  • Hi all

    It’s that time again for me. Tried to message them tonight to give notice but had no response. Will try again tomorrow.

    this is what I’m currently on.

    Multi screen - £15

    Sky 3D - free

    Signature - £16

    Sky sports complete - £17

    Sky cinema - £8

    Sky sports HD - £2

    Sky HD - £4

    Ultra HD - free


    Total of £62. Current offer through the app is £84.


    What should I be aiming for realistically with the above.

    Thanks in advance!

    So they got back to me

    this is what I was offered

    Sky Signature - £16.00 a month 

    HD at £5.00 

    UHD at £0.00 

    Complete Sky Sports at £21.00 

    Sky Cinema at £8.00 

    Sky Q Multiscreen at £15.00

    £65 a month, £3 increase. Told this was best price etc


    Decided to proceed with cancellation so services finish on 4th feb. We’ll see how we get on.

  • Sky deal just shot up at end of discounts from £36.50 to £62.10 for
    Entertainment Package and Sky Sports full package.
    Been offered retention of £41 minus Kids Package..whatever that is.
    Anyone found basic package with full Sports please for less than £41pm?
    I've got Signature (includes Box sets) plus Sports all in HD for £37pm - probably could have done better if I persisted. Should be easier after Xmas to get deals
    Just got email offer to renew package at £31 per month & £10 admin fee.
    Will do online chat and try and get admin charge waived at least!

    Yes, basic 'entertainment' tv package as now with full Sports and £3 for HD. 

    The TV you love is about to get even better. So why not stay with us and make the most of all the good stuff that's coming your way? It's entertainment you won't want to miss. 

    Keep Sky TV including box sets and Sky Sports for just £28 a monthfor 18 months (plus a £10 one‑off fee). 

    This offer won't last forever though. So be sure to make the most of it while you can.

    Hopefully this might help someone knowing what to aim for (albeit the breakdown can probably be made to suit whatever Sky want!):

    Sky signature £16
    Sky sports complete pack £4
    Sky cinema £10
    Sky sports HD £2
    Sky HD £3

    Important thing for me was the total - and being able to remove cinema throughout summer so it suits me that is the most expensive bit ;)

    This is super helpful thank you!

    how did you manage to get down to these figures? Were you offered them in the chat when cancelling or was it after? I’d be over the moon to get this plus say multiroom for £10

    Never managed to get anywhere near that good a deal !! Sky Sports at £4 ? Don't think I've even seen that good a price- must have got an agent on a very good day !
