SKY..Difficult to deal with.

Options
On a Sky HD Sports,broadband and phone package.
Latest bill = £117...month.
Am I right to think this is very expensive?.
Phoned to moan but only offered 10% off future bills so said I would think about it.
Please any advice......Thanks.

    Have you looked at how much a similar package is with Virgin or Talk Talk?

    You can do a comparison this would help you decide if the 10% is worth it

    Seems very high OP?

    Can you list your current package in detail? Is that price before or after the imminent price hike? I'm guessing you have a lot of phone calls attached to that bill.

    HD £10 odd
    Multiroom £10odd
    landline and broadband £20?

    £60 odd seems reasonable for their top package....

    You need to negoaite better.... even say your leaving, you have to give 1 months notice..... before the month is up they will call offering more!
    Promo codes are never always cheaper..... isnt that right EuropCar?

    The decent offers are only from retentions, not from the tier 1 customer service. So to get them you have to give notice and get put through to retentions , sorry, 'cancellations'.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    The total (from September) for all of that is:
    Entertainment Extra+ £32
    Sport £22
    Sports HD £5.25
    Broadband and line rental £22
    Anytime calls? £5 - you don't mention this?

    So it's £86.25 with anytime calls or £81.25 without (that's after the price increase)
    So your bill is seriously about £40 of additional calls, you need to look at these first before considering if you need to change providers!
