    You should have flat out refused to pay the £10, they would have backed down without a doubt.


    Indeed. I would think in this day and age of Netflix etc sky would be desperate for customers lol !!!128514;

    I have sky hd on 60% discount till next year.
    Am currentky paying £15.20 for entertainment kids boxset + hd. Was calling up for sky sports.

    They offered me this on live chat.

    I can offer you the entertainment package with sports, HD & kids for £41 a month. If you'd like cinema it'd rise to £51 a month. Then in regards to SkyQ I can offer you the 1TB box for just £20 instead of £199+!

    Was this any good or did i do right in refusing?

    If they're offering you UL fibre for around £20 grab it, you're not getting better off them.


    £23.49 for basic line rental and fibre unlimited 40mb

    Yeah I should have, but i was under a bit of pressure from the missus to reduce our sky bill , & wanted me to cancel the Sky sports package. She was happy with a £30 PM saving. (and I got to keep the sport):)

    This £10 charge annoys the hell out of me.

    It's like a restaurant adding a service charge to your bill so you're paying the waiters wages instead of it being their paid job.

    If they deal with 3 customers an hour it's a nice little earner.

    Just called love digital and the best they will do is £27 for sports plus entertainment and kids all in HD. Free installation of sky Q and for 18 months.

    Very tempted. Or should I save my money :)

    Your thinking about £27 a month, i would jumped all over that over that. I have been without Sky for 12 months and the cheapest they have offered is £34 a month for Sports on old sky hd box and £36 for Q box.

    I have sinced gone down the Now TV route season sports pass for £179 and Entertainment for £38 a year. Not ideal, much prefer the satellite feed than streaming.
