Hi All

£40 to £45 would be good price 

Just realised i dont have as much pulling power here as my sports and cinema ends next month but everything else ends in october. now offering me £63 for an 18month or for the 9/10 months i pay the increased bill of 89.50 so a £31 increase. So thats another £279 additonal to my current payment until i can cancel or take the current deal where im paying £4.50 extra. even in. that 9 month on this new deal i would save 238.50. ideally wanted cheaper but just dont have any pulling power on this occasion

We still have the old Sky HD box and last time we tried to negotiate an upgrade to SkyQ it was quite expensive, so we didn't bother and instead cancelled all services and took a 50% discount retention offer. That offer is now over and we're back to £58 per month (which I think is far too much).
Our current bill is:
      Original: £28
      Sky Sports - Complete Pack: £28
      Sky Sports HD: £2

What pricing should we be aiming at? We can't add internet (Openreach not available here) but hubby would be interested in BT Sport if we could get it for a decent price. And how much does it normally cost to move to Sky Q? I've looked but I can't find any pricing for that on the Sky website.

Looking at this thread it would appear offers are Signature £15 sports £14, plus £2 HD, Bt  £13. Am sure you can get new box.  Put cancellation in and see what deal they come up with

Out of contract - without Sky currently. My current offer. Old Sky Box
SKY Signature SD £15pm 
SKY Sports HD £14pm
Total £29pm.

Last time I inquired, they would give Sky Q box for free and credit admin fee.

Phoned them they gave me this.
£18 the usual
Plus £5 for ultimate tv add on & £1 UHD because he said the netflix needs UHD addon to be able to use 4 screens. 

Got the £10 admin fee waived too

Hi,
Which number did you ring? I have the same message in my account, and left about 6 months ago. I went on chat today and they offered me the same prices as on their website.

That sounds great and would love to know if you can possibly get it for £40 but several of those prices are good anyway. Compiling best renewal offers (confirmed or suggested) from the last month on this thread I get 
Sky signature £15 + HD £2
Kids £1
Sport £14 (someone said £12) + HD £2
Cinema £6
Multi room £5.50
= £45.50 plus whatever Ultra HD can be bought for now.

Monitoring this thread as I am going to try and re-negotiate mine for the first time ever as my 18 months is up in a month. Will let you know how i get on.

Friend of mine paying £40 a month for entertainment, box sets, kids, hd and sports hd.. looked on his renewal and they offering same for £45.  Yes that’s a rise and yes can get it cheaper, but from a virgin media customer like me I was astonished at that price, when our deals expire they almost double for similar packages... having said that I would still advise him to cancel judging by what people been offered after on here😀

Currently paying £36 pm for that "package" - and I've seen posts where customers have got even better than that!!

Yep, on here seen you can get it lot less.. I was just quite impressed they didn’t bump his renewal up to stupid amount like Virgin do.  I will tell him to put cancellation in when he can, as he wants to try and get UHD with the Netflix
