My account offer is now showing ...Entertainment £15 but they have increased box sets and HD to £3.50 each!! Last Friday on mydeal it was £17 plus £1 each for box sets and HD, now its saying can`t process any thing on line and I need to chat or ring them.

Its only been a week since I gave notice, so hanging on a bit longer.

EDIT - Have now just added Sky Q multiroom to my account, they gave me a 2TB box and a mini box for free and waived the £30 installation fee, so my total bill is now £49 a month

Just been offered all channels minus kids, HD, box sets, upgrade to skyq 2tb, multiroom, mini box, superfast broadband (no boost) for 90 a month, no set up fee but a £10 admin fee. Is this poor?

I have just got all Channels except Cinema with multiroom and Netflix for £56 but no broadband if that helps

I got all the above on Sky Q plus HD and Cinema for £57.

It was a hard slog though, as although that was an earlier chat quote, when I went back to them they said that didn't include multi-room and that would add £13.

As I had the chat transcript I insisted that they honour the deal, and they did after some 'discussion'. They also waived the admin fee.

its not terrible but I have the identical TV pacakage, 2TB Q and a mini box for £49 a month, I dont have the internet tho, ive been a customer for 16 years which probs qualifies me for the max discount

Don't think that makes the slightest difference unfortunately.

you might be right but one of my friends has been a customer for only a few years and when he tried the same trick and handed in his 31 day cancellation notice he actually waited for it to run out, he was disconnected for a few days before agreeing a new deal but he still didnt get as cheap as I did
