  • I ring to see if they can do me a deal for or I'll cancel

    Repeating myself again here, but ringing asking for a deal is not the way to get a good offer. Ring and cancel if you want the best offer, end of.

    If you find my posts useful, "pay it forward" and help someone else out, that's how places like MSE can be so successful.

    I am literally just off the phone with Sky. I rang regarding their 1/2 price line rental which I have just taken for a year. I also wanted to cancel Sky Sports as my 6 months 1/2 price offer was due to expire and I have got a further 6 months at half price!

    That is a result for me.:j

    It is if thats what you want to pay for whats been offered.
  • Had previously been enjoying a decent 9 month discount from sky that ended last month.

    I got

    Telephone line rental
    Unlimited broadband
    Sky HD
    all the channels, Kids, music, documetries, sky atlantic etc
    Sky Movies
    Sky Sports

    all for about £65/month.


    Called up yesterday as it was expiring saying that the £88ish/ month it was now going to be was too high and i'd be cancelling if they couldn't lower it.

    I was offered......10% off, that's it.

    So 31 days notice period has now been put in, we will see what happens.

    I put my 31 days notice in to Sky a could of weeks ago (cut off date is the 29th) and so far I've not had any offers from them.

    Got a call tonight looking for feedback as to why I was binning it off, maybe it's a precursor, maybe it's not.
  • I've been off for over 2 months now and have not heard a peep from sky in any shape or form. Not bothered though.
