Wow thats pretty good does that include BB and phone?

I’m paying full price now £86 but have 10 days left till cut off, been with Sky 15 years , had no real offers at all. I keep checking My Sky page. Actually thinking I might not renew now even with an offer and seriously look at using Netflix with the EE deal.

It doesn't include broadband and phone no, but sky can only offer me 0.5mb down on broadband so that's a no go and I get a free mobile through work so I don't need a landline.

I previously had Sports, Movies multi room and HD for around £41 a month, if they can give me that again I'll be happy, if they can't then I'll leave

Best broadband deals at the moment? Currently have fibre optic with virgin. Started off at 17.50 for the first 3 months, then it went to 22.50, then they put it up again to 25.00, and because I don't pay by DD, they charge a further £5. I don't stream movies or download anything, just browse the internet, so I don't want to oversubscribe with features etc. any suggestions?

I called Sky earlier to cancel my BB & phone ( I don't have TV), as I was paying £25 and Plusnet are offering £17.99 a month. The Sky lady matched the Plusnet offer. I still asked for my MAC code because I want to see what retentions are going to offer (if anything!).

I'm thinking of getting TV now, so what's the best I can expect from retentions if they phone me? On BB & phone + basic TV? I'd be happy with paying around £30 all in...Is that reasonable?

I'm sure they could probably do a deal on TV. Our TV sales call came a few days after I negioated and renewed our broadband and line rental.

Had the TV installed yesterday and I'm impressed. It has been a few years since I last properly used Sky and the new on demand stuff is quite impressive. Granted you need to download a small section of the programme but the PQ is great.

I'd never pay full price, possibly at a squeeze I'd have it at 50% off, but at 75% off it is great.

If the Sky account is in his name then he is responsible for paying it. Don't simply cancel the direct debit, though, as this will trash your credit rating and will show as a bad debt.

You really need to be contacting Sky about this and explaining the situation fully to them.
