@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 £46.500 -
paying £41.50 for signature , HD and multiroom, what sort of figure should i be looking at , thank you0

4.00 off multiscreen for 12 months
3.00 off Sky Sports for 12 months
If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.0 -
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.MouldyOldDough said:PendeLun said:@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.

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 ziltchI have a few questions though1. 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 ?
