    I spent nearly 90 minutes on "online chat" recently, in order to cancel my Sky TV sub. I'm about halfway thru the notice period and an offer for 35% off for 12 months is the best that has appeared on MySky so far.
    Hoping for at least 50% off !!

    Have just canceled via Web Chat. Took 40 minutes. Am not seeking an offer. Going to get a Humax Freesat recorder.

    You should have telephoned and used that sentence I quoted earlier.

    I did used something similar at every question from them. However I preferred to use web chat as it allowed me to do other things at the same time.

    40 minutes is a long time.

    Was that because the person had lots to say, was a slow typist or was dealing with a number of clients at once ?
