  • I find it weird that the level of each discount within a package varies from person to person

    Netflix premium £7
    SKY sports £7
    Sports HD £2
    TNT sports £27
    TNT HD £0
    SKY Cinema £13
    SKY HD £4

    Disney+ £10.99
    Ultra HD £1
    See it first £0

    About £30 for a basic service with just Signature and multiroom.

    £28.50 is a nice round number for just a single box

    If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

    I have managed £26.50, so looks like a good deal.. Until April at least.
  • Any idea on how long the winback lot try to get in touch with you? I’ve had the text messages to call them but no one’s got in touch begging me to comeback. 

    Cancelled it all but waiting on that potential winback call before I head on to NowTV to sign up for a contract for sports.

    Fifth Anniversary First Post
    About a week after we got cut off, I still hadn't heard anything from them so called up and eventually agreed to £64.50/month for 24 months for:

    Signature, HD, UHD, Cinema, Sports and Netflix Premium.

    But when I look at my future bills, December onwards show an extra £7 discount valid for 12 months (till Oct 2025). Not sure if this will get removed at some point.

    Total bill statement
    £57.50


    They also agreed to no admin fee plus a £30 statement credit (which I can see has been applied to my Oct + Nov combined bill).
  • Thanks, I’ll hold off for a week and then see what I get from them 
  • I left in April 2024 after being a customer for 25 years. After 3 attempts by me of contacting them to reduce the price, I cancelled. They were only prepared to reduce my monthly bill by about £2 a month and wouldn’t budge on the administration charge. I was paying £65 a month for multiroom, signature with Netflix and HD. They wouldn’t do a deal on sports channels either. Have my notice and returned Sky Q boxes and not heard anything from them since, even with an invitation to “ Come back”.

    Like you I’ve been with Sky since the 90s. My contract ends tomorrow and they have made no attempt to keep me. I’m not sorry to go.
