  • Was paying £27 for the following on old Sky+HD kit

    Sky Signature
    Sky HD
    Sky Cinema
    Sky Kids

    Sky wanted to charge me £29 for
    Signature £19
    HD £4
    Cinema £6

    or £34 if I want Sky Q with netflix

    Decided not to accept and have left Sky for now and looking at alternative options.

    It was signature and sports £33.
    No idea why only those?

    To make it up to what i currently have I'd have to add HD, UHD, and ultimate which would make total £44.
    I'm currently paying £51 and it was going to £62.
    Like I said it's so so, but looking at what others have achieved in hoping for a few more £££ off. Particularly as there will be price rises April.

    Never had virgin.
    It might be worth a call if offers don't improve with sky.
    Saying that, just had a text off sky giving a phone number and messaging with an
    " exclusive offer to come back to sky".
    I'll give it a try sometime tomorrow to see what they say.

    It's not too late to change your mind call 03337 594 840 or visit sky.com/reviewmyoptions to review your options
  • Does anyone know how long you’ve waited before Sky have offered you a deal? 

    I started my cancellation period about 10 days ago and I’ve heard nothing from them. 

    I had Sky signature with Ultimate add on, Sky sports, HD and UHD. Was paying £52 a month, they offered to keep at the same price straight away but I’ve always got a better deal after cancelling so thought I’d do the same again.
