    Read on here about cancelling Sky - were you trying to get a good/better deal

    Money is tight - did you actually want to cancel.

    If the first, why didnt you take the half price they offered.

    If the second - they did exactly what you asked them to do.

    Your post is very confusing, no one knows exactly what you wante.d

    Not sure I understand but you rang to cancel and managed to cancel.

    So well done - result.

    You went wrong because someone told you if you speak to cancellations they will offer you a deal

    - you did ring sky
    - they did offer 50% off deal
    - then you tried for more .. .. this was where you went wrong
    - so they accepted your cancellation

    My advice ring again, tell them you became flustered / confused / embarrassed and ask for the 50% offer to be made again. Then accept gracefully, tell the poor sod on minimum wage what a nice pleasant individual they are and thank them for their help.
