It was always speculation, or guesswork, in the press.
It will be disappointing if there are no reductions, though.
I've been tempted by Plusnet for a while but the last time I threatened to leave Sky offered a £10 a month reduction for 3 months. I'll wait for that to expire and think again.
I dont think I be jumping to BT, been loyal to sky from day 1 of sky digital. No wonder I am poor.
I am sports mad and worried about first picks, I know there be no discount on £12/15
Anyone who is staying on sky and getting BT sport channels on sky??
Yes I've got Sky Broadband and the full Sky TV package and I've paid the £15.00 activation fee for BT Sports. But luckily I got ESPN as a Christmas present every year from my cousin and he's going to continue paying for BT Sports for me. :):):):)

I posted this on the BT Sport thread but copy it below - not sure if one off or if more subscribers will get this email.
I got an email from Sky (under the banner a big thank you from us) offering half price broadband for 12 months if I continue to subscribe to Sky (Unlimited at £3.75 pm, Pro at £10.00). You just need to call them to sign up.
Hopefully, it will be the consumer who now benefits from the Sky vs. BT competition that's going on in the form of new offers and attractive retention deals. It's a pity that the energy utility market isn't this competitive.
just got a email from sky saying because i am a loyal sky tv customer my broadband is now half price. i just need to phone cust services to get it started
Your Sky Broadband Unlimited half price or 50% off Sky Fibre Unlimited for a whole year:-
As our way of saying thank you for being a Sky TV customer, we'd like to halve the cost of your Sky Broadband – whichever option you choose.
Your Sky Broadband Unlimited – half price for an entire year
You'll only pay £3.75 a month for a year when you agree to another 12 months of Sky Broadband Unlimited. That's £12 a month less than the standard cost of BT's equivalent broadband.
And of course, when we say unlimited, we mean totally unlimited. You can get online as much as you like and we won't slow you down – even at peak times.
Or upgrade with a huge 50% off superfast Sky Fibre Unlimited for a whole year
If you have a large household, or just want superfast broadband, you might want to consider Sky Fibre Unlimited. It's available in your area, we'll just need to check it's available in your home. You'll be able to watch HD videos, while others download large files and play multi-player games online – And it's just £10 a month for the first 12 months.
Whichever offer you choose, you'll need Sky Line Rental at £14.50 a month with Sky Talk.
Here's to big savings
Our Customer Service Team are waiting to renew your Sky Broadband at half the price – all you need to do is decide which offer suits you best and give them a call on 08442 410 883 by 8 August 2013.
So, is this offer just for those already on broadband, or will it be rolled out to new customers as well (that's a new one, EXISTING CUSTOMERS ONLY, people always harping on about new customers only lol).

You would need to put your tel No. or postcode into a BB checker to see if Sky fibre is available in your area. Because for most, it won't -
