here's a geo number for sky

this will provide access to all departments

press 3 and then (options 1 & 2 are for broadband and hd)

3,2 customer services
3,1 downgrade
5,3 cancellations
1,1 or 2 technical
2,1 or 2 installations

there's more options, but those should cover most peoples needs...

    No its a non contractual (spelling ?) offer so can cancel at any time ...You must use the word cancel though before they will pffer you anything worth your while...

    I couldn't afford Sky Sports anymore, so phoned up to cancel. Offered me Sky Sports for £4 p/m for 3 months, on top of the basic package

    When you said cancel - did you communicate to Sky that you were going to cancel your whole subscription or just your Sky Sports subscription?

    I'm currently on a £21 package after previously having a discounted sports package for 3 months (after telling them I wanted to cancel) and once that ran it's cause they range me and offered me another deal for 3 months.

    I'm considering canceling as I have internal freeview on my TV but if I could get another deal would consider staying with them, is it worth ringing again to tell them I want to cancel ?
  • i would, no harm in trying it if you are planning on cancelling anyway, you have nothing to lose!
