    Currently, you are paying £78.50 per month, but this will increase to £96.50 once the offers expire. To help manage your costs, we have the following new offers available:

    - £8 off Sky Signature, bringing it to £32.50 per month.
    - £7 off Complete Sky Sports, bringing it to £27 per month.
    - £1 off Multiscreen, bringing it to £14 per month.
    - Your current offer of £2 off HD will remain, at £7 per month.

    With these new offers, your total monthly cost would be £80.50. These offers are available for 24 months and come with a new 24-month minimum term. Please note there is a one-off £10 admin fee, which will be automatically applied to your next bill should you choose to accept.



    Sports for £20 for 24m has been on the website for months for me (even though I was subscribed), and offered straight away on my chats. Can you get them to drop that down? Or check the website can you just drop it and sign back up again via the website deal??

    Hand in your 31 days notice and make no attempt to contact them during that time, once the service has gone off for a hour phone them up, you won’t lose any recordings etc doing this, you should be paying around £55 give or take for that package.

    as someone else said above, phone up the retentions department and give them your 31 days cancellation notice and wait for your services to cancel/switch off, to compare im paying £49.50 for the same things you listed above, im a 22 year diamond level VIP however so you maybe wont get it that cheap but certainly will be able to get it a lot lower than £80.50, good luck

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

    What is the breakdown cost of your package?
    Sky Signature £12
    Netflix Premium £8
    Sky Sports £20
    TNT Sports £20
    Sky Cinema £6
    HD £6
    Ultra HD £4
    Multiroom £8
    Kids £1

    Total £85

    Gigabit broadband £35

    Total £120

    This was done over the phone, I dialled 150 from my Sky mobile and asked for the win back team to the automated system but got put through to the diamond vip almost effectively concierge team who forwarded me on to the advisor who gave the deal, all were UK based thankfully, kids is only there because the advisor said it opens up more offers elsewhere, it’s the same with cinema it opens up more offers with Sky Sports, TNT was likely some kind of timing fluke as I never previously had any more than the standard £3 in contract discount going back to when Sky first offered it in the guise of BT Sport, the secret is you have to cancel and allow the service to go off, if only for a few hours, this deal was achieved just over 3 weeks ago, I advised £55 on the post you quoted because as backwards as it sounds as explained with Sky the more you have including broadband the more offers open up to the advisor.

    Great deal. Especially with signature. Did you call them the day after the contract ended or when the sky q box stopped working completely?

    It went off overnight and I called them at lunchtime.

    And just to add in case anyone misinterpreted, under no circumstances cancel your broadband to get a deal in the same manner as you’ll end up with no service for potentially weeks.
