I was in the uk last year, for my standard sky it was £16. Then I added 2 packages for a pound each. So my sky was £18. I then had my broadband and sky talk with them. Because i got sky talk for £5 a month my broadband was free.
So in totally it cost me £23.
Sky talk for £5 a month let me call any landline number in the UK, Ireland, Canada ( there were others as well, cant remember what as i didn't need to call those countries ) you just had to hang up before the hour and call back again.
Now the fun part....... for my sky in Ireland it costs €50. The only difference is in Ireland I now have the sports package ( not sure how much extra this would of cost in UK )
I do have unlimited calls to irish and uk landlines, and with my broadband as well i'm paying €55 a month.
So thats €105 i'm paying a month compared to £23 that i was paying for the exact same in the UK.
