Two years' free Sky broadband - What's the catch?

[SueEllen]

You'll probably find the God channels are free.

Praise the Lord!

I gather Sky throw in two years' free broadband when one signs up for their TV package.

What's the catch? Diabolical service? Limited Internet access through a router they insist one uses?

Now FREE with sky!

I think SKY are getting absolutely hammered by BT at the moment and will be for the foreseeable future due to BT buying all the football and giving it away free.

How do I get free football from BT?

Yippee! I miss all those warbling noises - At least you knew something was happening.

The biggest catch about the 2 years free broadband is it's advertised as being the 'home of the UEFA Champions League' which it is; for the next year. After that it's BTs and to get the best deal for BT sport, you need BT broadband. Clever by Sky, not sure it should be legal though.

The catch is you have to pay a stupid amount for Sky TV, which gets you hardly anything not on FTA - only the option to pay even more to watch sport/movies.

Their ADSL was just fine for us when we had a similar deal, and we're still on it in fact.

5 quid on top of the basic sky package for entertainments plus gets you quite a lot really.

Add in SKY Go and the ability to remote record and it works out a decent package.

Plus On Demand stuff, always useful when the kids decide to record something and cause Corrie not to record....

If you don't get sport or movie channels, what is there that's worth paying for? Atlantic?
