Thats what the woman said to me. It's all bollocks.

They're salespeople who get commision for signing you up for another 12 month contract. Of course they're gonna tell you a load of bollocks.

All the extras were half price, so could of got fiber for £10pm and sports for £8.50 IIRC. Thought it was pretty good with line rental, phone, HD package etc!?

35% off tv packages for 12 months. Not great, but it's a start.

Unfortunately freesat doesn't give you formula 1, the walking dead and game of thrones as far as i'm aware

Can you record on them? I work shifts so recording stuff is essential.

People say £xx on tv, screw that but some enjoy it. For me I watch lots of F1 and lots of football and you can't do this without a subscription (yes you could do card sharing etc) but you have to spend hundreds to get anywhere need the capability of SkyHD and Sky go)

Other people will spend £100 on a night out, even more on 1 night!

Looking into our spending at the moment as the mrs is looking to take a year off. £55 we are paying for a basic sky package, broadband and phone line.

We are going to need kids channels and where we live streaming is not an option.

Thinking of moving over to plus.net and doing card sharing. On top of that getting a decent user friendly freeview recorder for the wife (or i'll get ear ache). But by time I've spent the money on all this kit, it will take 2 years to cover my initial outlay.

Used to pay £50 for basic sky package with the lowest Internet when I had my flat
Got Virgin Media when moved into my house and now pay £35 a month with 100mb Internet and basic to package which gives a lot more than sky anyway, 11 or so hd channels

I'm not a big sports person but it was £50-£55 for the full package with Virgin and that was 150mb internet. But I don't watch tv enough to justify it

The best the call centre woman could offer was multiroom and boxsets extra but it would still be £86. Told her I wanted to cancel and it's all gone through now.

Will I get phone calls offering me cheaper packages to stop me leaving or do I now need to look at other providers? I don't particularly want to go back to the dark ages of not having broadband and watching freeview!

I've been with sky for 4 and a half years, most of the time paying over the odds because I hate calling people up yet they still care more about new customers, rather than loyal ones.

[Edited on 29-01-2015 by Ben G]




i had exactly the same deal and cancelled late last year because of broadband issues and paying £85 was ridiculous i thought.

and i was bombarded with phone calls from sky asking why i left. and it must have been the 5th or 6th phone call where i thought ill listen. and maybe by pure luck or the fact the sky employee wasnt a complete fucktard i was offered the same package i had previously cancelled for a 60% discount. so about £31 a month.

i must stress that this is only for a year and unless i call back before july 16th the bill will double to £62 then ill have to renegotiate new terms.

Just playing the game myself with Sky at the minute as £98.65 a month is ridiculous.

Down to £69.62 but had to concede Sky Movies as this is £16.50 a month alone. This was done by the advisor fairly quickly which makes me think they have more wiggle room?

Debating on carry through the cancellation and hope they can sharpen their offer...?
