I negotiated an upgrade to Sky Q and superfast broadband at £10 less than I'd been paying before and was happy enough with that.Then I read this thread and decided I'd agreed too early so I followed the link to online chat and said although I don't want to leave, I would like for instance HD free of charge as a friend had been offered it. I thought it would probably be better to have an offer in mind.Eventually he came back with £4 off TV and £2 off broadband, so I got my £6 discount overall.So I used to pay £71 with box sets and HD. Now I've got Sky Q (1TB box) and superfast broadband (we'll see if that actually works!) for £55.I think I'm happy with thatOf course:Sky Signature £25Sky HD £2Broadband Superfast £25Broadband boost £3Line Rental and pay as you talk - Free
Broadband boost is a gimmick imo, but personal preference.
I think you could do better, especially as you have fibre as well, so you have more negotiating power
I have been offered.
Signature £13
Fibre £22.0 -
I was currently only 12 months in to a new 18 month contract so didn't have as much leverage as I would have liked but was happy with the discount.
Was previously on:-
Entertainment - £17.
Ultimate on demand - £12.
Sky Sports - complete pack - £21.
Sports HD - £2.
Sky HD - £4.
Total - £57
(+£30 for BT internet at end of contract so £87 total).
New deal after phoning a few times and asking nicely:-
Signature - £17.
Ultimate TV add on (Netflix) - £4.
Sky sports complete pack - £16.
Sports HD - £2.
HD - £2.
Superfast Broadband - £20.
No set-up fee for broadband and waived admin fee.
Total - £61.
As I said would have had more leverage if I was at the end of the contract but happy with the saving.0 -
So this is the deal I recently got for Sky Q 2TB box. Existing customer still had 12 months left on my contract and renewed for another 18 months:

Sports in HD for £17

HD for £4

Cinema in HD for £8
Broadband/phone £22
Total £85.50 per month.Very happy as previously I was paying £56 per month for Sky, £53 for BT per month (phone and internet) and £9.99 per month for Netflix so saved myself nearly £35 per month.0 -

Haggling on behalf of my grandparents and they have offered £44 / month for the following: Signature, Cinema, Sky Sports, HD.
Is this a good deal or not? Thanks in advance.0 -
I have been offered £25pcm SD(old sky box) for signature and sport.
I would estimate that cinema and HD would be £8 max on top of this0 -
I had a look back through 10-15 pages and can't find many prices for BT sport.
What sort of deal is the going rate for BT sport on sky?0 -
