  • Been with Sky for 5 years and currently on a rolling contract. 
    Currently paying: Sky Box Sets: £45, Sky Sports Complete Pack: £28, Sky Sports HD: £6 & Sky Cinema: £6. Total: £90.  Separate Nexflix Subscription at £8.99 and BT Broadband with BT Sport HD: £82.65. Total outgoings for the month: £181.64 (which I know is extortionate).

    Decided to speak with Sky on Chat to either cancel or see if I could consolidate everything and reduce my monthly outgoings.
    I was offered Sky Signature: £20, Sky Ultimate TV: £5, Kids: £2, HD: £6, Complete Sports HD: £21, Cinema: £8, Multiscreen: £8, BT Sports: £22 & Superfast Broadband:£20   Total: £112 with £20 Admin Fee.
     
    Cancelled as didn't think it was a good deal.
    Just wondered what your thoughts are? and what I should be looking for?

    Feel like I’ve had a nightmare doing anything.

    My mums package is around £80

    £42 TV
    £27 essential broadband
    £10 sky talk extra 

    We tried to get a better deal, the broadband is stupidly slow compared to the next one up - and she’s paying the same price out of contract.

    I saw the new customer offer, stated I couldn’t get that, even if we left it would take 12 months.. 

    Best they would offer was signature package for £76.. (don’t think that was including the extr call minutes. I balked and said I’ll look elsewhere.

    I normally use chat but find the chat impossible lately to get on.

    any advice?
