Got through after being cut off several times. Actually thought they were going to terminate my contract, said i would get a letter detailing the end of my contract, then finally "as a goodwill gesture" they would give give me three months half price (saving of £54 over three months). Result!!!
Thanks everyone.Humans only use around forty percent of their brains capacity. Imagine what we could achieve if we used the other seventy percent!0 -
After my 3 month half-price I phoned up again to cancel. They pointed out the lesser packages available but offered nothing more. I told them just to cancel it.
The day before turn-off I relented and told them to keep the Sky+ features for a tenner (£10 a month to use a system I bought) then a couple of days later I found out a couple of my favourite programmes were starting again on Sky 1 so I had to get back onto Sky.
This choice of mix seems a better idea - I got Knowledge and Variety which had 99% of the channels I watched anyway! The news one seems a big con as most of the news channels are free anyway.
Hi, my name is Roy and I'm a Skyaholic :beer:0 -
Had to "give notice" as my 3 months half-price had one month left to go; managed to get 20% off for a year but they insisted on starting from now, so had to lose my last month at half-price!0

Bummer, I've a good mind to cancel now, that'll learn 'em.
Are they reading this ste then, to see how we're all trying to get a little of our hard earned cash back.
Let's face it, it's hardly good value for money is it. Just a load of repeats, even on the film channels. Any new(ish releases you still have to pay per view. It's expensive, inhibiting and limiting. If I weren't married to a man, I'd get rid of it without a qualm. I reckon top up tv is better value for money.I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.
Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.0 -
I phoned up yesterday and told them I would like Sky + for £49. They said ok but it was a 12 month contract. I had 6 weeks left on half price so I phone up disconnections and told them I wanted 20% off for 12 months, they said ok.
I then phoned back Sky + who said I had to had Multi room for £10 per month, as I'm getting 20% off I said ok. They then offered me two Sky + boxes one for upstairs and one for down for £49 each (£98 total). I think this is a great deal, my mate will link my Sky + upstairs to the whole house so I will be sorted.
Happy days :Tnothing.0 -
