Sky plus £49 for existing customers

luckstar69

I tried all this 2 nights ago, I said I needed to cancel as work nights and can't afford to pay for Sky plus (true story) they came back with, sky plus for £50 plus fitting for £60. I said no and actaully gave my 30 day notice to cancel. The lady was nice but could not help any further. It was the Scottish call centre I spoke to.

That was it! I'll be leaving sky in 28 days!!

Mum mum has been with them for 2 years on a basic £16 package.

Phoned the 01506 number to cancel ( said that gas bill is going up 35% per month ) and was passed thru to Scottish callcentre.

Free sky+ and install on 05/08/2008:j

Thanks for the heads up.

sorry if this is somewhat of a sidetrack.

I have been with sky for about 10months now on their £35/month package.
we just got a letter saying this would be increasing to £40 effective immediately.

It isnt a huge amount but was wondering if I can ring up and cancel due to change in price before my 12month contract is up then re-subscribe (through flatmates name if necessary) to get free sky+ box and better deals that seem to be on at the moment?

I didn't have to haggle or mention Virgin at all, Bloke said he was away to check with his manager to try and help.I'm on the 22 quid package.

Hope this helps and good luck

Just been onto a lady from sky for ages from cancellations.........the lowest she would go was £109!!! So I said no thanks I'll think about it and I'll try and be brave and ring back later!

just got off phone using 01506 421884 - said worked shifts so not watching it so can't justify cost and got Sky+ and install free - they're installing next week.
This is the third time Ive tried (tried before in December and April) so really pleased:j

hi just wondering, but does it matter how far through the contract you are to try canceling, i.e. do you have to wait for your first 12 months to be up before you can try it..

Cheers..
