Sky cuts broadband prices

As reported across the usual sites today. With prices coming down for the mid-speed package to £5 per month (not highlighting the fact that you still have to pay BT £11 for line rental!) it's hotting up. The new See, Seek, Surf package as it is now dubbed will be £26 per month - don't forget to add the BT line rental again.
