I get this - as if they are doing me a big favour ... and I'm a 22 year VIP customer.

I note you do not have sky cinema so maybe they are kind of giving me a good deal.

By the way, I have been a customer since I believe they very first started, around 30 year ago!

They tend to do a movies and sports discount, or at least used to a few months ago,  best to have both or ask the price for both.  May surprise you. Be less than the £27 for sports quoted above…

I am paying £58.50 for all of the above except Sky Cinema. Hope it helps.

So really what they have quoted me (£76) is not too far out which is good to know, thanks

Following on with my retention deal success - which I'm happy with.  I'm now looking to add TNT Sports onto my subscription.  Cheapest I've seen is £28 / £30 per month but does anyone know any tips to get TNT for cheaper? Thanks

Similar story here when my contract finished and my bill shot up to the usual non-contract price of £112. 
I pretty much have everything - HD, UHD, Cinema, Sport, Signature, Multiroom, Netflix. 

First offer was around £86 and no matter how many times I went back into chat this didn't improve. 
Gave notice - not one called during this period. 

Went back to online chat the day before my services were getting turned off and no improvement. 
Got cut off, waited a day (they sent out all the return packaging), and after 2 days without Sky I went onto the review my options page and onto the live chat. 

Got all the above my same package for £61, with the first 3 months at £52.50. Wouldn't waiver the £10 admin but they chucked in another minibox. Was offered a cheaper deal with Netflix basic, but didn't want the ads so settled on this. 

Pricing for each element slightly different than above but comes in roughly the same amount. So if you don't get a good deal the first time around, have the b@lls to get switched off!

PS All your recordings stay on the box so they were all there when the service was switched back on over the phone.

Has anyone else received an email from sky to say that they’ve noticed they are coming to the end of their deal and they have extended them for 12 months with no new contract?
