However it is also possible to go back to BT and do the following:
Be on BT Weekends plan or I think the Light User Scheme
And take out Sky Broadband and Sky Talk

You cannot get Sky broadband when on Light User Scheme.

Alternatively, you do not have to take Sky Talk as it seems more expensive than BT's offering.
If I couldn't get Virgin Media cable services and had to go with Sky, I would do the following:
Use BT Anytime Calls (BT Together Option 3)
Sky Broadband
Sky TV
Remember you don't need Sky Talk for Sky Broadband! You just need Sky TV in order to get Sky Talk or Sky Broadband or any combination of the two.
Sky Talk seems a bit more pricier than BT.
Sky Talk Anytime calls costs £5 per month where as BT Anytime calls costs £4.95 per month, With Sky Talk you don't get inclusive 0845 and 0870 calls unlike BT where such numbers are included. Furthermore, calls to 0843,08440871,0872,0873 and premium rate services are also cheaper as BT's call connection fee is also lower.

This may be pedantry but 0870 is free on Sky Talk too. And you get 20 countries abroad which are free.
BT's October price rises also take their chargeable call rates above Sky's.
As to which is cheaper it really depends on what type of calls you make. With family in USA or Australia then Sky Talk might be cheaper but if you never call abroad then this might be pointless and you'd rather save 5p.

But you do need to contact Sky's sales team to get such services, the website doesn't show it as Sky don't like the idea of you keeping your line rental with BT.

On balance I would recommend you keep the line rental with BT as despite what Ignitionnet's friend on 3rd Line says, if you get a problem with your line on SVBN then 1st and 2nd line support seem clueless about how to resolve many of them.
