    Phone up Sky and tell them you want the price you had before or you will leave. Usually works and saves you the hassle of switching.

    Tell them you want to leave as you can get effective £15 (after cash back) for up to 67mb/s from shell energy on topcashback.

    Hate having to do this every year for every contract I have ( waste or time and energy) when are they going to look after good reliable low maintenance customers 
    This site exists because of the adversarial nature of consumerism. It is the job of businesses to make as much profit from their customers as possible. It is your job to get the best deal possible. The best deal is almost never offered to people unwilling to put in any work to get it. Those same best deals wouldn't be available if it wasn't for the majority of apathetic customers who are willing to accept higher prices.

    When you go Supermarket shopping, do you negotiate the price of your basket of goods?

    I've bought damaged packaging to the attention of the check out assistants and they have offered me a discount, does that count?
