Anyone got the £35 Sky Deal advertised all over Facebook
for Essential TV, Sky Sports, Sky Atlantic, Netflix & Discovery for £35.
on a 24month contract.
Is this available on Sky Q ??   or is it just Stream and for new customers only.
I'm currently on a sky rolling 30 day contract for TV Essentials on SkyQ at £7 per month.
Do you think i could upgrade and get that price?

That’s a stream only price i think

Hi guys, asking for your advice as I'm relatively inexperienced haggling with Sky.

After several offers that I wasn't happy with, gave notice on Sky TV and at the end of the notice period called them. Ended up with the following deal which I've accepted for now:

Sky Signature TV plus Sky TV HD, with discounts £28.50
Plus Netflix no ads £10.99
Total TV as above £39.49

Full Fibre 150 £40

I want to keep the Q box for convenience, recording, ease of use etc...

1) Is the above a decent deal?

2) Given that Vodafone offers Full Fibre 150 for £26 (rising to £29 then £32) and EE for £29.99, should I switch to another broadband provider? Any downsides (e.g. compatibility with Q box, mesh Wi-Fi, decoupling from Sky TV package-wise etc)?

3) As I am in the 30 day cooling off period, do I just sign up with the new provider and they arrange the switch with Sky?

All advice appreciated!
Thank you.

Guaranteed that price won’t be the same for 24 months.

Don't think you get a cooling off period for a re-contract so by agreeing the price for the full fibre I think you are stuck with Sky.

I have to agree with brewerdave on this.

You could call them up and ask to change but re-contracting has no cooling off period unlike new contracts.
