moneysavingexpert.com posted this ten days back: We asked an MSE staff member who's a Sky TV customer, on a rolling contract but without Sky Sports, to test how much she could haggle the new channels for. The Sky customer service rep told us she didn't yet have the pricing for the new channels – but we were still able to negotiate the entire Sky Sports bundle as an add-on for less than £7, so it is possible to get a better price. So, it's all right if you don't currently have Sky Sports and want to get it and are prepared to haggle.
Was that cancelling by phone or through the web? Someone else on the forum talked about something like a 10% off deal cancelling through the website.
Phone The ones that try to stop you cancelling are a totally different ones to the ones after you've cancelled...they have the good deals!
It's frustrating tho , I spoke to the first person and said we both know when I cancel you are going to ring me and offer me loads off, so let's stop wasting each other's time and cut to the chase .... They assured me they didn't do that anymore , so I cancelled and surprise surprise 2 days later I got the call , I am one of the few people with sky still as I don't have a phone line or internet connection at home so by time I got one. Might as well pay sky
I get the full package with multiroom and pay £91 something I hardly sit and watch a full match though, I usually just record and fast forward
They can honestly say that they don't make high offers because they're a totally separate company that Sky use just to try and stop you cancelling. So they don't do that...but someone else will when you do cancel
I cancelled on Friday and then rang back today and said I'd like Sky+ back because I was missing that but didn't want Sky itself. I was offered £35 a month instead of the £71 I was paying before. I'm no longer getting the box sets, which I didn't know I was paying extra for, but anyway I think the only thing I ever watched on it was episode 1 of the Borgias.
Mate of mine buggered off travelling for several months Cancelled sky while he was away When he got back they offered him 75% off to come back! They're only offering me 60% off still (although maybe it's because it's the third time I've done it?) Bastards
