    I'm still in contract, but was hoping to get a better deal with Sky if I agreed to a new 18 month term again.

    I'm currently paying £68 per month for:
    Signature = £18
    Ultimate TV Add On = £4
    Cinema = £8
    HD = £3.50
    Multiscreen = £8.50
    Ultra HD = Free
    Superfast Broadband = £21
    Broadband Boost = £5

    Thought I might be able to reduce it a little, but contacted Sky on chat and had no luck. :-(

    You need to put in cancellation otherwise they won't entertain a price reduction

    How long left to run on the contract?

    It’s a bit of a mixed bag, Cinema runs out July, Broadband in December and Signature/Multiroom Jan 22. 😥

    @rsha I'm not sure if there is a quicker way than this, but I log into my account and click on:

    Help, My Account, Account and Subscription, Cancelling, Cancelling My Subscription, Cancelling Sky TV

    Scroll to the bottom and click Yes where it says “Do you want to cancel Sky TV”, then you should have the Message Us option.

    Hope that helps :-)

  • Hi everyone, my sky BB and talk ends in 6 days, I haven’t heard anything from them but chatted a couple of times and got the same old £27 p/m deal. Is there anything else I can do or just take it or leave? Thanks
