Sky, Virgin & BT TV Haggle down prices and get serious discounts Article Discussion

rethka786

I tried to use the sky link given on the same page as the unique code...it was showing an invalid link. Went directly to Sky...new customers...pick a bundle. I chose Sky sports+ entertainment extra+movies all for £27.50 a month for 12 months.
THANK YOU MSE!
FREE installation + free sky+ box next Tuesday! Happy days!

Hi, thanks for reply above. I've been back on the Virgin site and checked the tv package, not too impressed as it loses most of the childrens. What I'm confused about now is why I should have a phone and pay line rental. I use a mobile and rarely use the house phone. The packages all have phone included, why?

Because they are a "package" of TV, phone and internet. You can purchase them all separately (as you do now, albeit from different suppliers) but it will prove more expensive.

First post, as I thought you should know how far they are going to retain....

Recently left sky and went to Virgin - mainly as the broadband speed was only 4mb.

Anyway, was offered 50% discount to stay (which I already had but deal was due up). After Virgin was installed - got a letter from SKY offering 50% off if I come back.

Then, at the weekend (around 6 weeks after leaving sky), I got another letter from SKY offering 75% (yes, seventy five percent) off the full package (excluding hd). Basically, full TV package, sports and movies for just £13.88 per month!!!
Or, just the TV package for just £5.38 per month!

But it does not stop there... in addition to the 75% discount, they are also offering a £50 credit to my bill . Meaning that the TV package would cost £1.22 per month ... or ...

£9.72 per month (on average) for TV,sports & movies :eek:

The only condition was that they would not come to my home to perform an install and I would use the Sky+HD box that I unplugged a few weeks ago.


Overall, a very tempting offer... was very tempted but, in 18 months, I intend to review the deals as my Virgin offer will be up then.

seriously peed off now, 2nd lot of codes on here from 8pm, been trying since then every 10 seconds or so & all i get for the first 12 minutes or so is the same message from before 8pm "come back at 8pm for the 2nd set of codes" thought time was wrong for them again, pressed once more & message came up "sorry 2nd batch of codes now gone" GONE WHERE EXACTLY??? they were never available :mad:

Same here.
Logged onto the page before 8pm and constantly refreshed but had the same message come back until "codes now gone".

Did anybody actually get one?

I doubt Sky will offer you anything like that deal in eighteen months, by then you'll be treated as a new customer and no retention deal will be available. Regardless, if you've had Virgin installed you're now on a minimum term contract with them.

Phoned Sky today wanted multi room if I could get a sky+ hd box,
And didn't wanna pay £199 for it.
Very nice lady put me on hold, then offered me free sky+ hd box, free install and multi room £2.50 for 12 months, am thinking buying another tv for kitchen if they give me same again:j:j

Even if you haven't managed to get a code for the half price upgrade to HD call Sky anyway and you might still get it.

I called sky on Monday to cancel as wanted a new updated Sky+ box to get On Demand but website was quoting me over £200 to change my box for new version.

I was offered HD box for free and free box for multi room. Even although this was adding a further £20.50 on my monthly bill I accepted this. Yesterday I decided I didn't actually want multi room and also saw the code for half price HD upgrades. Called Sky today to cancel multi room and tell them I have code for half price HD for year. I am now going to get HD for £5 a month but the guy today told me I should have been offered this when I originally called.
(I have also cancelled multi room so will only be paying £5 more than I am now)
