    Yeah,

    Just rang up to cancel Sky Sports there and to remove a load of packs from the deal we had.

    Long pause whilst we were put on hold, then offered nothing. Bill now down to £18 from £41 though.

    I have to ask sorry, but not being a football watcher what the hell is ESPN?
    Approach her; adore her. Behold her; worship her. Caress her; indulge her. Kiss her; pleasure her. Kneel to her; lavish her. Assert to her; let her guide you. Obey her as you know how; Surrender is so wonderful! For Caroline my Goddess.

    I rang up on 08442 414141 and selected the cancel chanels option.
    I said I wanted to cancel ESPN until the start of the new season. The chap on the phone said he would need to speak to his supervisor as he had not done this before and then came back with the offer.

    It was one of those that has to be taken at the time - may not get it if I ring up again

    As expected HD offer not given. Cancelled Sky Sports and given ESPN free for 3 months

    Anybody know if this is still the case? Will phone tonight if it is. Although my Sky+ box has stopped giving me the Sky+ functionality so I was going to threaten to leave anyway.

    How is Virgin?

    Excellent. Go for it:beer:
  • Phoned up Sky today to cancel my sports channel as I'm only really interested in the footy. Asked me whether I'd instead prefer to have the channel for free until the footy season started up again. It's only a saving of £10/month for 3 months but not bad for the price of phonecall. And this way Sky are guaranteed that they'll have my business again from August onwards. Win-win.
  • phoned sky to cancel sports. They didn't offer me anything! But suppose I am saving anyway...
