My contract ended 18th April and received package to return box today, states must be returned by 16/06/24.  just wondering if this is standard practice ? Was hoping to get Signature for cheaper than £23 they were offering.

Many thanks for the above link.  Have gone with Essentials for £5 for 12 months and no set up fee.  Very happy with that.

£5 per month for Essentials - is that available without having Sky broadband and for the older Sky HD boxes, not Sky Q ?

I don’t have broadband but have a Sky Q box.  They wanted to charge £15 for it first but I said I wasn’t happy to pay that as I knew that it was being offered for £5.  Also waivered the £10 one off fee they initially wanted to charge.

Thanks for the info. It's a great price as I have previously paid £10 per month for activating the recording facility and Freeview only channels. 
 Did they contact you after your contract had expired as that's when they  come up with the best offers.

They had sent me the packaging to send box back as contract finished last week.  Best offer before that was about £23 for Signature package.  I used the link that Grav15 posted for online chat.

To Grav15 for the hd to go to £0 was that 2 weeks after giving notice to cancel or 2 weeks after disconnected.

Just had the dreaded email stating that Signature is going up £2.50 and Ultrafast 150Mbps BB by another £3.00 a month from the July payment. I'm going to try the 'friends & family' route as I know someone whose partner works at Sky as the price has got ridiculous now and the BB at least has a get out clause due to the rise.

Struck a deal for:

Signature £22.50 
Sky Sports in HD £14 
Sky Cinema £10 
Sky HD £5

£51.50 total, they would not budge on the £20 admin fee for heaven or earth.
