I've just been offered the following on online chat:
Signature is normally £36.50, but you'll pay £23.50 (with an 18-month contract) This offer is for 18 months
Sky Sports in HD is normally £20, but you'll pay £19 This offer is for 18 months
Sky HD is normally £9, but you'll pay £5 This offer is for 18 months
Ultra HD is normally £4, but you'll pay £1 This offer is for 18 months
Boost to Netflix Premium with No Ads is normally £15.50, but you'll pay £11.50. This offer is for 18 months
Total £60
Good deal or cancel? Been with them 15 years. Only with them for F1 so justifying the cost is getting harder and harder every year0 -

If SKY are switching off loads of SD channels in 2024 then surely HD should be free?0

No, that was just through chat. It best to now ask for cancellation then ask again in a couple of weeks?Grav15 said:

Yes. You should find signature will drop to around £20.50. U want to aim to get HD for £0. In a few weeks. Good offer with the Netflix. Some advisors will quote £15.50. Don’t accept and chat to a different advisor later or through messenger0

Hey guys!
looking for a little bit of advice! I have Sky Q - the basic package, no extras. We also have one multi room and the basic broadband package. We currently pay £59 but this is going up in May to £80! I refuse to pay this amount. I phoned up to see if I can get it cheaper, but they offered around £75, which is still pricey!
What can I reasonably expect guys to be a good offer? I just want what I receive currently, but obviously, not to be charged this amount
. As a side note, we do currently pay £17.99 for Netflix a month separately for sky.0 -
Also guys, on the phone, I did try to cancel (I got a little annoyed!) but she said I can’t cancel until 31 days and gave me a date - but surely if I give 31 days or more notice it should be ok?0

What is the cost breakdown of your package?0
-
I have had no good offers with broadband. £30 ultra fast 145mbs. Have now switched to Vodafone. £30 200mbs. Have seen talktalk offering 150mbs for £26. Worth considering switching0

Does anyone know if I remove HD, not worth anywhere near £9, will I still have access to BBC1 HD?0
