He claimed no one got offered the £20 deal it seems too good to be true and he won't offer it me. So I left it. Will try them again in a couple of days

Worth trying again I think. Mine isn't quite as good as the £20 but not too dissimliar considering I've got additional stuff - £32 for the below TV package. Goes up to £48pm when I included broadband but a good deal for the overall TV package I think.

SkyQ 1TB
Cinema HD
Sports HD
Entertainment HD

Canceled my sky and this weekend it turned off

My best offer is sky entertainment, sky sports, box sets, all in HD for £36pm 12-month contract. I declined as they wanted to charge me £10 admin fee Grrrr

If I go into my sky offers I have almost the same offer for 37.50pm but without the admin fee, which i know over 12 months works out more.

Apparently, according to the guy I spoke to, they get discount codes for this stuff and when I was offered £27 p/m he had to use a couple of codes. Last ones available. But when I called back an hour later the code had been used up. They apparently get the codes regularly so I'll try again.

Does anyone know, are boxsets standard a Todd sky q or do u pay extra for that too

Not standard with SkyQ unfortunately (I can only vouch for the 1TB though). I tried to get them thrown in with my offer but they were having none of it!

You can get box sets thrown in for £1 If you negotiate enough but it's not standard for Q.

Your thinking about £27 a month, i would jumped all over that over that. I have been without Sky for 12 months and the cheapest they have offered is £34 a month for Sports on old sky hd box and £36 for Q box.

I have sinced gone down the Now TV route season sports pass for £179 and Entertainment for £38 a year. Not ideal, much prefer the satellite feed than streaming.

I don't mean to be rude, but what was your bargaining tactic? I didn't have to do much to get Sports/Entertainment/HD with a Qbox for £20. I just kept refusing any offer and mentioning NowTV offering me £20/month (which was true)


Good chance I just got lucky though or somebody made a mistake, seems like no one else has an offer like mine

Hi guys
Long time since I logged into this thread. Its aprox 2.5 years since I did the threaten to leave thing and I got my bill down to less than half price for 12 months.
But since that ended IVe been paying full price for the last 18 months or so and it!!£95.50 now as IVe got Sky Q and the full tv package including sports and movies.
Simple question - if I give notice to quit what realistically should I accept from the detentions dept?? Thanks

yes I saw that, just wanted to confirm it, because when I spoke to love digital I mentioned your deal the guy was adamnant he's worked there 17 years and never seen a deal like that. So possibly a mistake or he was telling porkies. I shall try again when I get time.
