    I know its rubbish, think they you anything to make you sign up again. The offer has come down from £22 to £17 to am very hopeful of getting £15 for entertainment. Don`t suppose there will be any more offers on my account so no doubt will have to try and get it through chat.

    A tip is not to order additional mini boxes and wait until the fitter attends and buy them for 69.99 instead of 99,00 from Sky call centre operatives.
    I had Sky q fitted last week and purchased three boxes of the fitter saving £90
  • I can't get them to budge from the £57 offer and I don't have the time to keep going on the phone or chat.

    I currently have an offer of £15 for all Sports and £11 for cinema (both for an 18 month contract) which are time limited so you need to put your cancellation in now. Or just accept the £57 offer, no one can do it for you.

    Thanks for the tip, do you know though if this will defo be offered by all engineers? I can get a free mini box with the Sky VIP but defo need that 2nd mini box I was just about to pay £99. Just worried incase a engineer arrives and wouldn't have any for sale.

    I think they get a bonus for upselling so they'll certainly offer one, whether they have one to hand or not is in the hands of the gods.

    Fairy wishes. It’s my understanding they have plenty of mini boxes on their vans because they get an incentive to sell them

    They are in a box labelled "mugs" -who in their right mind pays for these things which will never be yours ???
  • Had my usual 18 month battle with Sky which usually involves my cancellation followed by a chat with the retentions team. Very successful this year where I’ve managed to reduced my cost to £50 from £65.

    That is for pretty much the full package on Sky Q (except kids) with multiroom and HD including on demand. Considering adding broadband if the price is right...
