    Thanks for the info, what price did you say ntl quoted you as your "threat" is the exact same angle i was looking at going in with?

    im currently on a basic package with sky for £21 a month, but i want to call up and see if i can get them to throw in sky sports for the same price by threatening to leave (or even cheaper).

    would appreciate any info people could give me.

    I just called Sky and said that I was reviewing my monthly outgoings and couldn't afford £42.50 per month.

    They put me through to a programming advisor who started asking me about what I watched, etc and best he could offer was to take away the movies making it £36 per month or both the movies and sports to £21.

    Looks like I will have to threaten to cancel.

    OK, I've just finished 3 months at half price and am tied into 12 mth contract the remaining 9 mths being £15. Would it be possible to get some more half price months if I threaten to leave? or is this taking the mickey?

    Just plucked up the courage to phone Sky to cancel as better deal frm NTl and spoke to a horrible man who just bombareded me with questions about what ntl were offering and how much better SKY are and what about broadband. He was not listening to me and I told him that I found him obnoxious and patroinising and that I consider it very poor customer service.
    I do not know what to do now
