You don't need a technique; just let them switch you off then check your app, Sky box or My Sky.

Phoned Sky yesterday to cancel phone and broadband. Of course the nice Scottish lady came back with a deal ,£8 cheaper than what I am paying now, and made the point of it being on a 12 month contract not 18.

I said a lot can happen in 12 months, this time last year I had 2 legs. She said I am really sorry to hear that Mr ***** I said, yes, I went on one of these medical research programmes and at the end of the week I had 3 legs.

They payed me £5000 for the week but I have spent it all on having special jeans made and having to buy 2 pairs of shoes at a time. She said how terrible but I now come under their disability scheme and I can have 50% 0ff. Great!

Then she said what about Sky tv? I reply that I'm blind, and she says your in luck Mr ***** we are doing a half price offer for blind people today. Yes lets go for it!

So now I'm getting the full works for £12 . She says is there anything else I can help you with , I say sorry, do you think you could repeat that I'm a bit deaf. Why didn't you say that earlier Mr *****, lets see what we can do!

I have the Variety Pack with sports and cinema, HD and multiscreen.

I had been getting some discount so was paying £76, this is now going up to the full £92.

I used online chat and was offered 33% and then 40% off for 10 months in a 12 month contract. I asked if they could do 40% off for the full 12 months... they said no, so I cancelled.

By the time I'd put my laptop away, made a brew and turned the TV on, there was a deal on screen for 60% off for 12 months. So I'll now be paying £51.20.

I'm really happy with that, I've nearly always had some discount but never been brave enough to actually cancel, hubby would have a mad do if he'd known I'd cancelled. but what he doesn't know won't hurt him :rotfl:

So just went online to check my future bills and it will be higher than expected. Despite offering a 60% discount on my current package, they have added £12 for Sky+HD which I was not paying for before. Anyone else had this?

I was paying £67 for the Variety with HD package. This included £5.00 for sky go extra. Also had Sky+ subscription and Sky 3D free. There was no separate line for this £12 charge for Sky H D

I expected to pay a discount of 60% on my £67 package + £5 for sky go extra. Did I calculate this wrong?

Thank you

You beat me to it by 10 minutes but yep, that's multi room. I'm guessing the OP had a free multiroom which has run out (or Sky's messed up). Discounts don't apply to multiroom normally.

I don't have multiroom. Never had it.
I live in a one bedroom flat
