    Thanks as well. Just called them and said I was "poor" and NTL would work out cheaper and they offered me either;

    12 months at 25% off (with commitment) or
    6 months with 25% off (no commitment) or
    3 months with 50% off (no commitment)

    Opted for the latter and they said they could look at the account again after 3 months ... so maybe I'll get it again ...?

    Thanks!

    I emailed sky saying it was getting expensive etc .im still in my 12 month contract for sky+.They emailed back saying they would give me it half price for 3 months or my main account.We have sky+ and 2 extra boxes so i assume they mean half price of the 42.50 we pay for sky+


    Is there a particular email address - our Sky account is in the OH's name and he won't ring up and haggle! He's tried to add my details to the account so I can ring and do it (being less embarrassed about trying to save a few pennies!) but they won't do it. Now stuck with £42.50 a month!

    If I can email that would be good!

    Hi I Am tied in with sky for a year currently got movies/ sports etc for £34.00, but I would like to get rid of it and go to the basic pack, as I dont think I would be able to reduce what I am paying down any further than £34.00 otherwise I would keep it just to have. Will they let me go to the basic pack if I am contracted in or does that mean I am contracted in and have to have movies , sports etc till it runs out
    many Thanks

    teacup, I've ben with Sky for 4 years now. You can chop & change as much as you like

    At Christmas I usually 'upgrade' and have all the movie channels for the kids, then January get rid of them again and go back to the basic package

    They always try & talk you out of it, but stay polite but firm and you can subscribe to what you want

    hth :)
