Sky Loophole!! TV, broadband and phone for £6/mth

I want to sign up for this.
I'm currently paying AOL £18 per month and have been thinking about signing up for Sky's Surf, Speak, TV package for a while - this just about swings it.
And i could justify paying for Sky+ if i'm getting £150 back!!
BUT!! I live in a block of flats, about 8 flats, 3 storeys. And i have no idea if there is a 'communal' dish or if each flat can have they're own installed.
I've emailed the maintenance company for info, but they're worse than useless and will tell me to contact the owner - I am the owner!!
Does anyone have any experience of this situation?
Is it worth calling Sky and asking, or should I know this myself?
I want to sign up for this but don't want to hit this hurdle!0 -
It's taken me 8 months to get a refund on a Sky HD box.
You ring em up and they promise but never deliver. We had to send many letters and phone many times.
I wouldn't bother with the hassle.0 -
I only want to get Sky TV and not broadband or telephone.
Will I still get the £150 through the cashback sites?0 -
For £21/month (£16+£5 Broadband 40G cap) and £30 set up fee, I know I'll get Standard Sky box free. But, Will I get wireless router free as well ??
Cheers folks...
yes you get a router as well for the broadband - i think that they have changed the router - it used to be a netgear but is a different model now
i used to have sky and then got fed up with the repeats and nothing really interesting to watch. so i didnt pay my bill and they reduced my service to free sat channels only - fine with that
they didnt dissconect my broadband so i have had bb free for the past 2 years and download about 40gb of torrent stuff each month - earlier than when sky shows it on the telly and best thing is you dont have interruptions every 10 mins of adverts like you do on sky 10 -

I cancelled and signed up as a new customer.My contract had ended and initialy everything went through fine till they realised I,d been an existing customer.I did this because I wanted the special offer.I used a different phone number and name but they sussed me out and I then had to open my old account back up.
I nagged till they gave me half price sky for 3 months but if an operator agreed to something on the phone it doesnt mean sky will actualy honour it.
It took me months of haggling and a fortune in calls.So watch out.Its not worth a try in my opinion unless you want problems as they can usually suss it out.0 -
*very confused*
Why do I still need to pay £ 129 up front ?
Am I doing something wrong???
thanks......0 -

I would like to know this too, I did ask yesterday but it seems to have got lost in the debate about whether Sky is a good company or not! :rolleyes:0 -

There is an option (tick box)not to take on the broadband and one not to take the telephone.
you will still pay the same price and I am no expert but I think you would get the cashback,but you would need to have this confirmed by your cashback site as a definite.
What I need to know as a sky novice is,the equipment and instalation fee £129 is this for a dish as well as the sky+Box ?:o
I know that might seem obvious but it doesn't seem to state exactly what you get and I have never had sky.0
