SKY TV package, Is this a good deal?

Muran

Hi

We want to go back to Sky (been out of contract for 2 years, but was always happy with the service).

Superfast BB, line rental, TV Entertainment package + extra Q Mini box - £53
Mobile sims x 4 (12gb) - £48 in total
Installation - £20

£30 credit off of first bill.

Standard monthly total: £101

This covers all our needs, happy to go with Sky 02 sims.

Don't like Virgin as overpriced and bad customer services, we like Sky for the easy TV guide etc.. and have always had a good deal in the past with them.

Currently pay £87 for BT BB, Sims, Freeview, Now TV and Netflix, but the TV guide/recording on Freeview system is so antiquated and slow and driving us mad.

Box costs and installation !!!!!!!! would be a no from me. You decide what you want.

Thanks, I do like a haggle but only when I'm currently with a supplier. How do I haggle as a new customer?

I did ask if that's the best deal, I'll be checking other suppliers etc..

I'm expecting them to call on Friday to go ahead, should I hold out, umm and aah and hope they will reduce the price?

Seek out Sky new customer deals and sign up with those, you can then usually add the mobile and whatever else on afterwards. You can sometimes find deals on the Sky website or through some comparison sites or those websites that post "hot deals" all over the place.

Sometimes you can poke around for the deals, call up and say <somebody else> is doing <everything but the kitchen sink> for <price>, what can you do me as a new customer? But make sure what you find is genuine because they'll know what the competition is doing.

You can also use what the cashback sites are offering as a further lever to bring the price down.

For instance Topcashback are currently offering ' SIM Only 12GB plan SIMO - 12GB for £12 - Unlimited streaming for Sky TV customers + Unlimited Calls & Texts Exclusive Offer £40.00'

And that is only for one of your 4 sims!

I haven't had a look at what they are offering for BB and TV.
