    still has 1 month 66p offer to go, phoned up to give them 1 months notice to cancel. Offered 5 months half price to start immediately. I said I still have another month of 66p and asked if they can start this half price offer next month. Initially told no, I said I'll cancel and call back in a months time. CS then consulted a supervisor and agreed to starty new offer after the expiry of 66p next month.
    No more cancel threats until Jan 2007!

    Were you offered this right away ?, did you get offered 3 mths first ?, I wonder if you need to try and hang out longer ?

    I cannot wait untill October then 1/2 price Sky FOREVER :rotfl:

    Would have had Sky 2 years by then, but upgraded my multiroom to Sky+ last year for £50 and they added another 12month contract ontop.

Result !! might be worth trying to get my deal!!

    Guys, phoned through to Sky, got offered 1/2 price on the £36 package for 5 months....ok, had to wait for 20 mins using the number given on here.

    Also if I phoned back saying was hoping they had a special offer on you could be offered the Skyplus package costing £263 in total for £64 !!! ie the £199 box is free; plus if you needed a new dish that would be included!!!


    Respect to the board!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You say that but in actual fact I was tied in for 12 months from August last year and in January I rang up to say I wanted to cancel as I couldn't afford it any more - they put me through to cancellations, where they discovered that I was still under contract (Me: Oh, really, gosh!)

    But when I said that was a real shame as I really couldn't afford it at the moment, they offered to give me 3 months half price anyway!! Then when the 3 months were up I rang back and did the same thing to get another 3 months half price - and the guy even said to me, ring back in another 3 months and I'll give you the same again!

    Now my contract should actually be up so I'll be interested to see what I can get this time around!
