Another Sky Price Increase

[Sheets Tabuer]

Is it worth ditching Sky completely? I rarely watch TV but do have it on for background noise otherwise my house would be silent, just checking my contract and it is up in March where they want to charge me £131 a month, Bizarrely they want £28 for sport despite not having the rights to anything not that I watch it but you know, sometimes it's good for the odd England game.

Thing is I pay for superfast broadband for which I get mostly around 2-3mbps, they have refunded me twice but apart from that wouldn't budge on price "because contract" We do have a mobile phone mast near the village so I actually get a decent 4g connection so that the broadband sorted but what about TV, is it worth getting a firestick? I already subscribe to Netflix, Prime and was thinking about Disney+

Pretty much sorted for £25 a month.

If you're going for Disney+, buy an annual subscription before February - it's going up from £59.99 a year to £79.99 a year (or £5.99 a month to £7.99 a month).

If you can get Virginmedia in your area that's the way to go. I gave up on Sky years ago.

We get 100MB Broadband, evenings and weekend calls for £28 pm. Add Netflix for £8 and we're set. We spend most of our time on Ytube or Netflix.

Unfortunately I can't, it's the good old green cabinet or 4g, we have heard rumours of fiber coming under some rural scheme but I've not heard anything else.

I had virgin at my last place as it was a conservation area and we weren’t allowed a sky dish on the building but now I am in suburbia I have SkyQ and it is streets ahead of virgin.
