Sky+ for existing customers

Itchy_Niagras

I am an existing Sky subscriber of many years, who resents being asked to pay a higher price for the purchase of a Sky+ box than a new customer.

Is it possible for me to get it for less than £149.00 + £30.00 without having to take broadband, telephone, multiroom and Uncle Tom Cobbly and all?:mad:

I'm sure it is an excellent product, but my financial means are somewhat limited at present, so advice would be much appreciated.

I was on the phone to sky telesales for 30 minutes yesterday trying to do exactly the same, I even mentioned closing my account and moving to Virgin TV, I got nowhere with them.

A friend of mine cancelled his account last January and in July Sky offered him free Sky+ and half price full package for 6 months!

Try Currys - we got ours for £59 without buying a new TV.

Are you married, has your o/h had an account?

You can close the account in your name & open one in hers as a new customer

Infuriating isn't it!:mad:

It's not as though I'm expecting preferential treatment, just fair treatment. In this case, 'fair' would be to charge the same price as they do to a new customer.

I suppose I could try that one, but it is a lot of hassle just to save maybe fifty quid.

Cannot see anything online to this effect. I suppose I could ring the local store and see what they have to say.:think:
