Broadband shopping about

[toseland]

So just logged onto mySky and saw we're forking out £40 a month on internet. Wowsers as I thought we were about £26 a month. Turns out the nice introductory period of £5er a month stopped in September and they bumped us up to £20 + line rental + £4 extra for some new call package thing that put us onto when we dont even use the phone

So it's time to shop around. However what I'd really like it to stick with sky but be charged the same as their "new" customers , is a phone call to the customer services team likely to get me that? I hate phone calls and having to try and swindle stuff when it'd be so much easier to say "cut the bullsht and drop my monthly cost"

How bad is talktalk? Alot of people moaned about them when i was looking last but can they really be that bad?

Is the activation fee still chargeable when I already have a working line (in a flat). Can't remember as it was over a year ago i had to deal with this all

Talktalk are shit...
the activation fee is still chargeable, doesnt matter as they are still sending an engineer (read: someone at a computer who is employed to do this) to change the lines over
talktalk are shit

stick with sky and make a habit of calling every 6 months or so and whining about leaving.. they will keep you on a perpetual offer of some sort..  i have been paying £20 for sky for the last 3 years or so., my bill with TV rarely goes over £45 even if i make calls
