    Any idea for what should be a target price for pretty much the full works on TV (less Kids) with no broadband or phone tie-in.

    Looking at Sky Q with one additional room (already have the kit setup)
    Full Sports (Sky + BT), Ultra HD, Netflix, Movies optional.

    Just trying to get an idea for what is reasonable (initial price quoted was £84), also need to benchmark against Virgin anyway as I have my broadband with them.
    Signature £13 to £19
    Kids £1
    Hd £1 to £2
    Sky sports £15
    Sky movies £5 to £8
    Bt sport £13
    Multiscreen £5 to £10
    Ultra HD free
    Netflix £2.50 to £4
    Broadband superfast with tie in £18 to £25
    No tie in £32

    The above is all possible depending on the advisor you get 

    Many thanks!

    In the end they just came back with the £84 offer, so I cancelled.

    Virgin were offering about half the price (albeit excluding Netflix) so I will go with that as the other option
    Have a look on sky,com/mydeal now you’ve cancelled, see what’s there if anything
    Annoyingly the "deals" link never works on my account, just keeps going to a page with "We are having technical difficulties"

    Same for me. I got a text message a couple of days ago and the link they sent in that was:
    sky.com/reviewmyoptions
    Log in first to the sky website then paste that address in and see if it works for you.
    They have a live chat option as well which was available within 2 minutes for me to chat to someone

    Thanks that link does actually work for me, but when I click through from there on the link to look at offers online it shows as ineligible, so I guess they aren't too bothered about my departure. 

    To be honest I'm not sure if I will even go with Virgin, their broadband recently has been flaky enough to make me not want to tie myself even closer with another contract. In the absence of a better offer from Sky I might just get rid of the pay TV for a while, to be honest I don't really watch THAT much of it, I have enough streaming and other content to get by with. It is probably very nice to have rather than "have to have" for me these days.

    Plus the last time I left they were practically giving it away to me 6 months later (although I appreciate they are under new ownership now)

    I think it only works once you’ve cancelled and they’ve got  something to offer you

    Haha my mate still has it in his page 2 weeks after agreeing a new deal,  it’s annoying cos they wanted £19 for sports with him, so he ditched that yet on his my deals page it says £14.  You can’t click the £14 though as you have to take the signature at £17, which he has cheaper.  All very bizarre.
  • Has anyone taken the deal for TV & Superfast Broadband for £39 (Signature at £21 and Superfast Broadband at £18) and managed to get a discount on the HD? I took this deal in the end but they would not budge on charging £6 for HD so I'm paying £45 a month.
