ok, this may take some time to read, so i will try to cut it down.....
got bt broadband, running 2 pc's with bt voyager router, also have sky digital seperate, would it be cheaper to change to telewest and get sky and braodband thru them, and would i still be able to use my bt voyager router on telewest and would i have to close my sky account. reason i'm askin is to try and save some money, at the mo, am paying around £80 ish for full sky and bt broadband, telewest have been a bit vague in telling me i could save money.
any help is greatly appreciated.

change your isp to www.freedom2surf.net - you wont save anything by switching to telewest.

ok, thanx, but i guess what i am really asking as will my bt voyager router work if i do switch from bt broadband to another phone company and use their broadband. i dont want to fork out for another router if my existing one doesnt work with someone else.(if that makes any sense!)

but will i save money, i've got the full sky package, £42 p/m and bt broadband inc calls around £40 p/m also. can i still get the same sky package and broadband whilst using a bt's router cheaper with someone else? doesnt have to be sky digital. as long as i have all sky and broadband using 2 pc's, tho i guess i will be stuck with a digi box and dish.

thanx gazza, bin there. still doesnt help me much tho as apparently my address isnt there, so i've had to email them.
was just wondering if anyone else had full sky package and broadband how much they paid a month for the job lot, depending on their av. phone calls
