Seems a good deal, sport particularly! How did you get the package offer?

Initially my renewal quote came up to £77 - called them and they would only reduce to £68. 
Then passed me onto the retention team who would only drop the price to £49.
I cancelled my contract. 
My box was due to be cut off in two days time, so I tried my luck through the live chat function on the website and was offered this deal with no haggling whatsoever!

Well done, I'm out of contract and waiting for a good offer for a Sky Q box but not good enough yet. They want me to take 'good deals' on my old HD+ box, but I'm not taking an 18 month deal on it!

How long does it normally take to start getting offers after cancellation?

I had an offer on the tv straight away but it was rubbish. £20 entertainment package. Went on live chat after a couple of days and got £79 worth of tv packages for £48. (They said £51 but lowered it again when the deal couldn’t be put through and they had to do it the following day. 

Sky ents, cinema, kids, HD, ultimate on demand and multiroom

My SKY ended last week when I moved across to Virgin Media.nThey have just emailed with their "We Miis You Already" email.
In the email they offered Entertainment, Sports & Movies for £34pm. Box sets £1, Kids £1, HD £2. 18 month contract with one off £10 fee. Too little too late SKY.

I'm a couple of days away from the day to give Sky notice! My package is due to go up from the current deal @ £35pm to £71, and I'm not going for that! 
Which phone number is the best to call currently??
