    We have UPC cable (not HD) broadband and phone and a Sky guy came to the door to suggest we switch the TV part over for 27€ pm for the basic package, equipment and installation free (assuming we sign for movies/sport and promptly cancel :rolleyes: ) .

    We've had UPC digital etc for years so shouldn't be tied into anything i'd assume, but will they unbundle the TV without any issues? and any disadvantages to switching?

    I was with UPC and the same thing happened. A guy came to the door and offered me a great deal. He even gave me a letter to send to UPC so cancel my account because I was still in contract and this way he was able to get me out of it. Everything went grand with the switch over until I started getting massive bills. When I asked Sky about them they couldn't tell me what all the different charges were for. They added up to 150 euro on top of the monthly subscription. I refused to pay it on the grounds that they couldn't explain to me what the charges were for. They eventually just cut me off and I was left with no broadband and no tv. Now I am back with eircom for my broadband and have sorview for my tv.
