Sky to expensive any alternatives?

YouFibre was the one I'm most considering. It's £20 a month and they do say no price hikes in contract but even if that were not the case if YoyFibre and Sky were to go up by the same amount each year I'd still save the initial £28 a month difference.

The Broadband company is YouFibre, the MSE deal is £20pm with no mid contract price rises so sounds really good but I need to properly look at terms etc first.

So glad I moved from Vodafone to Lebara though! The deal was cracking.

£1.70 a month for 3 months then £6.90 thereafter for 35G data and unlimited calls / texts with an added bonus 9f free EU roaming.

Was paying Vodafone £28 for 25G data and no roaming because the anual increase was £4 it just kept creeping up slowly.

Interesting to hear that Lebara has not increased prices for 3 years though.

 I'm pleasantly surprised too, I've noticed no difference whatsoever in signal quality or Internet speeds although Lebara does use Vodafones network.

Ah, that explains why I can't see it on my postcode, they don't service us here.

YouFibre doesn't cover most places: it's one of the smaller altnet providers which is installing its own private optical infrastructure serving limited geographical areas.

Altnets can certainly be cheaper though, because they don't use the national Openreach network and so aren't paying BT Wholesale for optical circuits.  They can also choose to use startup capital and investment funding to offer extremely low pricing to attract customers, although that's not necessarily a sustainable strategy in the long term.

It covers my postcode luckily. I'm sure it'll cover more of the UK in time.

Also just realised that Lebara do home Broadband 😳

Currently looking into that!
