    I've only just spotted that Sky now offer BT Sport as a direct part of the package - I'm seeing £25/month, versus the £24.50 I'm paying to BT directly now - BUT that only covers my main box, and not any of the other Q miniboxes (I assume I would get that directly through Sky)

    Anyone had any luck getting a better deal than £25/month on BT from Sky?

    Interested in the prices being paid. I was with Plusnet & had Sky Sport. Plusnet charge £12.49/month for BT Sport HD on Sky. If you haggled you could get 6 months at half price!

    My current Sky deal ends on 2 May, so will be putting in my cancellation on 2nd April.
    Question is, can i give them 31 days notice now, to commence on 2nd April or do i have to wait until 2nd April?
    I hope that makes sense
    Thanks
    You have to wait until 31 days away.

    I gave my notice notice on the 2nd Feb. Will end on 3rd March.
    Not true at all, you can give notice at any time for the end of the minimum term or obviously before (ETC's will ensue however for early termination)

    Hi
    My minimum term expires on 14 April 2020 but my billing period runs from 15 of one month to 14 of the following month. As I pay in advance I know that my best time to contact Sky would be before 14 of March but should I leave it until  exactly 14 March to make sure I can tell them to cancel it unless they can provide me with a reasonable discount? Thanks in advance for any helpful advice given.
  • So literally the day my Sky subscription finished, I went back on chat and got far better offers than before. Ended up with:

    Sky Q 1TB box (£10 one off fee)
    New router (£9.95 delivery fee)
    Entertainment £19
    HD £0
    Sports and Movies £12
    Superfast Broadband £20
    Total £51 fixed for 18 months.

    When you say fixed for 18 months do you think Sky will charge you £51 pm for 18 months and no price rises this April and next April 2021 ?
    I have seen a few posters on MSE mentioning "fixed" for so many months from Sky but it maybe a new thing now that Sky are doing "fixed" prices with no yearly price rises.
