Our new Sky Haggling guide - please share your feedback

Not an existing customer retention deal, but I have just managed to sign up to Sky for what I consider to be a good deal I thought I would share.


Was initially looking online and for what we wanted we were looking at;


Standard Sky+ HD box
No Multi Room
Sky Box Sets
Movies
Sports
Unlimited Sky Fibre
Pay as you talk phone


Total Cost = £111 per month + £74 set up fee = £1,406 a year.


Got onto the web chat and assume this is just a standard 50% offer as didn't take too much asking to get;


Sky Q
Multi Room Included
HD Sports
Movies
Unlimited Sky Fibre
Pay as you talk phone


Normally £129 a month + £74 set up fee = £1,622 per year


With offer now £62.40 a month and £54 set up fee = £802.80 per year


Total annual saving = £819.20


On a 12 month contract which being a completely new customer I couldn't really do anything about it. I know I'll a fight on my hands to keep that down after the first year but I'll deal with that when the time comes and enjoy my first year savings for now.

Thanks for the replies all.
Just to update you that it's been 24 hours and my my-sky inbox only has confirmation messages about all the stuff I've cancelled with the relevant dates of termination etc. No offers yet.

I'll post an update at the same time tomorrow even if there has been no change to the situation.

Currently feeling nervous.

In my experience one has to wait a while before decent offers arrive. And I'm talking around the time (and most likely after) of your cut off date. If this doesn't happen, that is the time to start feeling nervous, not 24 hours after "cancelling". Have patience (!) and you will be rewarded

Download the Sky Service App for Android, you'll have an offer on there.

Yesterday with 4 days left until due to cancel I have now renewed by subscription.

50% off full TV HD package
50% off multiroom
50% off fibre
full price line rental

After a lot of persuading managed to get a £50 credit aswell
will be paying just under £74 a month, closer to £70 if you include the credit in that. discounts run for 12 months with no contract.

A little disapointed I missed out on the 60% as didnt notice it had an expiry date of 3rd october. Anybody got any experience of being able to negotiate better deals after say 6 months.

...surely its only the TV portion which has no min. contract period?? Haven't heard of anyone getting fibre without minimum tie in.:o
