I've Cancelled my Sky TV & Broadband today to try and get a better deal from them!
Fingers Crossed! It's worked in the past. But not sure on their policies these days?
Really don't want to leave Sky, I like the Sky Q box!
The best they could offer me was £94 per month for 18 month contract.
That was for all Sky Sports & BT Sport in HD, HD Pack, SkyQ Box & the usual Sky Channels + Basic Fibre Broadband (25mbps download where i am, rural village)
So No Netflix, No Sky Movies. No Kids Channels, No UHD, No Multiroom!
What's the best i can expect for those options?
So Now Here, Waiting for Sky to Call with an Amazing Offer !!
or don't hold my breath!1 -
Best offer was £38 so let it run out but kept superfast BB for £22 got Roku instead for £30joebob said:
I was offered same deal for £38 turned it down. Had 3 missed calls from sky hoping to catch one and see what they offer.Sia267 said:Cancelled over a week ago now. I received a text message sending me to a live chat - couldn't get through to anyone on the live chat so rang the number provided and not having much luck. I've been offered £16 for signature tv and £28 for superfast broadband.
Has anyone had much luck recently? I've been paying £41 for bb and TV, up until now.0 -
I also just cancelled and got Roku. Will save £204 a year will spend some of it on buying the very few sky shows I actually watch through now or other providers.0

Spoke to Sky yesterday. They gave me a pretty poor offer.
I'm currently paying £77 per month on the old packages. Was hoping for £35 ish.Sky offered £52 per month-------------------Sky Signature - £23HD - £6Cinema - £9Multiscreen - £14
It always makes me laugh how they go through the long winded process of listing the discount they're giving you on each service. Just give me the price!0 -
Cancelled on xmas eve, sky playing hard ball with my offers, so have ditched them.
Realised i was watching predominantly BBC, ITV channel 4 and 5 plus yesterday, all free and Netflix and Amazon.
They all have fantastic apps to stream any catch ups, do not miss it all , you only realise this after its gone.
Lots of my friends all cancelling with such an array of apps to stream , many free

Last time I tried to remove cinema I was told my sky Sports would shoot up in price, I have a similar package to you so be careful.Cocks3 said: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
