Unlimited has always been cheaper than Connect. iirc it was £10 per month, then it went to £12.50 then a fiver discount if you have Sky Line Rental so £7.50 - Connect was £17 per month.When I joined Sky I was paying an extra £10 for unlimited.~ Never, ever, argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience ~

Ask them if you could change from Connect to Unlimited.

Yes, I get TV, telephone and broadband from them - my monthly bill is just over £50 plus call charges

Re: 2 Years of terrible broadband speeds!
Give them a ring and save some money and get a better connection. The only possible problem is that there maybe no ports left at the exchange or the exchange is not LLU 'ed

Re: 2 Years of terrible broadband speeds!
If you are in Saint Asaph it is enabled by Sky, so if they say you can't get Unlimited tell them you are think of moving to TalkTalk, that my encourage them to do something. If they still say you can't get it, get in touch with TalkTalk and ask them what speed they can give you.
