    No. The 2nd person said he could not get anywhere near and said I have found a really good deal. (NowTV £20)

    The first person could only do a close deal for 6 months

    Sky couldn't get close to my NowTV deal until after I'd initiated the switch and even then it was £3 more (on a call about something else). They kept quoting £30 to me when I phoned them although I did tell them to not phone me with offers.

    Yeah I think they offered £23 for 6 months.

    When I heard the words, normally they would start a 12 month contract, but my line manager says he will adjust the date to be a 6 month contract I was weary. Having done many deals with vm in the past I knew how this would go. Them not doing this and me phoning up about 3 more times!
    Plus the NowTV deal was ending in 2 days + I can't be bothered to renegotiate my BB in 6 month increments!
