    Hi All,

    What success have people had with negotiating a deal for Sky Fibre Unlimited and Landline? My existing 12 month contract is coming to an end.



    I have just negotiated another year of 60% discount off my TV package (sports & box sets).

    Sky are now charging a £10 admin fee for the privilege of adding a discount deal!


    Thanks in advance.

    I got a offer for 75% off tv package plus £30 credit with no contract on the sky chat. Don't take first offer, if you fail first time keep trying, make sure you have cancelled sky to get best offers. I have the sky full package for £18.50.

    I was paying £9.99 per month for unlimited bband, anytime calls and line rental. Was also paying £25-00 per month for all Sky sports channels and Sky TV original pack (was 50% off tv).

    Today got 50% off TV original pack + all sky sports with a £20 credit and i am not in contract for TV so can cancel anytime.

    Also got £2 per month off for unlimited bband, £50 credit, unlimited calls and line rental.

    Total cost per month will be less than £50 per month.

    Not as good as what I was paying before I realised that I would not get a like bband and phone deal.

    I am still pleased.

    I've not got TV with Sky but was interested to see what kind of broadband and talk discount you were able to get (after going through with a cancellation).

    Could you break down your BB & Talk deal a bit more? What is the total price that you are getting £2 off and £50 credit?

    I've cancelled my BB & Talk but have not seen any offers within my online account - does this only appear for TV customers?

    My unlimited bband, unlimited phone and line rental works out at approx £25 per month. I tried Plusnet and Ttalk but as their costs were at least £25 per month, I did not bother moving and leaving sky,

    I get Talktalk Fibre for that price - surprised you could not get a better offer for ADSL.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Without cancelling, I was offered £18.99 line rental + free adsl bb + half price eve & weekend calls + £20 credit.

    Your bb offer looks to be in line with that, plus an extra £30 credit.

    Thanks in advance. t

    Got my bank bill and saw that sky had double charged me, just realised that 1 year sky sub was up. God time goes quick

    Was on Sky box sets 50% = £19
    Sky multiroom 50% = £6

    rang to cancel max he said was 40% of box sets for 18 months or 50% of for 12 months plus the admin. What a joke.

    Now their charging you for deals

    Done the cancellation for august, lets see how it goes. Currently only showing 50% of sky + tv subscription in my sky

    Been off now for 2 weeks. No calls or letters!

    Maybe the 75% is a thing of the past?

    Getting on well with the nowtv.
