    @MouldyOldDough I recontracted last week - same vip tier as yourself. prior to recontracting started off at £53 for full tv plus Netflix premium, went up to 66 than 78.50pm. Removed Netflix and UHD which brought it down to £52.50 for 
    Signature
    Sports - inc sports hd
    HD 
    Multiscreen. 
    I have now removed HD as its a rolling monthly contract not 18 month so can use Sky Vip app to get it free 0-4 months dependent on tier - think we both should be able to get it for 4 months as we are diamond tier now. 
    next bill will be £46.50

    Definitely 12 months and not 18 (which is normal for Sky)? If so then you'll lose the discount partway through and have no leverage.

    I've had another "Please come back" offer in the post; still the same £22/month for Stream with in-contract rises; maybe they think they'll beat me into submission.

    Sky have not offered me a decent deal (£75.50 for Sport + signature on Q with second box) - I am now looking elsewhere and think that NOW TV may be cheaper. 22 years of being a paying customer counts for ziltch
    I have a few questions though
    1. Does NOW allow me to run 2 * Adapters on the same account (living room and bedroom)
    2. I am used to recording - will I be able to receive and stream every channel that I can receive and record on Signature ?
    3.Anything else that I may have forgotten ?

    I have been with sky for 17 years and my price had steadily risen paying £86 for mutli room, sports, movies HD uhd, kids and Netflix premium and due to increase to over 130 next month

    Phoned up and offered the above for £84 with a Netflix downgrade. They were more bothered about trying to sell me broadband.

    Put the cancellation in and recieved the following email

    Signature sports and movies £47.50
    HD uhd £6
    Kids £3
    Multi room £10
    Ultimate tv £4.50

    Is this likely to improve if it disconnects?

    I can't understand how they can offer "stream" at a lower price than Q - When the customer already has a Q box up and working ?
