Just gave my 31 days notice. 1st time in 10 years. Had offers before but all crap like 20% which I'm fed up of taking while new customers get everything.

If I'm offered anything now will it pop up in my offers? As in the bit then takes you to upgrade offers?

Wonder if I'll get anything before disconnection day.

No, it should be on the main page of your Sky account.

Ah ok. Well nothing there after 2 hours, dunno how some people get it after 2 mins of cancelling! Hopefully it'll happen!

Should I be regretting this now or hold my nerve? Do offers turn up at anytime?

I have never had anything in the my offers section and I'm currently on a 60% off deal. It doesn't really mean anything. Just call them/head on to live chat and no doubt you will be offered something.

They've already offered me 40% for 6 months but minimum 12 months. Crap offer.

As already noted, the best deals are offered to those who cancel and mean it. If you are not prepared to have your services switched off, your offers will not be as generous...

This is not always the case. I didn't get any offers online, the first time I cancelled; just a message saying that there were no offers available online, but call them.


This time, my offers came by email ( so I didn't check on My Sky), within hours of cancelling.

I agree £0/month is a good price.

Having recently 'taken the plunge' after about 20 years, I can honestly say the change to a Freesat PVR (bought using 3 months' Sky subs) is very painless.

I'd suggest a survey of your own viewing habits helps - you may well be surprised that the vast majority of your viewing is on Freesat/Freeview channels and that only one or 2 subscription channels are ever really viewed (I found Living and Atlantic were mine).

We have been with Sky for 17 years and taken the plunge and cancelled it , we have 2 more weeks of utter drivel left
I cant wait tbh , My goal this year is to become clutter free , and this my sound mad but I find sky is just clutter

Well, Freeview isn't much better I'm afraid. However, if you don't want Movies and/or Sport, I agree there is little to recommend paying Sky for anything.

I did exactly this a few years back and it was indeed a revelation that most of our viewing was already from the free providers
