    Have just come off the phone to sky (freefone) .
    Told them I want to cancel, was immediately offered half price for 3 months £20.50.
    I then asked about sky+ for £49, the girl I was talking to went away and asked her manager,came back and told me that they couldnt do that.

    Speaking to the engineer who fitted my sky+ yesturday he said if you ring and the person in the cancellations dept wont offer you the deal you want simply put the phone down and ring back straight away. He said 90% will offer you the right deal to stay, it's just the odd one or two who'll go through with the cancellation without trying to persuade you with a deal.

    As for sky+ it'self.......ooooohh I mean that pausing live tv malarky... WOW!

    Can't say the mrs way too chuffed with me pausing corro every 20seconds last night though :D Well I was just showing her how it worked !

    Pete.
    I'll get me coat!

    Just phoned to "cancel" my Sky+ subscription - now upgraded to all movies and all sport (had half of sport and half of movies before) for £20.50 for 3 months. :D Used the freephone number which saves cash and a lot of waiting time too!

    I love this site! :)

    Our first 12 months of Sky is up on 13th June so I want to make the most of any commitment to them in the future. At the moment we have the Sports Channels but NOT movies (started out with the full caboodle but didn't ever watch films).

    Eldest son would quite like multi-room (which he would pay for himself) and I would like sky+ (not that much of a sports fan!). I would hope that the weather in the summer would be so good that we don't get to spend time watching TV.

    What do you think we could get out of them? I want to be fully prepared before I call. I am trying to pluck up the courage to lay in wait for the guy down the road who has a sky van (so I assume works for them!) to see if he has any insider info!
    Do not allow the risk of failure to stop you trying!

    I've not paid full price for 9 months! Everytime the deal I'm on is about to finish, I phone and say I'd like to cancel, and they offer me a new deal! If they don't next time, I WILL cancel!!!!
    I Believe in saving money!!!:T

    so now were tied to sky + in a 12mth contract. we can't ring and say we want to cancel so they give us 1/2 price packages. am I right in thinking this?
    HOW MUCH ?
