    There's a notice on the tv offering entertainment for £15 . I don't know if the other prices would be as the offer . If so that would be £42 . I think I'll wait a while see if anything else is offered .

    They won't be, there's usually an offer of £3.50 for each add-on on the same page. I'm presuming you get to choose which you want at the same time as otherwise it'll be full price at £5.

    Be aware that the page with the £15 offer can automatically sign you up with no further interaction, if it does then you'll be receiving 'Thank you for signing up' emails a couple of hours after you last visited. It's not unusual according to the agent I spoke to last week when it happened to me.

    Online now I have a "your sky tv" page . It has entertainment £15 (12 month deal) I can add on sports £17 HD £1 No mention of multi room or admin charge. If it's £13 multi room , that would be £46

    I'm scared to click checkout to have a look as it may sign me up . I may hold on a while as I only cancelled a few days ago , not sure if I will get a better offer than that though .

    I just secured a new deal for fibre max with the retentions department after initially leaving due to the price increase. I tried to use this time to get a better deal with my TV but they said there was nothing that could be done. So I've begrudgingly accepted the price increase for entrainment and my TV package is now
    Entrainment - £13
    Complete sports in HD - £15
    Box sets - free
    HD - free
    Sky Go Extra - free

    As for my fibre max, I was paying £27 then with the price increase it would've been £29. A week after cancelling they came back with an offer of £22, which I accepted.
    So my sky bill for TV, fibre and line rental every month is £50. In addition to this I have BT sport on sky in HD for £14 a month. So the overall total is £64.



    That's the best deal so far on here for this year, shame I didn't get offered this

    I'm in the same boat as you, cancelled Friday night and sky.com/mydeal has that. However I'm currently on Sky Q and it doesn't seem to mention that on that page. I also have Fibre Max which went up loads in price which isn't mentioned there. I was offered £57 a month for box sets package and Fibre Max, but cancelled and have taken out Virgin for £52 a month (and much better internet). That's due to be installed in a month so I'll see if Sky come back with anything better before then. I'm hoping they do as I watch a lot of Sky Atlantic stuff but I won't be too sad if I have to change to Virgin instead.

    Cancelled on 30 March. Took up the offer of £15 a month entertainment, £1 he and £1 box sets with a £10 admin fee. The admin fee sticks in my throat but I'll go with it thus year

    Received an email offering a base price of £20 for entertainment plus the other upgrades like box sets for an extra £1. However the /mydeal site had it for £15. As with others in this thread I had to screenshot that but have been given it. I’m sure they didn’t mention the admin fee but will check my new bill when it appears.
  • My current £45 per month deal is about to expire:
    Sky Entertainment £15
    Sky Kids £1
    Sky HD £1
    Sky Box Sets £1
    Sky Cinema £9
    Sky Go Extra Free
    Sky Fibre Max (including line rental) £18

    The best renewal offer available was £64.49 so have given 31 days notice.

    Vodafone 35Mb is currently £21 per month (excluding £50 amazon voucher) OR 63Mb £26 per month (excluding £75 amazon voucher)
