I've been with sky for about 7 months now, paying £66 a month over that time (Sky+ HD, with sports, movies, ESPN)

What are the chances of me getting a half price deal or something if I call up saying this is too expensive? Obviously seven months isn't that long, but haviung paid them over £460 during this time I'm hoping that they will see I'm a good enough customer.

I think you need to sit out the first 12 months... after that I am pretty sure, you can get a deal.

Finally a great offer for me:

Free INST
Free Box
Free HD for 12 months...

If you see my post above I was paying over £70 a month for 12 months and they wouldn't give me anything until I cancelled my contract.

Taken from another thread, this seems to be working for some. AMD

i told them that we'd had a phone call a week ago and no one was in so sky had left a message saying theyd call back,i said someone had rang again today and spoke to my partner offering the hd deal but as i was the account holder i was the only one who could authorize the deal.I told them they said to ring back asap as the deal was due to end on 31st march,i also said the man that my partner spoke to said he would leave a note on my account (untrue of course).I was asked to hold while they went into my account and when he came back he said yes i could have the deal!!!!! theyre coming to fit it on wednesday!!!!

I've only had my Sky for 3 months and I got the call offering free Hd Box, Free Instal and free 6 months HD Subs, I stupidly said I'll have to speak to husband, as it seemed to good, they were to call me back the next night (fri)and unfortunatley I had to go out but on checking my phone they had called me, so I'll wait and see if they call me back today, if not I'll give them a call, as they are bound to have a record of phoning me.

Did you phone them to get it, or did they phone you.

I've still not had a call, I suppose being a customer for 10+ years doesn't qualify me

Hello,
Thought to had my deal here.

I rang up sky about two weeks ago asking about their internet deal which at the time offered free standard installation, £49 for the sky+ hd box and the £50 m&s voucher.

Didn't want to sign for HD or any Sports/Movie pack, just a few basic TV packs and to have just the Base broadband too, oh and i didn't want to pay for the sky box either!
Asked if i can trade the m&s voucher for a free sky +hd box, after a bit of haggling, I got the deal! (had to pay a £18 upfront, then £2 later in the month).

A case of, if you dont ask...

Hi there,
Just tried to phone and cancel Sky on 08442421421, a recorded Indian voice tells me all lines are busy, some music kicks in and after 10 seconds the lines just goes dead. Awful customer service.

Does anyone have a number that gets me through to the relevant department where I can talk to someone from the UK?

Many Thanks,
Nick.

I pay £48.50 a month for Virginmedia L TV (inc Sky Sports), M Broadband. No V+ box or anything. Are there better deals that this out there?

Thanks
