LONDON, August 2, 2010 - Sky and Simplifydigital - the UK's only Ofcom accredited retailer of
digital TV, broadband and home phone deals - have released new data on the
savings available by "bundling" digital TV, broadband and home phone services
with a single provider. The latest data shows that a staggering GBP760 per
year can be saved by choosing the best digital bundle deal.

The data comes from a sample of 400 customers between January and May
2010
. The average customer saving was GBP262, while 20% of customers saved
more than GBP577 and 10% more than GBP760 per year.

Charlie Ponsonby, CEO of Simplifydigital, said: "The digital TV,
broadband and home phone market is cut-throat and there has never been a
better time to take advantage of the savings on offer. Bundle deals now start
from as little as GBP18 per month for all three services (broadband, digital
TV and home phone) - plus there are some amazing introductory offers to be
had on top. There really is no excuse for customers to keep wasting big money
with overpriced legacy tariffs."

Earlier in the year, Sky was named winner of the 'Best digital TV,
broadband and home phone bundle' award in the Simplifydigital Customer Choice
Awards 2010.

The Simplifydigital Customer Choice Awards for digital TV, broadband and
home telephony services are based on the UK's only large scale qualitative
review of customer experience, compiled using the unique Feefo feedback
service, which pulls together people's opinions, likes and dislikes 60 days
into the service.
