Sky Loophole!! TV, broadband and phone for £6/mth

mircea

Hi everyone

I have been trying for ages to get this sky deal and I opened a chat window on sky website to check with their customer service. This is what he told me:

Ian: The reason why this will not go through is the £150 cashback has been blocked by sky as the cashback is not a real deal
Ian: The order can be done still but the cash back will not be a offer sky can give
Ian: Is this ok still?
Does not look very promising!

Gave up and went for talk talk phone/broadband, got £48 in my quidco a/c within 24 hours. My kids watch too much tv anyway!

It's great to have these cheap TV sites, but I don't want 100 channels beamed into my flat. I'm resisting cable and satellite for as long as I can - as I know my legs will atrophy soon enough!

The link has been down since wednesday afternoon. I have been trying for ages. Get completely fed up now.

I spoke to customer services on Sunday and they told me if the link was on Topcashback then it would pay out,or they would take the link off the site(Topcashback),I would presume the same for all cashback sites.

Thought I'd give this offer a go but when i clicked through from Quidco and tried signing up to Sky I get this message.

We are unable to offer Sky Broadband, as BT's database registers this telephone number as disconnected. You will need an active BT phone line in order to get Sky Broadband.

My line rental/broadband is currently with Talktalk. Ex BT.

Anyone got any ideas, or managed to switch to Sky from Talktalk.

If I phoned them to switch, then I'd probably lose the Quidco cashback. :mad:

Sky website has this in FAQ's

Do I need a BT telephone line?

You need a BT compatible telephone line to use Sky broadband, you do not have to be a BT customer. We check this when you order. If you are moving from a different telephone company or have recently moved to a new house, you need to be the registered owner of that telephone line. We suggest you wait 24 hours after your telephone line has been activated before signing up for Sky Broadband.

Are there any tips anyone can give to haggle with them. I got though to India and I was wondering if I got though to Scotland I may do better, is there a time of day when my chances of getting though there is more likely?

I spoke to sky at the end of a month to cancel and was told that they had a monthly "budget" which they could use up to pacify customers. I ended up with free phone calls for a year (01 and 02 no.s only) if I changed my line to sky (cheaper than BT) and SKY+ for £50. But got £30 credited to my account. Meaning it was only really £20.:j

I think this could be risky though, as if they have already pacified alot of customers then that budget will be spent. You just have to keep trying.

Incidently my phone bill had a £5.00 call to sky on it, (08704 no.) so it does take some time. Worth trying though.

If you just want broadband, its still cheaper to go with cable, if you can get it. Cashback sites apply too.

Which cable one's are cheaper?

Also can I ask a really stupid question with sky do you have to have a satellite dish? And if you do do they dismantle this for free when you end your contract after 12 months?

Many thanks

Yes you do (for Sky TV)

No they don't

Many thanks
