I was on mysky today and i noticed a window/panel in my account about my contract ending soon and to check what my options are or something like that.
I clicked on where it showed review my options but the web page kept going back to where i started from and at bottom left of the page i saw sky.com and then login in but it was going in a loop and nothing appeared.

I tried another bowser and that was the same.

I have 6 weeks left on min term.

Is this just a glitch for me or has this happened to any other sky customers?

I kept trying to see the offer on my pc but still the same result.

I got a new phone a few days ago and was transferring things over from the old mobile and i had the mysky app on there.

I opened up the mysky app and there was the "offer" part so i went into it to the great offer was(drumroll please) a massive £16 reduction on the £106 cost when my min term contract ends.

I will have to have a long hard think about this offer.

I'd be very suspicious about a reduced price offer without a minimum term.

I would have thought that’s a good opening offer, you keep what you had for £6pm less.  Let’s see what happens, you may save another couple of quid..

Phone call yesterday, no query or offer to make me want to stay, they were just happy to accept the Sky cancellation.  So I guess it is goodbye Sky from 31st May.  Or will I get another call from another department making an offer? Just hope my Freeview box arrives this time.  Local shops don’t seem to have them in stock, even John Lewis needs to order them in to my local store.

Update:-
Box has arrived, set up.  I was happy enough and knew Sky Atlantic and Sky history would be gone but no Alibi either, I did not realise that was just a Sky channel.  So hope they do phone and offer a deal.  Sky is easier to record and see what is on or past for catch up.  Recorded a couple of things last night but unlike with Sky, that turns red, I could not see at the time if the recording was recording, it did.
