    I don't mind My Sky still being available, as that is where last time's good deals appeared.


    This time,after over a month,no letters,emails or personal leaflets and the page stays at 30% off which someone refusing 50% is unlikely to accept.'My Offers' and 'left in the last 12 months' remains with the statement that no deal can be offered on line so call...(which I won't be doing)

    I suspect that when the post Xmas cancellation calls come in January,the deals will get better. They won't want to live with high levels of churn for too long!!:)

    Tragically I just cancelled after a 30% discount and their "exclusive offer" for me online is... 30% discount. The last phone call was no change in the discounts available either.

    Wonder if 30% is their current cap? Would seem strange but the recent news that they're rejigging all the packages next year is probably what's keeping the current discount figures down - time will tell.

    They had poor or no offers for line and broadband, after the 'beneficial' combination pricing came in, so they'll probably see if the new arrangement attracts or loses more, then act accordingly.

    I forgot to also say that they took another "Final payment" a month after the last "Final payment". I managed to get that back.

    I don't want anything more to do with Sky: I told them that, but they did not appear to believe it.
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.
