Sky Offer

[The Golden Eel]

Funny how people are so sceptical about this. I have the 25% off deal and it expires at end of May. I'm definitely hitting them for 50% off this time and waiting it out. But I've told a few mates about this, all you have to do is ring them up I say, and they think I'm talking bollocks like. Their loss, of course, but can't understand why people don't ring and pay less

Same. What have you got to lose, is my view but you will be well aware of the difficulties I've had to persuade Mr C even to pick up the phone. Having cancelled it his words to me were, 'on your head be it'.

 

I just hope they call back quick as I didnt think they'd wear replacing a broken box at the same time as accepting our cancellation!

I got my wife to phone up and cancel citing reasons of cost and we'd been offered a great deal from BT vision.

 

They haven't called yet but have written to us saying call us and we'll do anything we can to retain us. Do you think we should call? Or wait?

Wait or they probably wont offer you anything. Good things come to those who wait. (But not the type who work in the service industry.)

Went out this afternoon. Came back and at an appropriate moment asked how he'd got on. Apparently, he was offered nowt.....so he cancelled. The waiting begins..

 

Classic post.

[Champ]

Only, if you've followed the weary tale, he hadnt!

However, I didnt give up and a week ago he finally did cancel (I've seen the paperwork)

A week in and he's getting twitchy already............it'd better be worth it

[coop]

He is going to bottle it and ring them back up saying he has changed his mind.

I dont get it; he's normally the risk taker. It can only be because it wasnt his idea.

[Cirrostratus]

Never knew about this, i'll give it a try tomorrow. Been with them for years (fuck knows why) so I'd better get something. Has anybody been unlucky and not gotten a follow up?

I rang to cancel, (I genuinely wanted to mind) when the gimp asked why, I told him the amount i watched it wasn't worth the £100ish a month. They never rang me back but 2 days before the contract was due to end I checked my last bill online & noticed they'd made a booboo.

I rang them to get it sorted (they owed me money) & was offered 1/2 price for 6 months.

[Vivaldo]

My wife called back after the letter. The best they would offer was 2 months free movies or 3 months sports free, and she turned them down, so let's see what happens. We're due to stop the service on the 14th of April.

[Lee909]

I get letters every week from them asking me to come back,50% off for a year.If the same offer is there in December when my Virgin contract is up and the sky deal is only 12-18months I may well take them up on the offer.I was planning getting cut off completely barring my Internet but £25 for Internet or £50 for everything if would be silly not to.

Our internet's gone down....days before the end of the notice period

I'll not be so happy when I've used up my data allowance. This is not going to end well, folks

The router's fucked.....like they're going to be in a hurry to get a new one out to us given our notice period is up on the 12th

Well I am leaving Sky on the 17th April. I leave their Tv service. I will keep phone and broadband until I find a better deal.

 

I tried the whole maintain the good deal thing and they just annoyed me so much that I do not want to deal with them again

I've just gone with talk talk for phone and Internet, pretty good deal. Check their site out la.

[Stouffer]

Just managed to talk them into giving me fibre unlimited with free installation. Threatening to cancel always does the trick.

 

And I'm already on a half price tv deal.

Deadline's Friday. He's going to cave

[Baresi]

The in-laws received a letter a fornight ago, stating their bill was going up to £93 a month. I rang up and said they wanted to cancel, and was informed the best offed he could give me was £7.50 off a month. After rejecting this palrty 'offer', I was informed that to terminate the contract, there would be a £80 cancellation fee. I Argued that after 12 years of being with sky, it was a tad insulting to have to pay this, yet he remained unmoved. Therefore, I re-itirated their desire to cancel.

 

Yesterday, we received a call from the retentions team. The bloke immediately offered me 12 months half price on the exact deal they currently have. I said we'd have to think about it, as we were still annoyed that after 12 years we had to pay a £80 cancellation fee. He said he would speak to his manager, and came back within 30 seconds and offered TV & Broadband free for the following 6 months and that they would only be required to pay for the phone-line (£15 a month). This was also a non-contract offer and could be cancelled anytime. He said to ring back in 5 months and see what deals are going and if none suit, just to cancel.

And maybe there is a God, my lovelies. A letter has arrived from Sky addressed to him but the envelope says Stay with us a get 6 months half price. Yeehaa. Last night he was saying he was going to call them to withdraw the cancellation because our current deal is such great value anyway
