To stay or leave Sky

Hi. As above. Im at the end of my minimum term so have some the usual leverage if I choose to leave.  Sky have kept my plan going forward on the same offer Im on now. 

Just wondering if I do my usual and tell them to cancel if they cant give me a cheaper deal then will i end up worse off? Its a hard one.  Also has anyone else had their existing offer price extended beyond the end of their minimum term? Its the first ive encountered it.

Any advice and help is much appreciated.

    What channels do you watch?
    If they're all or mostly on Freeview you don't need Sky.

    Have you had this extended deal in writing ??
    Sky have a habit of " offering" an extended deal at the end of a min. term - but in my experience anyway, the discounts have been reduced and are only for 12 months -  hadn't heard of someone getting their existing deal extended ad nauseam - altho' in the past, I've seen posters claim that the discounts have continued for a few months over until Sky realised !
    Unless your existing deal is not very good ,a post-cancellation deal is unlikely to be any better than current.

    Yes, no, maybe.

    Sky are all over the place at the moment so it's impossible to say, they could try something else next week to try and retain customers.

    Is your current deal acceptable to you for a (presumably) rolling monthly deal for 12 months? If so, then stick with it, you'll be on 30 days cancellation notice if anything changes.
