Delighted with Sky!!

I had a great experience when phoning up Sky today, so I thought I would share it

As it stands I'm in a bit of a poor position finance wise and I'm having to cut back in many areas. So I was advised to contact Sky to see if I could haggle, as I'm currently paying £51 a month.

So I phoned Sky and explained my situation and was advised I could receive half price line rental for a month, taking my bill to £31 a month. The maths doesn't really add up but I've had an e-mail confirming this.

Happy customer definitely staying with Sky x

For just a month ? You are correct that that doesn't make sense as line rental is £15 something, so half would be under £8

Yep I have no idea what else has been halved but I got a text message confirming my new monthly bill amount.

I shan't ring up and complain, lol xx

I think I'd have been inclined to try to push that a little further but ......... if you're happy.

1 month?

Just cancel it and you will save yourself £51 every month.

I require the internet, and an active phone line, for my job AND I'm tied in to a contract for 12 months so it's not as simple as cancelling it unfortunately. xx

No, by accepting the deal the OP has entreated into a new minimum contract. He obviously wasn't offered the deal while still under the original minimum term!:eek:

No "nope" about it. Sky don't offer people already still in contract the kind of deal discussed. There is no need or incentive for Sky to make deals with those still in the minimum term...
