    Sky Signature,
    Ultra HD/HD/3D
    Ultimate TV Add on,
    Sky Kids,
    Multiscreen,
    Sky Sports - Complete Pack

    Was paying £55. 

    Best they could offer was £67. Told them to cancel it.

    Sky Signature - £20
    Ultra HD/HD/3D - £8
    Ultimate TV Add on - £6
    Sky Kids - £2
    Multiscreen, - £12
    Sky Sports - Complete Pack - £17 + £2 for HD Sports

    Tried offering me Essentials for £5 a month. (I get to keep the Sky Q box to pause/rewind/record etc) Essentials is basically Freeview

  • I'm interested to see what deals people are on for the following package. Been out of contract for a while and the advisor on the phone at the time of contract expiry said that the price I'm paying on a monthly rolling basis is cheaper than it would be to renew on an 18 month Contract. Currently paying:

    Sky Signature £22 (Discounted from £32)
    Ultimate TV Add on £6
    Sky HD £6 (Discounted from £8)
    Multiscreen £8 (Discounted from £15)

    Total £42 per month (Discounted from £61)

    So we lasted just over a month before accepting a deal. £31 per month inc HD for 18 months for Signature and Sports. 

    Could please you advise how offered deal, over net/phone or called a number ?

    was offered this through live chat, 2 weeks after cancellation had gone through. Won't budge on multiscreen lower than £10 so didn't bother adding it

    Thanks for this. lowest I've been able to get them down to at the minute is £61. Mines as above but with Kids and multiscreen.

    Gives me a rough idea.
