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

as has already been stated many times on this forum.

once your contract is up, cancel then join another provider as a new customer or re-join sky under a different name as a new customer.

staying over the terms of your contract will always be more expensive than switching every year.
 
Cancelled my Sky on Monday. I am moving in to rented accommodation temporarily and don't know if there is a dish there. Anyway, I said the issue was price related (I pay £90+ for all my services) and they offered me half price line rental for 12 months. Bye bye Sky :)
 
Anyone suggest a reasonable time to call? Been on hold twice now for about 40minutes then the call drops.

If only I could do this online...

Edit, got through. Cheryl was lovely. Offered me a few deals but I'm not interested, I don't watch enough TV (a few hours a week max) and that I do watch appears to be freeview.

Just cancelled and was offered just the generic half price fibre for a bit. No thanks Jeff.

as has been already said multiple times throughout the thread, the offers you get from the retentions team and sales people are always more than "new customer" deals.

it's best just to leave and re-sign up as a new customer (under a different name) or switch to VM or BT as a new customer.
 
Just rang Sky, said I wanted to cancel. Im only on EE so £24 pm, I got an offer of £11 off PM. I asked about EE+ and that was an extra £5pm, so £18 pm for 12 months. Only £2 more than the F&F 50% discount as it would be £32 as a new customer.

Im happy with that.

Shame the Sky+HD 2TB box are still £149 + installation unless you take out multiroom its £49.
 
I used to have Sky Sports on VM in HD at the cost of £67pcm. Found that I never really watched it so cancelled it but I've always had that yearning to have it again now I'm in my new house...

Looked through Sky's website and just to get Sky Sports in HD, you have to pay a minimum of £60pcm!!!! Eeeek!!! Really isn't worth it. Its a total pain that in order to Sky Sports in HD you HAVE to subscribe to Entertainment Extra+, despite being able to get Sports in standard definition with just the basic Sky Entertainment package.

A total rip off!
 
the thing is sky now know that people read the internet and haggle like mad so they don't bother offering a deal.

only when there is better competition will they have to offer great prices.
 
Just moved to Sky from BT, loving it. works out a bit cheaper than BT.

12 months contract though so at the end of it we'll probably bounce to whoever has the best deal on, not into this corporate loyalty lark ;) Just a shame we've no cable providers in the area..
 
I'm getting fed up with paying sky nearly £20 per week, my 2 boys use Netflix more than sky. I'll admit the Internet's not bad so I want to keep that but otherwise I think I would like to get rid. I will miss discovery channel though:'(
