I’ve had no issues with Sky – I have their ADSL Unlimited service. I went back to them after a short ( cheap, but uneventful ) contract from TalkTalk.
My contract is up later this month. I want to go fibre, ( don’t need to, just want!! ) but annoyingly, their offer is for a basic fibre package which has a 25Gig limit on it, so I’d need their next one up. This makes it more expensive.
We’ve just had Virgin cable up the village and surrounding areas, so I might check out their packages. I’ll likely stay with Sky for my TV, as we tend to watch programmes on the channels that aren’t available elsewhere. I’ll be trying to leverage Sky to give me a better deal.
On a similar note, I’ve just had renewals through for my house insurance and RAC cover. They’ve both gone up hugely over the last couple of years with me not paying attention.
The RAC wanted £274 for Personal Cover x 2, plus Roadside Recovery, Recovery and At Home. I phoned them and moaned about the cost and suggested cutting back on the cover. I told them I wanted Vehicle Cover x2, plus National Recovery and At Home which the website showed as £138.99. They offered to maintain the existing cover for £162.01 – I accepted.
Buildings and Contents insurance with the Nationwide had gone up to £647 over the last few years ( one claim for lightning damage, back in 2014) – and as my Car Insurance with LV is up for renewal, I thought I’d check with them as they offer Discounts for more insurances. Got quoted £300 for identical cover, so when it comes round for renewal next month, I know where I’m going!!
