    Just wondering what the average price per month to be paying for TV, phone and broadband is these days.

    Currently I pay:

    TV - €18.50 - For Sky not the basic package, one step above it.

    Phone - €35 - covers all phone calls, texts and 15GB data.

    Internet - €15 for 50GB allowance.

    TOTAL: €68.50 per month.

    How about the rest of you lot, how much on average are you spending per month on the aforementioned services?

    €32 for broadband. Work pays for most of my calls, so my phone bill is normally less than €10. Nothing for TV bar the licence.

    Why do people create these threads? you see them alot more lately in After Hours.

    You know, the kind of "what did you eat today?" - "How much do you weigh?" - "how much do you earn?" - "what tv sports package do you get?"

    Who cares :pac:

    Only new to UPC so stuck with €75 package

    Mobile with meteor €40 for unlimited calls, texts and 18gb internet

    All in all around €110 monthly


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,380 ✭✭✭✭Banjo String


    Have a phone for business, and operate a home office so that takes care off the home phone and broadband (about 50 for mobile and 30 for landline/broadband) .


    Pay about 35 for sky, that's multiroom with everything bar movies and sports (because I have a chromecast) wink wink.

    I hope you mean 200gb, 200mb would be gone in minutes!

    I'm in a shared house so things work out a bit cheaper.

    Sky is a bit messy to explain as it's not divided equally (3 of us in the house) due to me wanting all the sports but the other housemates not.

    Sky - 31 per month (full basic pack + sky sports + BT sport) it's the half price deal of 35 per month (overall) + 10 a month for BT but I pay more than 1/3.

    Internet - 25 per month. 15 as my share of a 50 mb UPC pack (45 overall) and 10 euro a month for an O2 dongle on a student deal for my home house.

    Phone - 35 per month for unlimited calls texts and 15Gb of data (can be 36 or 37 euro some months if I make an odd international call etc.)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,331 ✭✭✭lau1247


    Internet (shared) works out to 13 euro
    Mobile 15 euro (don't top up unless credit is gone so can vary

    All in all ranging from 13 to 28


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,429 ✭✭✭Kenjataimu


    Freesat tv = free
    Internet = 20
    Phone = 20

    40 a month

    87 - for UPC. That all the sport (hubby wants them), TV, landline calls, and damn fast broadband.

    30 for Vodafone - unlimited calls and texts, ok virtually unlimited. I think it is 45000 of each a month, which is huge.

    Must get a Chromecast actually.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,880 ✭✭✭Ah-Watch


    €30 - bill pay phone from VF
    €25- unlimited Broadband , again Vodafone
    €5 odd for American Netflix subscription.
