Sky has more football in UHD than BT and BT's UHD comes down the broadband so you need infinity. Sky also has cricket this summer along with F1 and more movies in UHD.

I work for BT so I already have infinity broadband

I know SKY have more UHD content across many sports but I focus on Football mainly. Anyway this is what I told SKY. I'd only leave if they increased my bill for something I already have.

I know advisors will be able to have certain movements as I do at work... just finding the right advisor I guess.

might be worth waiting - new deeper discount ?

yesterday r4 was saying falling football gates due to prices and bad match times contributed to less of an atmosphere and falling viewing figures.

Completely forgot my deal ran out 2 months and I've been paying £92 a month! Time to cancel.

xraycat87 · 4 Jul 2017 at 15:30

Bit annoyed they've offered me a deal not to cancel which is £59/month for the complete bundle, sky q multiroom , the 2tb box and no install cost.. she's calling back at 6.

Got a f&f code so I could get complete for £40 and £12 for multiroom, however a £100 install :/

Kol · 4 Jul 2017 at 15:38

Why are you annoyed? Over 12 months they're almost identical. I don't get why you aren't happy with any of the deals coming up.

The first is £59/month, the second is £52/month (including the install at £100 that's effectively £8/month) total of £60.

Your existing customer deal is mildly better and no upfront.

Just a personal hate, I don't like anything to be over £50 a month other then mortgage and council tax ha.

I cancelled today. I had been on a 50% deal on the sports/movies/HD for the first year. Last September had a renegotiation to put it up to £43 for 10 months and then back to full for last two month but to call them. Did so today but was only offered 40% off for a 18 month contract. So going in the wrong direction on both counts. Realistically even at £43 was to much for how much we use it. Even my daughter is generally on you tube or amazon video

xraycat87 · 4 Jul 2017 at 19:33

Chose to reject the deal as it's 18 months and the reduced rate was only 12 months..

Cancelled on Monday after being told the best deal they could do was 40% off on an 18 month contract.

Literally 2 days later and I already have the 50% offer. I dont know whether to take it and be done with it or wait it out to see if I can squeak an extra 10% out of them.

Anyone got the 60% lately?

I'd aim for more than 60%, my current deal had a lot of front loaded credit as well. Having said that, all i can see in my accounts is the standard 60%;

ArchAnGeL · 5 Jul 2017 at 15:34

In my account on sky there is now a 50% / 12 month offer but they have not emailed or called me about it. Very strange of them

Don't forget if you've declined all marketing previously they CAN'T contact you legally.

I think this happened to someone I know. Can you opt back in by logging in and changing prefs?

Yes, of course. As far as I'm aware anyway.

ArchAnGeL · 6 Jul 2017 at 10:56

That's a good point. Thanks. Although I did ask them to confirm the cancellation by email and that has not come through

Is that 12 month discount on an 18 month contract though?

40% off for full 18 months = 60% off for 12months w/18 month contract - funny that

Nope its just the 12, i tag them every year back and forth

I feel like my £22.80 deal for just box sets has screwed me over.

I would pay the £32 for box sets and movies with sports but they did not offer me that
