Good deal on Sky. Refer a friend and get an £125 gift card for you both. Just got ours on a basic package but is all we need.Thanks Sky:D:D

50% off and £100 credit negotiated for both ourselves and my girlfriend's parents after cancellation. They'll play a little hardball but the offers are still there.

I gave notice to cancel yesterday. The "best" deal they could offer was 35% off for 5 months of a 12 month contract. This was after I said I didn't want to listen to any offers.


I'm not playing a game this time, definitely switching to BT. Had enough of Sky.

I've been offered the same today, 35% off my Sky TV for 6 months (which works out at about £10 a month or £60 in total). Told them I'd speak to my other half and then decide. Is it likely I'll get a better deal?

If you have given your cancel notice, you should see at least a 50% deal on your MySky. If not, try online chat and try to speak to someone in India to get the best deal.

You must cancel your TV before you get at least a 50% off deal. See above for info.

Perhaps not factually 100% true now.
As reported by me and many others 35% is appearing in mysky after cancelation and they are playing a bit more hardball.

I think you missed the part where I said I wasn't looking for a better offer! I'm happy to leave and go to a new provider.

POPPYOSCAR

We had a call yesterday(cancellation due 13th April)


Offered 50% discount, eventually, but with less channels.


Declined their offer.

I cancelled my broadband and landline yesterday, well tried to, but anyway told them I was going to PlusNet - the advisor on live chat refused to haggle, just agreed that the current PN deal is very good!

Had a sorry to see you go email today, no offers, and nothing on MySky - will definitely change TV provider as well now!

Serendipity

I called Sky to cancel the sports package (which we had only signed up for a few years ago to get 3D). So I was chatting to this very friendly Welshman about 3D, 4K and so on, for about 10 minutes, then as well a bringing my bill down by cancelling sports, he said as I'd been so friendly he would give me a 6 month discount of £16.01 a month! We carried on chatting for a while, then said our goodbyes like old friends!
That's what you call customer service :T
