#33 Freesat

12 months ago we were able to sign up to a great Sky tv/phone/internet deal. £35 all inclusive per month, including line rental.

This month that deal ended and to stick with the same deal would have increased our monthly bill to over £100.

Obviously this wasn't an option.

Having looked around what we've plucked for is a Freesat box with HD and pause/record functionality + the cheapest internet we could find, which this month was PlusNet.

We have exchanged £184 up front for the Freesat box for no on-going monthly contract for TV.

Our internet and line rental is now £16.99 per month. TV = free.

Each month this means we'll be spending £18 less than with previously Sky.

After 10.2 months we'll have covered the cost of the Freesat box initial outlay and will be spending less money that if we hadn't made this decision.

It is a nice feeling to 1) reduce monthly expenditure and 2) remove ourselves from the dependency of a TV contract.
