I had them offer a £10 credit to cover it just 2 days ago, unfortunately they thought £20 a month for Entertainment was a good deal for me...

My package breakdown is,

Entertainment £11

&

Sport £17

If I do cancel the sport midway through the contract will be left paying £11 for Entertainment.

I used web chat today to get the following for my Sky Q:

Original Prices -
Entertainment £27
HD £5
Boxset £10
Multiroom £13
Netflix (separate) £10
Total - £65

New deal
Entertainment £20
HD £4
Multiroom £13
Boxset & Netflix £12
Total £49

Saving - 25% or £192 per year.

I did try and get some of the better deals that people had got on this forum but was unsuccessful. Still not too bad

Latest sky mobile offer kindly accepted their offer of 1gb data sim which resulted in me ordering 11" i pad pro. This nil cost sim saves me 48*6-keeps new i pad @£20 per month
All going well I could make enough from 10.5 re cycle to purchase 11" Smart Keyboard.
Anyone mser's have knowledge on using i pad recycle.co.u.k

I must admit that I can't ever recall my TV price going up mid contract although no one has ever told me it's a fixed price.

Mine has as has my parents. I guess it all depends on when you made the deal in relation to the increase.

I recently negotiated for my parents. Their TV price is not increasing as the deal seemed to take April's increase into account - eg. contract price of £22 for Entertainment ( as opposed to £20 ) reduced to £13. Their BB/Phone prices are increasing so they could leave on that bit.

My deal for TV only made on 6th April last year is due to see an increase for the TV this April. I will be renegotiating that soon as the 12 months is just about up.

Sky's increase last year didn't apply to my parents deal at all that I got for them but this new one is. In fact their deal is up in the summer (I got them Entertainment, Cinema, Sports, Sports HD and the HD pack £50 all in) so I'll see what I can do for them again in June I think it runs out.

Just issued my cancellation on Sky Q. Was paying £85 for everything incl broadband but want it cheaper, instead they came in at £110.

Will see if winback offer me anything otherwise i'll be going elsewhere.

I hope you did not cancel your broadband.


If you did then your broadband can go off within 14 days and also within the 14 days you can not go to any other broadband providers as sky have a stop on your line.


If you got to virgin then the above will not matter.

I have Sky Entertainment for £16 a month (£15 for entertainment and £1 for HD) but got the old "price rise" email today.

I'm hoping Sky can give it to me for this price again despite the £2 increase next month if I do the usual cancel it tactic. Anyone got entertainment and HD for this price in 2019?

The price rise is avoidable if you ask CEO's office
