  • Chatted a couple more times to online advisor. Best available is still £83 for all TV and superfast bb. One advisor said £92 was now best but was then offered £83. They aren't budging on that. Still too high based on what I have seen on here...

    I was warned that offers may disappear and next offer may be higher. Trying to scare me I think.

    £100 vouchers through MSE on fast broadband deals brings the price down a bit.  Have asked SKY and they will not match the £100 voucher.  Offer ends 27th January.

    Hi, looking to renew SKY, 16+ years.  Cancelled and have two weeks left as full SKY package with Sports and Movies etc plus Ultrafast broadband quoted as £90.  Any advice how much I should be looking to pay with a good deal please ;)
    £77 tops, I currently pay £47 for full tv everything and £29 for sky fibres, my broadband contract is up in may and i want it as close to £20 as possible or I am going to now tv so hopefully I will be paying no more than £70 all in
    You could get ultrafast BB for less than you are paying now with the £100 voucher if that helps

    Yes that doesn't sound as good as what I was offered on online chat. 

    Try this link for the chat

    This online chat never works, always says Busy!
    Any other online chats that deal with retentions ??
    Got 10 days left till i'm cut off!!
    £83 is the best offer so far for sky tv with sports, HD pack & BT Sports + fibre broadband.
  • Sky disconnected me 9 days ago, I have only had one message from them which was about returning my equipment and the returns box arrived this morning, I was paying £30 for the below package before my deal ended and the best offer I have received ( about a week after I gave my notice ) from them is:

    Sky Signature £16
    Ultimate TV £6
    Sky Sports £12
    Sky HD £3
    Sky UHD £2

    One-off admin charge £20

    Total £39

    I am assuming since they have sent me the box to return my equipment that I won't be getting any more offers?

    I had a chat today using the link - I ended up removing BT sport for now and will probably see if I can negotiate it into the deal in a couple of weeks/month when I negotiate the renewal for broadband as the new renewal price did not seem good. I have everything else - Sports, Cinema, Kids, Ultimate, Signature, UHD and HD for £44. 

    Sky Signature £18
    Ultimate TV £6
    Sky Sports £6
    Sky HD £3
    Sky UHD £1
    Cinema £11
    Sky Kids £1

    A week or two into cancellation and decided to give the chat a go today.
    Was paying £32 for the below package and after a lot of negotiating only managed to get them down to £42 for renewal so decided t cancel.
    After todays discussion I accepted £40. Stood firm on not paying the admin fee which was eventually reduced to £10 and then finally got the £10 credited back. 
    Happy with final price, think if I had broadband I`d have more bargaining power.
