I'm not in contract on Sky B/band and pay the standard 17.40 line rnetal per month which is soon to be 18.99. So that's sky unlimited "free"

They have offered offered 17.40 p/m on a 12 mth contract less £18 credit which works out to £15.90 over 12 months.

Are people beating this? Can I get better? I do not have Sky TV if that helps.

thanks

I got it to £17.40 for 18 months and £48 credit which is half off the anytime calls cost for 12 months. (I don't have a calls package)

I have TV (Boxsets), although I've got the 60% discount and £50 credit on that in December so I'm not sure if that comes into it or not.

If you're happy with your deal I wouldn't let anyone else s experience necessarily stop you taking it.

Im not happy with it if I can beat it Your deal works out at 14.73 p/mth over 18 months.

I see for NEW customers you can get 60 cashback so at 18.99 * 12 = £13.99 per month. SO I would at least expect them to reach that figure right?

plusnet are £16.66 on their 12mth deal
origin are 14.44 on their 12 mth deal

Anyone add anything/ share their deal they got?

I was offered £15 a month to renew for a further 12 months on line rental. I started this last May and Sky had already extended the 'free' ADSL broadband to May 2018, haven't decided if I'll switch or stay yet but certainly not paying £18.99 a month.

£60 cashback? If that's via topcashback or equivalent surely that would only work with a new subscriber?

Yes its for new customers. The point is they shoudl match it. Anyhow I called up and the original "point of sale" offer is no longer available and the best they can do is 18.99 and thats it!

Can anyone suggest anything?

Sky's prices for new customers fluctuate on an almost daily basis, their deal now is £18.99 a month for 12 months 'Includes line rental & Sky Talk + £75 PrePaid MasterCard® + £9.95 router delivery'

So if you can get the £60 cashback too that would be a good deal.

that sounds pretty good. Is it worth now trying sky chat to beat this now. Or do they see conversations one has on the phone with Sky?

if you have cancelled then wait for a phone call from them. Alternatively go on online chat with them via 'if you have left within the last 12 months ' and see what they can do.

I'm happy to bide my time without sky for a bit until they offer me something im happy with

Rejoined after cancellation, dropped monthly cost for Box Sets+Sports+HD from £80 to £32 per month.

I was off for a couple of weeks as I tried to get a voucher or further discount but could not get any more

Lots of routes back in, sky box, phone app, web chat and phone call, make sure you check through them all to get the best deal.
