    Rang 0333 759 4454 and spoke to friendly, helpful lady, Sue.
    I had Sky HD box but have moved to Sky Q 1TB box with
    Signature
    Full Sports
    Ultimate (Netflix)
    No charge for new box, LNB and engineer visit.
    £10 Admin charge waived (given as credit on account) 
    For £33 per month on 18 month contract.
    Happy with that.

    Are you getting Signature in HD included in that price ??
  • We cancelled a couple of weeks ago now, had no luck in getting a good deal. Cheapest I could get was £80/82 a month for Signature, Ultimate, Multi Room, HD + UHD & Ultrafast Plus. Been with them for 7 years.

    Fortunately I can sign up as a new customer with friends and family discount as it's always been in my partners name which brings all of the above down to £72.30.

    Anyone else had the SKY broadband text you finish in five days but if you don't sign up in the next 48 hrs we cannot guarantee your service.  Nothing like ramping up the pressure ;)
    Yes got that dreaded text yesterday!   Turning the screw!!
    Can't believe they haven't phoned me yet with a comeback offer.
    I do this every 18 months, usually end up getting a good deal, but this time nothing!!
    Maybe they don't care anymore.

    Still waiting for the phone to ring as well.  Two days to go so holding firm and would like to know the best deals for the full SKY package and Ultrafast broadband people have negotiated recently.  Could always go down the new customer route using my partner's details but reluctant to throw 16+ years credit away.
  • I've just accepted the offer they made as it's not changing after many Chats. £82 for everything.... Signature, sports, cinema, multi screen, HD, Uhd, ultimate TV, kids, superfast bb...

    Just got letter through post with an offer and panicked as thought it was better but it's the same I agreed to. Managed to get the admin fee removed too. Know I could have got better but couldn't be bothered with the admin anymore!

    I had the text 24hrs before switch off, called the number and spoke with a lovely guy who went through my account and ended up with full package, sports, movies multiform etc for £50..was happy with that price so accepted.
  • I'm due for a negotiation, my rates went up recently, will report back if I have some luck haggling them down!
