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 £760 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 £262, while 20% of customers saved more than £577 and 10% more than £760 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 £18 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.
