Can I ask how long it was after you cancelled that you received the 60% off + £100 offer?

About 3-4 months. Hope this helps

Just wangled 50% credit for 12 months plus a £50 credit

near enough equivalent to 60% off :money:

Tried for 60% off plus £50 credit but they would only entertain 60% off for 10 months

Sky service was disconnected this morning :T:D

My current 50% tv offer ran out few days ago and I called to give my notice to cancel, all I was offered was 50% off for ten months which I rejected. I also have free line rental on my account which by looking at my account appears to be staying even after my TV is turned off. Is it possible to have tv on my brother's name at the same address where I have phone and Internet with sky on my name? Looks like I will have to wait and see what they offer during the next 4 weeks before tv goes off. My current offer was free line rental, free broadband and 50% off tv. I asked for same again and was offered 50% tv and 7.50 broadband which I rejected.

I pay £56.90 for Sky tv, phone and broadband. Called today to cancel and was offered same package for £42.50 per month for 10 months but on a 12 month contract.

My box is currently 18 months old so I said no as I'm worried about the engineer cost if any problems.

Will see if they offer anything better. If not I'll be moving to Virgin with their current £100 amazon voucher and £110 quidco cashback.

Just freeview channels, depends if you want the Sky Channels or not.

He reckons you'll get Sky's family package too? I don't see how that's even possible. Unless they're including a nowtv subscription. I thought the point of EE having support for Now TV was they weren't going to offer TV subscriptions?

looks like there is a now tv app on their service, but you pay nowtv and not EE. so in effect its a recordable freeview service, bet the service is amazing on the old copper cables, up to 3 devices working with speeds of 2 to 4 mbs just imagine the buffering
