Sky Tv To Cancel Or Not To Cancel

I've just phoned up sky to cancel, wasn't offered any deals:confused: ( already have a sky + box downstairs & multiroom upstairs) we normally subscribe to sports package & 6 choice package, we can't get free broadband in our area and I'm not interest in changing phone providers thought I might get a bit of a discount but the guy said 'no sorry aren't doing discounts any more':mad: and confirmed cancellation
Debating what to do, should I cancel the cancellation as I'll miss my sky + too much:eek: or should I hold out to see if they phone me with a deal ????
My financial circumstances are not too bad we can afford it but I would like it for less ( typical money saver )
HELP !!!
Busy mum of 3, so if my posts don't make sense or ask a silly question be patient:rotfl:

    I would hold out til the end of the cancellation period then telephone Sky to change your mind. You can, of course, just have the Sky+ function which costs £10 pm

    I'm confused - do you want to cancel or were you just hoping they'd offer you a discount for the hell of it?

    i left sky for 12 months and they kept on hassling me, the only reason i went back to sky was i was getting the broadband, im still only on the basic package.

    I get all my other things like sport and films from abroad on a slightly bigger motorised system which doesnt cost me anything.

    If you think you are going to miss sky plus there are many freeview pvr's with twin tuners that are similar to sky+.

    Saying that you will be able to rejoin Sky at anytime so go through with the cancellation and wait.

    That probably wont work, they link the accounts by phone numbers - already checked that route myself
