Thumbs up Sky Questions

I thinking of having Sky installed now that Cable has moved to N3..
This is the Package ive seen & im thinking about having..

Sky TV..
All entertainment,Movies & Sports = £48.50 a Month..
Sky Broadband & Talk..
Broad Band Everday Light = Free
Talk Unlimited & Line Rental = £16 a Month
Sky Boxes..
Sky + Box & Standard Set Up = Free
Additional Boxes..
Standard Sky Box & Standard Set Up = Free
Multiroom Subscription = £10 a Month
All for £74.50 a month..

Here are my questions..

1) Is it worth me swapping the Broadband Every Day Light for Broadband Unlimited??..
I would be paying an Extra £7.50 a Month but its Unlimited download instead of 2GB..
I do download abit..


2) The Free Sky + Box how many GB is it as it says it holds 180hrs on the Sky Web page..

Im asking as ive seen a few for sale on ebay & will be buying one to replace the Standard Sky Box (Multiroom),Dont fancy paying the £199 Sky want for an extra Sky + Box when on ebay they 500GB & 1000GB for under that..


Thanks for all your help..

Don't know the answer to the 2nd part.

But for part 1 check your data usage. I was considering going to Sky, and asked them what would happen if I went over the 2GB, they said easy,, just upgrade to the unlimited if that happens, no problem. So see how it goes on the cheapy.

It depends how heavily you use internet. I think they charge per MB or GB (not sure probably GB to more realistic) if you go over which in the long run could cost more than paying for unlimited and the internet speeds are really slow too so if you download (even a bit) then i would say go for unlimited or the one above everday lite.

For the Sky+ box i would say about 120-200gb i think not sure what they supply now.
