SKY New customers deal...

Nice one. Just saw it on HUKD! ;-)

Can I just say that this is cracking value @ £36pm for the entire package on the 50% deal.
The on demand content is much more than I envisaged. I'm very impressed.
Cancelled Netflix for a year because there's so much.

I still think I'll be back to Virgin next year or goto BT for the first time. I'm not paying £72pm next year for the TV!

I'm gutted I missed this, we've just moved into our own place and can get sky, the other half wants sports and I quite like all the box sets but we've been quoted the full price of £54! That's without movies or broadband. Does anyone have any ideas how we could get a deal? Our sky rep in the area said if we sign up for the basic package then they might give us an upgrade deal but I'm not convinced as you can't threaten to leave as you're stuck for 12 months

You cannot cancel and rejoin as a new customer using the same name and address, unless you leave for a year.

Can we rejoin at the same address and just change the of the name of the account holder?

Don't you think Sky will know that you've just cancelled at that address?

Your Sky account is for your whole Household.

You could probably fraudulently tell them that the old occupier has moved out and you are the new tenant. Would you also pay with a different bank account/credit card etc?

Seems like a lot of hassle for little reward..

So why, in the main Sky discussion on this site are people able to cancel and when they're contract has ended they receive an e-mail within a couple of days offering them 50% off if they return to Sky. This also happened to a friend of mine so I'm not sure why you're saying you can't return to Sky within 12 months??

Absoloutley.

If you have someone with a different second name seems like the best and easiest solution.

You've misunderstood completely. You can return to Sky immediately!

What you cannot do is return and be classed by Sky as a "new customer" with new customer deals and equipment unless you cancel for more than twelve months.

A different surname might work, but Sky's terms and conditions state that a given household must be cancelled for 12 months or more to qualify as a "new" customer.
