Rang cancellations last night I was paying £47 per month for Entertainment, HD, Sports and Cinema it increased to £65. The best they could offer me was £53. I went ahead and cancelled am I likely to get a better offer?

For your package you should be able to get them down to approx £30 to £35 when they call you back

Hi guys the time has come to haggle again could I ask at the moment what the best way to do it- phone or on chat. As usual our bill is due to fly up as at the end of a 2 year deal. If by phone is there a good number so I can avoid the general sale people? Many thanks

Gave my notice last weekend ahead of my contract end of 6th December. Received. A text today inviting me to call them or chat via the link to “ consider my options”. I’ll wait for a while I think.

Let my sky fully cancel then got back in touch with the winback team today via the text messaging service while at work and negotiated the following...

Signature £18
HD £3
Cinema £11
Sports £8
Multiscreen £7

Total for 18 months £47 a month

Could of maybe done a little bit better on the signature and maybe got HD for free but happy enough with that tried to haggle on a broadband deal but they were having none of it

They would have given Netflix and ultra hd for same cost if your pushed harder

Don't require Netflix as I have a profile on my brothers account and I don't own a ultra HD TV so would of been a waste of money but good to know for the negotiation in 18 months time

Hi - phoned up to cancel my Sky sub on Sunday, was a painless enough process, the lady just put it straight through. Have been through this process before and always took a discount deal within the cancellation period but I'm actually not too bothered if it goes completely this time. I seem to watch it less and less compared to Netflix, Amazon etc.

Having said that, if they phone me back I'll consider a discount offer if it's a genuinely good one.

Currently my package is the entertainment channels and box sets, kids, sports and HD on a sky+ box that I own outright (I don't have a particular interest in SkyQ).

What would be an acceptable benchmark amount for a 12 or 18 month deal for all that if they called me back with an offer?

£30 to £35 mark would be possible

Thanks - I would take a deal at around that amount I think.
