Sky Offer

[The Golden Eel]

They foned me up wanting to know why I cancelled sky sports. I told them I wasn't willing to pay to watch people watch football and tell me about and that sky sports and bt sports together was to expensive.

Verdict: NO DEAL

That's exactly right.  I told them the same.  The content goes down, the price goes up.  If you want the same content as before, it's much dearer.  No chance.

Just had a call back from Sky. Offered me 35% of my TV.

Ended up slightly enhancing the offer to get HD back on and access to the box sets on catch up and have ended up with an overall saving of £22pm.

Was staying with them regardless as wife and kids were gonna string me up if I went ahead with the cancellation so happy all round.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Offered me 35% of my TV.

But you already own 100% of it? Cheeky twats.

[GR10 LFC]

Haha!

got the entertainment and documentaries package for £5 a month. I dont watch it but it shuts the missus up for a while.

[Vivaldo]

Cancelled last week and they phoned us back after 3 days.

 

Offered us half price for 12 months.

 

I got sports, family, movies, multi room and he for everything bar movies and sports for £41. Could have been 38 had it not been for hd option. I only got he so I could download box sets.

 

This is the 2nd time we have got 1/2 price 2 years on a row.

[redheart]

I did not go back.

 

I used to get everything including sports and movies, telephone and broadband for £54 pcm.

 

Still not worth it. Crap service and I can get everything I want for free on the web

[The Golden Eel]

Cancelled mine on Monday, got a call last night, £32 a month for a year for the TV and BB.  I don't have sports or movies.  It's £50 normally.  Not bad.  I couldn't ever actually cancel the whole package, the earache I'd get would be never before seen on this planet.

[Rush 346]

I was on £31 per month for sports, movies and HS, just noticed it has gone up to £47!

 

My deal must have expired, has anyone been offered anything decent from them recently?

[RedKnight]

Yes, half price everything for six months and then half price fibre optic for another six after that.

[Barzini]

What kind of price are they offering fibre at in the uk? I'm currently in Dubai and checked our options yesterday. We pay about £60 per month for basic tv package (no movies, no sport), phone and broadband (16 down, 1 up). I also pay about £13 a month for the footy on top. If I upgrade to fibre (100 down, 10 up) it would go from £60 a month to £135 per month! Needless to say, they can stick it up their arse.

[Rush 346]

Yes, half price everything for six months and then half price fibre optic for another six after that.

 

So how much is that?

[Captain Turdseye]

So how much is that?

Half price mate.

[VladimirIlyich]

When I cancelled my Broadband and Tv with them they said I can have sports for about £15 a month but I'm yet to take up that offer with them,if still available.

 

I would just phone up and negotiate if you are thinking of joining or binning them off.

[ratcatcher]

After being fucked off with paying them twats full wack for years, I decided to phone and cancel. They put me through to retentions who tried talking me into reducing my services to save money. Told them fuck that as I could get virtually the same as I have through them a lot cheaper. They asked who from so I said BT, Amazon, Chromecast etc.

 

They came back with an offer to save about a fiver. Told them to forget it unless they give me a new HD box and a substantial cut in subscription. They said they'd give me a new HD+ 500 gig box for the same subscription. I asked if that include all the HD channels/ No they said. WTF use is an HD box if the HD channels arent activated?

 

Anyway, told them the offer wasnt good enough and to cancel my subs. Gave me a load of grief about re connection charges but hung up on them.

 

10 days later they phoned up and offered

 

new 500 gig wireless HD+ box

all HD channels activated

half price off  both multi room subscripts for 12 months

reduction in my overall subscription from £82 to £58 a month for 12 months.

 

Cheeky twats have just increase subscription by £4 a month though.

 

I'll try this again in 12 months!

[Sweeney287]

Just managed to save £27 off our monthly bill.

 

I had signed up to a provisional agreement with Virgin for £50 a month for the first 12, then £60 for the remaining 6 so called up Sky to cancel and they trimmed it down to £47 for everything, HD, Sports Phone, Broadband and line rental so very happy with that.

 

They did initially only take £10 off but after a little "hmmm, we're not really sure" off she trots to get the larger discount authorised.

[Tony Moanero]

Sky are dick-faced cunts.

[Megadrive Man]

Just found out these cunts have stopped Skygo being streamed additionally on my Xbox.

 

I will be ringing them in the next week or so to 'cancel' and see what they offer.

[Vincent Vega]

I called up Sky last night as my half price was ending on 31st August and told them I wanted to cancel as I could not afford the full price. It took an hour on the phone, 15 minutes to get through and then 45 minutes of the guy trying to get me to cancel sport or the movies, I told him they were the only things I watched, then being offered at first 20% off and then when I knocked that back 25% off. I said this was still more than I could afford and that I was going to go ahead and cancel (you get 30 days to change your mind and I thought the win back team might call me like last year and give me the 50% was after). He then said he would speak to his manager to see if he could get me a better offer and after about 10 minutes on hold he came back with 50% off for a year again but this time I would have to agree to a 12 month contract, I had no objections to that as long as I continued to get 50% off. Made up with that, there was no chance I was going to agree to pay £70 per month.

[Vincent Vega]

They're obviously desperate to keep their customers as a mate from work got a cracking deal when he called up yesterday. Unlike me he has landline and broadband with them and also gets HD, he also has multiscreen which I have, anyway, subject to him not cancelling any of those services just listed or the sports and movies he was given 40% off for the next four years and free broadband for two, he also had to agree to a new 12 month contract.

 

Anyone paying full price needs to get on to them and say they are cancelling whilst playing the poverty card.

[Elite]

I currently have 35% off and when that finishes I'll put in my cancellation and see whats offered.

[lifetime fan]

What's the best deal available to new customers at the moment?

[lifetime fan]

Pissed off Virgin wouldn't play games with me so ended up going with sky as they offered the best deal.

 

Sky world TV package

Sports

Movies

2HD recordable boxes

Phone line

Free evening and weekend calls

Unlimited broadband

£50 tescos vouchers

 

For £62.90 a month instead of £101.40 and managed to get her to knock off the one off £25 upfront charge.

 

Cunts are making me wait till 8 September for installation though.

[lifetime fan]

Fucking twat. I forgot to get her to chuck BT sport in too.

[Lee909]

Doubt they would have been able to do a subscription offer to BT as you need to contact BT and they set up a seperate direct debit. Its nothing to do with sky
