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

S-I-L cancelled Sky TV package ~ 2 weeks ago; he got a phone call yesterday ostensibly to discuss his final bill! but he ended up being offered 60% off of his package -never one to miss an opportunity he asked about a bill credit -and got £50.:T
Reduced his overall Sky bill inc line and fibre by over £50 pm:)

Seems like the "rumours" of Sky being prepared to accept high churn rates, are a load of old toffee!!

Offers definitely improving - I had been without SkyTV for a few weeks after cancelling in late April but had a call frm Sky today and have just accepted:
- 60% off TV
- 60% off HD
- £100 credit
That's for Family plus Sports with HD (£28.60 total p/m for 12 months cancel any time i.e. no new contract, so in theory could cancel again once the free credit runs out...)

Seems like there is no offers from Virgin. All I can see is lucky sky customers reaping benefits.

Thats a storming deal - find it just amazing that they gave you £100 credit WITHOUT 12 month tie in:j

Which is why their should be 2 separate threads, as what Sky customers get has no bearing on what Virgin offer. Still:mad: nothing will happen as people have tried before.

Cancelled my Virgin 50 Mb/s BB only on Friday. I'd been paying £23.50 on my previous retention deal, but wasn't offered anyhing this time bar a throttled 20Mb/s service with 30Gb download limit for £17. Said no to that so my 30 days notice got put through.

Monday afternoon, the very next working day, got the "call" from Retentions. He initially offered me £20, before we finally agreed on £19. New 12 month contract.

Also renewed my 60% + £100 from Sky a few weeks back.

I prefer to keep my broadband and TV providers separate as it helps with haggling not being too tied down

Cancelled 30 days ago - TV went off today. Went on to live chat and got

- 60% of main TV sub
- 50% of multiform
- £50 bill credit
- New 12 month contract

Sky Family pack with HD, Sky Sports and Sky Movies - standard price £92 a month, will go down to £38 a month, with £50 credit, this effectively becomes £34 a month for 12 months. Pretty pleased with that!

I got another good deal with Sky for the 2nd year running. Cancelled my tv package (original) and 3 weeks later they offered me £15.40 p/m for line rental, broadband and original tv package for 12 months!
