    Just called sky to cancel....

    after 50 mins on the phone got offered 1 mix for £7.00for 3 months or sky + HD box for £99 and £30 installation

    asked if they could knock the £9.50 off any other package they wouldn't budge so have proceeded with the cancellation.

    Have to say I was less than impressed with the guy I spoke with he talked over me and was very rude - part of the reason I proceeded with the cancellation.

    maybe useful for the 1 mix if anyone is after a deal though and they don't mind talking to the muppet I got.....

    does anyone have email for anyone high(ish) up in sky?

    None of the ''say no 0870'' numbers are working now!!

    I had to dial up using a 0844..........still a bit cheaper though!

    I cancelled the movies...........didnt get offered anything, but cant complain, because i didnt want the movies anymore, even if they were free!
