TV 4 Pack £20.50 (can choose less)
Sports - £18
Sky Talk Unlimited & Line Rental - £16 (free UK & International calls 24/7 excluding mobiles and 08 numbers)
Broadband Mid 10 MB £5 (includes £5 discount for having Sky TV)

Total £59.50

If you go with Sky for the phone you can keep your number and you won't have to do anthing to change over.  Sky handle it all for you.

They are currently doing an refer a friend offer where you get £50 M&S vouchers if you take the offer up before 3rd Feb.  If you want a referral let me know.  I was with Virgin and Sky are miles better.  The Sky+ box is the dogs bollocks !

Only complaint i have with Sky is you cannot get a Sky plus box with their freeview.

They should change this.

If you inform that you are actually running a charitable organisation they may do something.

Most of the pubs around us took the decision it was not finacially worth it keep sky TV in, they moved away from trying to attract the football crowd and it seemed to work for them. If a bar/pub/club needs sky sports live events to keep going then their is something wrong with their business model.

Sorry Mate was being smart, some seem to forget Sky is a business and our first responsibility is to the shareholders etc.

I expect you are getting hammered as our prices are based on rateable values iirc and a snooker club will have quite a bit of floor space. Isn't there another pricing model they can apply for the likes of you (serious question this time Smiley )

the problem for us is that we only choose to show the football in an enclosed bar area as obviously snooker players dont want tvs when they are playing.
our bar area is approx 500 sq feet whereas the whole building is  probably in the region of 5000.
sky insist on quoting us based on the whole area even though we have no intention of showing it outsise the bar area.

thats our quandary.

i agree though it doesnt hurt for businesses to explore other avenues to bring in custom for example in our case  football which isnt the sole purpose of our business

Digi Alb FTW!
ITB, You might want to look at going down this route?
Cost wise its cheap to set up, a you get loads of footy.

Only problem is that its slightly dodgy regarding other pubs and that getting pissy as they are paying sky prices etc but if you keep it quiet and dont rub it in there face you should be ok.
