We especially like theMix Bundlepackage that comes with the Echo Dot because it offers the best value for price, speed and number of channels. We even featured this deal in our round up of thebest TV and broadband dealswhere we compare all major service providers

For £47 per month (for 12 months, then £58 per month), theMix Bundleoffers you a high speed connection of 108Mbps – which should be sufficient for households with multiple devices – and 150 channels including Sky One, Sky Living, Fox and MTV. Plus, it hasthe lowest price increase after 12 months, which saves you in the long term. There is a £25 set up cost though, as with all the packages.See this deal here.
