Technique/process for keeping Sky after cancelling

I have recently cancelled my Sky TV package, giving 31 days notice.
I have two key questions:
* Am I correct to assume I will get marketing calls over the next month?
* Am I able to call them up at any time right up to day 31 and re-instate my existing package as it was when I cancelled (which was on better terms than new packages - eg. F1 given with HD, whereas for new users you have to take Sports to get F1.)
When I cancelled, they couldn't offer me any discount :-(
I guess I'm already getting quite a few discounts on my Phone/Broadband that is with Sky.
Current package:
* Entertain Extra with Movie HD £53.24
* Broadband FREE
(£15 discounted by £5.00 because have SKY landline, discounted further £2.50 because have TV, discounted further by £7.50 for 12 months, by contracting for 12 months)
* Sky talk £11.70
(paid £140.40 for 12m in advance)
TOTAL £64.94
Am getting good discount on Phone and broadband.
But TV is still full price :-(
By cancelling Sky TV, my broadband would go up a little.
Would have liked a discount on the TV package.......

So you only cancelled in the hope of an offer, they are waiting for you to blink first.
What ever you do don't blink................................................That gum you like is coming back in style.0 -

I doubt you'll get any calls during your notice period, it's more likely you'll get flyers posted to you offering TV at a reduced rate after you have cancelled.0 -
I certainly don't think Sky will re-instate your package on the original favourable terms now that you have cancelled. But you can always ask!"There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe a 'Princess Coronation' locomotive in full cry. We shall never see their like again". O S Nock0
