    I just wanted to let you know my experience. 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 that  :)

    can you provide a breakdown of package costs so we know
    Of course:
    Sky Signature £25
    Sky HD £2
    Broadband Superfast £25
    Broadband boost £3
    Line Rental and pay as you talk - Free

    historically looking on here you could have got signature for £15 ish, and superfast fibre from £20

    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
    Old HD box - 18 month contract - £10 admin fee.

    I have been offered.

    Signature £13
    Fibre £22.
  • 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.

    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:
    Signature £15
    Mutliscreen for £12.50 (2 Sky Q mini boxes) 
    Sports in HD for £17
    UHD FREE
    HD for £4
    Kids for £3
    Ultimate TV Addon 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. 


  • I’ve got 6 months left on TV and Fibre contract is up. 
    I was offered everything for - £103 dispute pleading that I can no longer afford even my original deal (£94). 

    Sky signature - £21
    Ultimate on demand - £4
    Sky kids - £2
    sky sports complete - £27
    Sky cinema - £5.50
    sky sports HD - £2
    HD - £2
    sky Q multiscreen £12.50
    sky fibre - £27
    £20 admin fee(s)
    Currently going through to cancellations to ask about the consequences of leaving early. Wish me luck!

    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.
  • 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 this
  • 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?
