Need help with Sky

2.5K Posts
My 18 month contract is ending on 19 November 2018 with Sky and I am seriously debating whether to quit (been with them since Dec 2012) as most of the TV I watch is on Freeview. The only thing I really want from Sky is the Sky Sports F1. Most of the time I watch YouTube or catchup TV through BBC iPlayer etc.
Also I really do not get why I have to pay line rental when I haven't made a phone call using the home phone in about six years.
I have been successful in the past negotiating some discounts when my contract ends but can only see myself staying with Sky if I can really nail a huge discount (50% - 60% off). Can anyone give some tips and stories on successfully getting big discounts, cheers.
Here is a breakdown of my bill:
--
TV
£48.40
--
Original
Including discounts
£18.49
Sky Sports - Complete Pack

£22.04
Sky Cinema

£7.87
--
Broadband & Talk
£33.99
--
Sky Talk Line Rental
£18.99
Sky Fibre Unlimited
Including discounts
£15.00
Total £82.39
