Really fed up with the yearly haggling with Sky. Current services are Sky Q box, with entertainment, cinema. box sets and HD. I am currently on my last 10 days of notice. Having spoken to every call centre in every country of the world I have been offered a deal of £27 per month on an 18 month contract.

However, I am so fatigued by the process I don't even trust my own mind to recognise a real deal. So many posts from different people who state they have been offered the world, account credits , 75% discounts etc. I feel that I am missing out.

Although it appears that all cashback has ceased, the account credits have stopped, and you are not classed as a new customer until 18 months have passed since your leaving.

I've just taken Entertainment+HD+Boxsets for £17 (£15+£1+£1) for 12 months so you're in effect adding Cinema for an extra £10.

I'd say that's not a bad deal and better than a new customer would pay @ £43 a month plus a £20 one off fee (£22+£5+£5+£11).

Is that Sky Q or regular Shy +HD box?

I managed to get an upgrade to the 1GB Q box for £20 a while ago (a few months before I renegotiated the package).

Sky Q 2tb box

I was a Sky Legacy customer with a 2tb Sky box and a 40% discount which expires in August, on a rolling contract. Was paying £34 a month.

Have lost interest in F1 so went on messenger today and negotiated the following on a 18 month contract -

Entertainment £13
Hd £1
Box-Sets £1
= £15 a month

I lose kids channels and F1 which i don't need and save £19 a month.

I'll be changing provider on the broadband though - have a wifi issue with the router, weakening signal, to which their answer is for me to pay £75 for a wireless booster!!

Disappointed with my offer via Facebook chat.

£66 for all TV including Netflix & multiroom but without Movies (which seems pointless with Netflix)

This is the same as a new customer. Apparently the loyalty is being able to negotiate new deals. Haha ��

Just wants me to cancel. All very odd....

Or am I being unreasonable?

Sky keep sending me 'sure we can't tempt you back' emails, I must have had 6 offering Entertainment and Sports for £28. Today I get another one offering the same for £42. what a shower they really are.

I've just put in my cancellation for everything as my bill was going up to £71.49 when the offer on the TV comes to an end.

I had the old Boxsets package which had 40% off making it £24.90 from £41.50 and Fibre max/line rental at £29.99. (£54.89 in total)

When I spoke online to a Sky agent I got offered:
Entertainment: £20
HD: £1
Boxsets: £1
Line rental/Fibre Max left as it was at £29.99

New total cost: £51.99

I said I'd still like to cancel thinking they'd make another offer but they didn't.

So everything gets disconnected on the 6th Aug.

While typing I've just got a notification on my phone as I have the MySky app and there's already offers for Sky Entertainment at £15, Sky Sports £17, Cinema £10, (or Sports & Cinema for £22) Kids £1, Boxsets £1, HD £1 all on a 12 month contract. (No offers on Line rental/BB/Fibre max)

Arghhh I don't know what to do now as this is the first time I've cancelled everything with Sky.

What should I do?
