What were the 'bad' offers you were given? I have tried Live Chat 3 times now and have got absolutely nowhere this time around. Only interested in TV but the best I have been offered so far is double yours!mits999 said:I got

I phoned them not live chat but I did have broadband and landline which they renewed I think the advisors get commission on the tv + broadband and landline so more eager to give a bigger discount
The commission structure for the advisor for renewing tv only I’m sure is quite low so less favourable to give a big discount0 -
I've only used chat the last couple of times I've renegotiated so maybe I'll try calling this time, as I am getting nowhere on chat. Is it a UK call centre for retentions/win-back?mits999 said:I phoned them not live chat but I did have broadband and landline which they renewed I think the advisors get commission on the tv + broadband and landline so more eager to give a bigger discount

Been overpaying as stupidly didn't do the whole cancel and get a good offer last time - was on £63 for signature/kids/ultimate/hd/uhd/multiroom. Cancelled via live chat yesterday and got offered same package but at £49 for 18 months - seen similar for cheaper so confirmed I wanted to cancel. Will feedback what I get offered
