new to sky - what is the best deal?

paulryan99

Hi
might move to sky and was offered basic package + sky sports and espn in HD for £46 for first 3 months and £55 following 9 months.
Set up, installation and box for free. and £25 M & S vouchers.

Is this the best price I could get this for (I've been with BT vision and am coming to the end next month - trying to move away from BT altogether)
Also are there any other hidden costs or fees? Fom speaking to their sales advisor he said that this was the only price I would pay.
I've never used cash back sites before so not sure if this can be used with this deal.
Any advice greatly appreciated

sky quoted me £54 pm for:

Unlimited broadband
Phone
Skytalk
S/Sports package
and choice of 4 other packages ( i took the childrens, variety, music and knowledge)

Though this was a good deal myself, it included free box and free installation - which, at first they tried to charge for.

Another OP states he has on virgin XL tv, M phone, L broadband, all sports and movies package for £48.74 PM.

I am currently with Virgin but have been unable.......so far to get a deal like this.

There is a 30 days notice period anyway so you'd be as well going through with the cancellation as they'll call you to make some offers during that time. If at the end you don't get what you want you can say you've changed your mind

Just to let everyone know,

Sky offered me S/Sports package, music, childrens and variety package
Unlimited b/band
+ Phone with the freetime package
Free box, wireless router, installation, dish etc and free installation of a new line.
£25 M & S vouchers

For £50 per month inc line rental.

I am a virgin customer and currently get everything from them but they were not able to match sky, the cheapest they could do was £60 per month and would not budge, tried on 3 occasions and they still would not budge each time as they cant compete.

They didnt seem to bothered that i was leaving to be honest, that was all 3 different operators i spoke to so i have carried on and asked for my package to be cancelled and am moving to sky. Shame because i wanted to stay with Virgin.
