*** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

[psd99]

I have been Paying £44 a month for sky sports entertainment and sky sports
but it was becoming too much money to spend, so today after 10 years with Sky I have cancelled my account.

He offered me 25% off but that is still too expensive.

I was surprised that the man was not really that bothered and didn't do much to convince me to stay with them.

Any of you cancelled sky before?

I have never cancelled sky, that would just be ridiculous.

 

[Basher]

Nope, currently pay about £42 a month for TV and BB. Need it for F1, though.

removal old post

It's sky they'll probably give you a call within the next 2 weeks offering you much more

Don't watch sports/movies. £21 just for the tv a month, though I still think it's a lot as half the channels are never watched. Might look at our subscription and cancel some packages.

I'm looking at getting Sky or Virgin as there's no TV signal. I'd like F1 in HD which is Sky only but I already have and want to keep Virgin Broadband

Cancelled mine a while ago and no get emails offering either 50% or 75% of the bill for a year.

TalkTalk are taking all the Sky customers because it's A LOT cheaper!

Congratulations? You've successfully managed to cancel a contract?

TalkTalk are taking all the Sky customers because it's A LOT cheaper!

And a lot worse !

 

[GravyMonster]

I cancelled a month before the F1 deal was announced, so I came back with 25% discount for a returning customer.

As crap as Sky and their Sky boxes are, there's little alternative.

 

[peterattheboro]

And a lot worse !

Not really.

Youview is quite impressive considering it's price.

They'll come back to you with an offer that you can't refuse.

i tried to get talked into geting virgin media but refused, hate the service and im one for not liking change... i prefer skys interface and the channel layout to any other.

its just a shame i cant get sky broadband where i am and they offer a poor adsl line for double the price of broadband due to having to pay bt line rental, yet i still have to pay skys rental ontop too

 

[Nexus]

I wouldn't say the offer of a 25% reduction was them not doing anything.

I'd rather pay double for Sky.

Cancelled my Virgin Tv with Sky Sports HD, it was just a ridiculous amount and I barely got my monies worth from it. I figured that I could live without watching rugby league on sky sports and so cancelled it. I don't really miss it, but I just had it for the rugby, so it made little financial sense.

Our Sky+HD 1TB box isn't crappy, in fact it does the job well. I guess that you've had a bad experience.

mum cancelled when i moved out, eventually offered 75% off for a year but still did not take it. Strangely they are offering the 50% off again now lol.
