All I was offered was half price for 12 months. HD and multi room extra, lots extra. It's gone on the 11th, so I'll look into Virgin or do without.

Mines the 9th but they can tell you now what you will be offered, theres a screen linked to your account with what offers you can have, or at least thats what she said

i just rang and said was not value for money for the basic channels, not offered anything, being turned off in 31 days time, been with them over ten years.

That's the correct tactic to get half price for 12 months offered

I've just called Sky to cancel, we'd looked at the freeview channels & decided we'd give them a go.

The Sky guy asked why we wanted to leave & I explained I didn't think we were getting value for money, he immediately offered six months half price & advised me to ask again what offers they have a that time as Sky don't want to lose 'long time' customers.

Result

We've gone one better than that, I'm afraid.
About 3 months ago we decided we could do without Sky at £23 per month and stick with the free channels.
Phoned to cancel and were offered half price for 6 months.
I declined.
After a month the Sky channels (and Sky+ features) were switched off as agreed.
They phoned the next day and repeated the half price for 6 months offer.
I declined again. I wasn't doing this to get a good deal. We wanted to cancel as we didn't want to pay for it any more.
They then offered £50 credit on our account and the half price for 6 months offer. With no tie-in.

So we've had it for free for the last 3 months. Will be phoning up to cancel in a couple of weeks - to co-incide with when the £50 credit will run out.
