    So, we gave Sky notice last month and have been without their TV services for the past week. They offered all singing & dancing package for £83.50, but we said no. Various online chats with no success.

    Tonight we got offered on a telephone call the following:-
    Signature £17
    Kids £0 for 2 months, then £7
    Cinema £5
    Sports HD £2
    Sports Complete £6
    Multiscreen £5
    Credit to bill £50

    Total £35 for 24 months (if we don't want Sky Kids) with a guarantee of a maximum increase of 10% over that period. (This also includes Netflix with Ads as standard)

    Nice result and a huge saving!

    Is that for Sky Q?
  • I’ve decided that after 26 years I’ve had enough of Sky, no matter the price. I have Sky until the end of the month but now have a Freesat replacement ready to switch on.

    Wow, that's cheap!  I'm paying more than that without sports and cinema.

    Has anyone had any joy getting existing customer deals for Sky Stream or Broadband?

    It feels as if they are actually happy to jettison anyone who does not wish to pay 'full' price.

    What 'new switching service'?
  • Just a heads up that I logged into my account tonight and had an offer for Stream of £15 pm with a 24 month contract. £18 on a 31 day deal.

    i had Stream and cancelled after a month so probably a win back deal?

    Astonishingly good deal - back to the days when 75% discounts were relatively commonplace - the apparently random nature of the offers ! My s-i-l has recently cancelled and hasn't been offered anything like as good.
    In fact he has decided to go to EE/BT for everything
    I've only just reached the end of an 18 month Sky deal, which is taken out mostly for the sport. How does your s-i-l think they compare, I don't know anything about EE/BT?
    He has moved everything away from Sky including his full fibre broadband. The price he has got from EE INCLUDING broadband is less than Sky's best offer for the TV packages only. Also he has managed to get deals from EE on mobile SIMs for the family.
