I would like to cancel but the biggest trouble i am actually having is connecting to the online chat to cancel. It is an absolute joke i have been waiting for 30 mins and it still says agents are busy! I only want to use the chat route to cancel incase i get an offer. I am afraid if i cancel my phone or email they will just say bye. Has everybody else "cancelled" by using online chat?

The trick is to hover over my sky and click on the " left sky in the last 12 months link" connect to chat on that and ask for cancellations they put you straight through

Subscription ended last month. Today I was offered 50% off which I declined. Then I was offered 60% off which I declined. Finally I was offered 60% off + £50 bill credit which I gladly accepted.

Hi

I've cancelled Sky because it was far too expensive and one week on they've offered me 60% off my TV package in an email and half price broadband, does anynone know from experience if I hang on they'll come back with something better? They say this offer is only valid until 18th June so don't want to miss out?

How much better do you want? This appears to be the ceiling of their offers.

Didn't think it would be possible to better my offer of last year but managed it, just. Last year I paid £26 for everything excuding movies and multi room(phone and bb + HD included). This time I've managed to add Movies and Sports in HD, Family Pack, Phone line and BB, Multi room with a sky + HD box for £30. Its still a lot but these offers make it easier to stomach.

My Sky had gone up to £66.75 a month. When I called to cancel they would only drop it to £48.

So I cancelled and 5 days after it was switched off I receive a letter from them offering me 60% off!

I had family bundle, Sports, HD pack. No phone or Broadband.

They are offering Family bundle for £14.40 a month for 12 months.
They are offering Sports for £10.20 a month for 12 months, and the opportunity to add movies for £6.80 extra a month.

Add HD and I would have my old package for just over £30 a month. If they had said this on the phone I would have stayed with them.

But I have said goodbye - it's a principle sort of thing

I went on live chat with Sky yesterday and have accepted their offer of 60% off plus a cash credit of £20.
I'll be paying £33.45 p.m. for Family Pack, Sports and Movies and HD.
This is for 12 months and a twelve month contract.
Shame I didn't find these forums years ago....:o

I gave my one month notice last month so now disconnected. Got a letter by post offering 60% off Sky TV and £50 credit.

Went to the left sky in the last 12 months section on their website (after reading it on the forum) and saw 60% off plus £100 credit.

That's effectively:
£22/month for Family+Movies+Sports+HD for 12 months.

I think that's the best we can get this summer lol but if anyone else has something better please let me know before I take the plunge.

Hi all.. i can offer anyone who isnt already a virgin customer 10 to 40% off the bill. Depending on when you sign up you also get £100 money back or a free samsung galaxy 4 tablet. If your interested please use the link below to get your special deal.

I was gonna go with Virgin when I was looking for a cheaper deal than Sky, was offered £84 a year for sport, films etc, broadband and phone, all sounded good, then when I ask questions this was only 12 months, yet you had to sign up for 18 months.
After 12 months the price would go to £116 for 6 months..


Glad I waited and got Sky knocked down to £34 quid a month..
