Digital TV Cost Cutting Article - Discuss What You've Been Offered

mollyj_2

well, I've called Sky twice - today and last week - firmly saying I want to cancel as the outgoings are too high and they have offered me nothing

any tips?

Did you speak to the right department?

I think its unusal for them not to offer at least a bit.

I am about to call on the 25th... they better offer something...

mollyj_2

yes I definitely went through to the cancellations department. I think I read somewhere its better to try on tues or wed - so will try again tmw and see if I get anything!

yes if you let them know its purely for financial reasons rather than the quality of the programming then they are more likely to offer you the half price deal

I am more successfull when I actually let them know, that I like Sky and would love to keep it, but cant afford.

They go through various choices, for you.

Had a lady on the phone and she offered me nothing! Nothing what so ever, apart from the Sky+HD Box for £30.

I am currently getting 25% discount on All Ent-Packages, Sports and ESPN (40 quid in total).

So from 25th of March I am going up to 50 Quid and the lady wasnt bothered at all....

Tried again... nothing available! They said that there are currently no deals available!

Called Sky yesterday and asked how much I'd save by cutting out the Movies and Sports, was told £25.50, but then offered a discount of £9.70 a month for 6 months.

I think I called to early anyway. Need to wait til the 25th of march...

Sky seem to be offering free HD boxes and free installation at the moment. I just ordered the upgrade yesterday. The only extra cost is the £10 per month HD subscription and a 12 month contact. Fill your boots!!!
