    My half price deal expires next month so I'm going to ring to see what's offered. I'm not sure if they can do much if the half price deal is still active but I'm not paying almost £50 a month to see if I get offered it half price again.

    Only way I'm staying if it's offered at half price again otherwise I'll be looking for a humax box.
  • our contract is up in a month and just phoned up , all they offered was 25% off for 6 months ,been with them over 12 years on full package ,hoping they call within the month with a better deal , but not holding my breath
    Waddle you do eh?

    We had the half price deal last year, we called them to give a months notice as we didn't want to pay over £50 for a month, can't remember what they offered at the time of the call.

    But don't panic resist and they'll call you and offer the 50% off, they called us 3 times one weekend within a month of turning off. Plus a few flyers offering the 50% deal.

    Now almost a year later they are still calling.

    If you have SKY Sports, you can take advantage of 3 month's free ESPN, which they are currently offering. If you don't want to continue after 3 months, make sure you cancel 2 months after you ring them for the offer as you have to give 1 month's notice. Posted in case members have not seen the offer.

    Got offered 2.50 I think it was off my bill after the half price deal finishes so obviously cancelled.

    Not to fussed, I'll keep it if they offer half price again otherwise I have a old pace box that allows recording to keep me going till I find a cheap humax box.

Out of interest i called yesterday they offered me half price for 12 months and £40 credit to my account but the good part was i can cancel any time not tied to a 12 month contract i got him to confirm this three times and have aslo recorded the conversation for my records so agreed to the deal well happy .

  • I haven't actually left yet so probably won't get that offer, there is part of me that wants to leave wait a few months and get the offer, and part of me that doesn't (I love the us shows - walking dead, falling skies, new girl & two and a half men etc.) ??.?? What to do?
