Quick question about cancelling Sky

Options
Hi all

I'm on a rolling contract with sky and I'm about to cancel later this morning and I want a bit of info before i call them.

They have previously offered me a discount a couple of days ago but I just dont use it enough to justify it.

I've also got a Humax box coming today.

However, i've got quite a lot of unwatched stuff on my Sky box.

My question is

If I ring up to cancel today will it basically be turned off today or will i get 30 days.

ta in advance!

    28 days notice is required. Which since you pay a month in advance, is already paid for.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Totally wrong it is 31 days and whether you have paid for it in advance depends on your payment date and the date you cancel.

    I was told 31 days so all month lengths are covered.

    Have you already rung them, I have a Freephone number if you want it.

    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • As stated it will go off 31 days after you call them, so you have to watch the stuff saved to the box by then.

    You don't need to worry about timing in the month though, I got my dates wrong when cancelling and was charged £5 for the 2 extra days, ie you will NOT be charged a full extra month.
