26.50
20mb £16

Sky 76Mb £46.40
BT 76Mb £43

The Hyperoptic 100Mb works out at £26.50 a month which is quite nice

What ADSL speed were you quoted?

By the Sky rep? He didn't say, just that standard broadband was free with the phone line

Should I check? edit, there seem to be plenty of checkers but I am not sure of the current landline number (as have not moved in yet)

I may have overlooked something.

Do you also need a Sky landline for £16.40 a month just for TV? It looks like I can continue with the order for TV package without one

It also says;

'Sky TV prices will change on 1 June'
'Hurry - offer ends 25 June'

edit - I used the Sky online chat and a rep confirmed a phone line is not required. Just said to select 'I have ordered one already'
Regarding the friends and family complete bundle expiry, is this 25th June or 1st June? On the email it says 1st June but on the website it says 1st June. The rep asked to take my offer code to check this but did not provide it (the email with offer code says 25th June) Just need to confirm because we do not move into our property until 4th July so there's no point ordered until late June - Same with broadband / Fibre

I've been told 25th June. As long as you book before then it won't matter if you reschedule your install five times, as long as the original booking is before then.

I said to you previously, as the code I gave you is for a specific cost, not a percentage discount the price rises won't affect you until the offer expires.
 
Cool, cheers for confirming. I have just ordered with setup and contract running from the date we move in.

I must say, I lot better experience than I had when ordering Sky a few years ago
 
SKY

We have multiroom/HD/Sports etc except movies/broadband/phone and pay £42pm

Virgin

We have basic phone + 152mb broadband and pay £32pm

TOTAL

£74 (can vary if we use the house phone for calls but rarely do)

personally i find SKY HD so much clearer and sharper than virgin which is why we have a split package

MissChief, is it too late for that price if it's not been installed yet?

I'm not sure. I can send a code along and you can phone and ask. If they don't apply it then you could cancel it and re-order and they will want to avoid that. Trust me your email address and I will send a code tonight.
