I'm a sky virgin

Been with Virgin for ages, but due to moving home I now have to go with sky.

I've looked in the various 'deal' threads, but they all seem to be current customers getting improved deals.

Has anyone had any luck getting a deal off sky as a new customer?

Not too impressed with paying £12 for ESPN

    I've been with virgin for many years, but have to move to sky as thhere are no fibre optics in my new street

    So far I've had no luck getting any discounts off packages, has anybody had any luck?

    I want

    Evening and weekend calls
    Knowledge and variety pack
    sky+ hd
    sky hd multiroom
    Unlimited bb


    Any ideads on what the best deal I can hope for is?

    I'd like the sports channels, but having to pay for espn when virgin gave it for free is annoying

    They're usually good deals with sky. Look out for leaflets with magazines, in the post. I got £50 credit off my bill with them.

    Yeah, I can get £200 back: £100 cashback and £100 m and s vouchers

    However, I've heard the m and s vouchers are unreliable and the cashback can be too.

    might push for a £50 credit, at least I'll definitely get that.

    You've heard the budget speech now you've been told. Make lots of cash then die before you're old 'Cause we're gonna Tax Gran that's what it is We're gonna Tax Gran freeze her allowances. You better hope next winter isn't cold. We're gonna Tax Gran, we're glad she's there.To subsidize the Billionaires. We're gonna Tax Gran and this is wrong!
