Haggle with Sky and price goes up

Just been on chat to haggle my Sky TV and Fibre, currently paying £52.50 (out of contract) - they offered me £58 !! Thought haggling made it cheaper!
If the world is a stage... I want better lighting!

    Split the two services - ie cancel the TV services - wait for a better offer -after all, it can be switched back on quickly even after cancellation goes thru' - don't cancel b/band - look for a new supplier for b/band and use that price to lever a better offer out of Sky.
