OK,
so, after about 2 hours, and pushing with every ounce of my negotiating fibres, I agreed on:-


Ultimate on Demand £6 per month(£6 saving- and no need for boxsets at £2.50)
Entertainment pack £12 (£15 discount)
HD £2.50(£2.50 discount)
Complete sports pack £15(£15 discount)
Multiroom on Q £6.50(£6.50 discount)
Broadband superfast £27(£5 discount)
Broadband Boost £2(£3 discount)
Sky Anytime talk £0(£10 discount)


Total £71 per month for 18 months
£20 admin fee, that will be waived on next bill, and £180 (normally £349) for a 2TB Q box and 3 mini boxes.


Seems about the best deals on the market by looking at this forums history??
2 hours of my life gone, but saved £954 over the next 18 months so worth it IMHO

MM2002

just finalising deal and lowered the sky q by £20, so now £160 for Q 2TB and 3 mini boxes!!

I just got something similar (was due to come off last 3 years with 60% discount next month).

No phone / broadband so TV only.

18 month contract.

£15 entertainment
£1 HD
£1 kids
£6 ultimate on demand (includes Netflix)
Movies £11

We just have a Sky HD box at the moment so also got 1TB Sky Q for £20 installation.

£20 admin fee refunded as credit.

The movies are not part of the 18 month contract so thinking about dropping them after Xmas which will make the package £23 ish.

I think i'm happy with that!

Yes, that seems to be it at the moment, started out at £94.50 (with my 'great news - we've given you 12 months of new offers' letter - which was actually a way of disguising an increase of £10 on what I was paying previously), on the text chat they dropped to £89, said that the black friday deal was better than that, eventually came down to £84.50 which I was about to agree to but then mentioned about Sky boost as they claim the new router is better than the Sky Q router - which should have pushed my price up to £86.50.

However, because I was changing to broadband boost it appears to have let the agent access other deals and I ended up getting everything (except kids - mine are too old now) for £76.50 (sports HD is included in the £15 sports channel price).

Entertainment = £12 (Usually = £27)
Ultimate on demand = £6 (Usually = £12)
Hd = £2.50 (Usually = £5)
Sports = £15 (Usually = £30)
Cinema = £5.50 (Usually = £19)
Multiscreen = £6.50 (Usually = £13)
Broadband Superfast = £27 (Usually = £32)
Boost = £2 (Usually = £5)

Total = £76.50

Yes, there was a £10 admin charge - but I was happy to pay that as it adds the equivalent of 55.5p per month - overall, still less than I was paying by £7.45/month

18 month contract.

HTH

After accepting above deal I phoned today to cancel £11 Cinema offer element.

Sky (kindly) knocked it down again to £7.


So:

Sky Q = one off £20 install fee

Then:

£15 entertainment
£1 HD
£1 kids
£6 ultimate on demand (boxsets & Netflix)
Movies £7

= £30 per month

Definitely happy with that. :beer:

How did you message them on facebook? I've gone through the general Sky page and all they have done is sent me a link back to: the generic sky help pages.
