I'm moving house next month and I'm wondering whether to change TV provider. I currently subscribe to Sky - with all movies, all sports, HD, etc + broadband. I'm currently paying £107pm and was wondering if there are better deals out there. Not just price but hardware, Nobs & whistles etc. Anyone have any views/advice?

YouView is a decent system and the Humax box is great.

We supplement ours with a Chromecast and NowTV, so have pretty much anything we'd want to use available to us.

Lots of good broadband providers without needing to fall back to the big three. I'm with Zen.

I'm also with Zen, worth every single penny. Cannot speak highly enough of them.

From personal experience, everyone I know who uses Talk Talk , BT , or Sky has some form of problem, sometimes several, and the throttling often causes piss poor performance. If Broadband is important to you then Zen is the answer.

Its not often I enthuse about anything, like this, so I must add, I use Zen as a customer only, my sole relationship with them.

Well I ordered Zen for phone and broadband (fibre optic). The phone was answered in a couple of rings by someone who spoke and understood English, new what they were talking about and seemed a way better than Sky and infinitely better than BT. I just hope it works on the day of the 'switch on'.
