Phoned up and cancelled sky tv, starting to regret it

Options
I phoned up sky to cancel sky tv, I still currently have sky fibre as I'm in contract and also phoneline from them.
I'm starting to regret my hasty cancellation, my tv has around 25 days to run till its cut off. Are they likely to ring me with an offer?

    No, they'll let you cancel then (in the coming months) send mailshots offering you incentives to return.

    You'll still have all the Freesat from Sky channels to watch (though no PVR functions).
    Contrary to common belief, there was life before Sky.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Same here FREESAT FROM SKY, and playback on the conmputer.
    Cheaper is the radio, some brilliant plays and comedy, though draw the line at The Archers.

    cancelled my sky tv a few months ago.
    I keep getting mail shots and phone call to get me to return. Offered me half price for 6months now offering me 12 months half price to return and free hd box.

    It is not certain that they will not call. Sometimes they do call before the cancellation date.

    Alternatively, you are free to call at any point up to your date of cancellation to cancel your cancellation!

    I agree but I too cannot stand the Archers. It needs a drive by shooting.

    I'd like someone to tell me truthfully of a (recent) occasion where they have.

    Much more likely to send you mailshots.

    I have had an idea, aparantly I'm not in contract with my sky fibre. When I rang up they confirmed. I find this a little odd as I have not been with them for a year yet, I think I best get it in writing before I switch.
    Anyway I'm toying with the idea of a you-view box an you get it for £50 with no monthly fee I you take bt infinity fibre broadband which is roughly the same price as sky fibre
