    Hi Folks,

    Just about to get sky for the first time in our new property. What new customer offers should i expect and whats the best way to get a deal??

    I'm looking for Sky Q, Entertainment, Box sets, Mulitroom. I've seen on their website £31 a month but is this good? Doesn't look it considering what some of you guys are getting but then again i dont have the negotiation power of threatening to leave.

    Thanks in advance

    3 days now since I gave my 31 day cancellation and still received no offers in the sky.com/mydeal, they're calling my bluff to leave lol?

    I just posted this in the "Sky Retentions Deals" thread so pretty much the same deals knocking around. Cant have SkyQ (In an unsupported block of flats) but will wait with interest for the Cable delivered SkyQ thats coming ?

    Well, my 12 month contract is over (Sky+ box, Entertainment, Box Sets and HD for £20)
    I went on Messenger to the help desk and got offered the same for £21 per month for 18 months ...........
    I tried to get them to add a SIM only contract to make a bundle but they ignored it ....Didn't even mention it in fact...
    Cancelled contract as I've done before and will keep people informed of what happens

    Gonna wait it out for a while longer and have a phone conversation nearer the end day !

    Today I got :
    Entertainment £15
    Boxsets & HD £1 each
    for 18 months.
    Tried to charge me £10 admin but convinced him that it should be free because of the extra 6 months.

    Just spent the best part of an hour on chat, told him I would like to cancel as it was getting too expensive. Currently pay £30 for Entertainment, Box Sets, HD and Multiscreen which is increasing to £50 next month. Mentioned we did not use the Multiscreen and didn`t need it anymore.

    Was given all the spiel to let him give me a deal to stay, which started at £37 for 18m (he included the multiscreen) then £24 with no multiscreen.
    This was then reduced to £33 for 18 months and if he took off box sets it would be £30.50! all offers were plus £10 admin fee. Then we got cut off! So its not been cancelled.

    I was hoping for £15 ent, £1 box sets, £1 HD. Please could I ask those of you who have received a really good offer, did you cancel over the phone or by chat? as I now need to have another go.

    Thank you

    Makes no difference how you cancel, by the sounds of it you won't be at the moment so you'll definitely need to contact them again.

    I appreciate he hasn`t cancelled my tv package, he was more bothered at providing me with offers for something I didn`t want. He even thought it would be helpful for me if he tried to sync my BB and phone together (even though BB and phone offers don`t run out for another month or so) I`m going to ring them to cancel and then hope than an offer appears like it did last year.
