    Is the offer only available for sky customers?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,184 ✭✭✭Murt10


    No joy for UPC users.

    The link just refers you to the normal page. No special offers


  • Registered Users Posts: 88 ✭✭duffman21


    seems like a no brainer :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,907 ✭✭✭bennyc


    You may need to cancel straight away if there is 30 days notice to be given


  • Registered Users Posts: 452 ✭✭vicM


    Good find..Just subscribed

    The fact that you will need at least 30 days cancellation notice means you will go into January … which in turn means you end up paying for that month. €16.99.
    Not a bad BA, but just something to bear in mind.

    This is from their t&c's

    Can I get Setanta Sports for just one month?

    We offer our customers a minimum subscription term of two months and we won’t tie you in to a contract for a year. You may cancel your subscription any time after the first ten days of your initial subscription by providing us with 30 days notice which will take effect 30 days after your next billing date.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,393 ✭✭✭stooge


    "Please note: Minimum 2 month subscription applies. "

    So that would be 1E + 19.99E = 20.99E for 2 months

    10.49E per month


    Better off just saying get Setanta half price for two months


  • Registered Users Posts: 452 ✭✭vicM


    But havent they tied themselves buy saying 'try for a month'

    I should have read that myself before posting the alert , but it is a bit misleading on the main subscription page that it doesnt mention any T&C or minimum contract , I might give them a call later.

    Let me know how you get on. If you can get it just for a month I'll sign up.


  • Registered Users Posts: 335 ✭✭markfla


    ffs what a typo to make on their site
    "Subscribe now and get the Setanta Sports Pack for €199 per year. That’s 10 months for the price of 12 and there’s no connection fee!"

    Surely it's 12 months for the price of 10?


  • Registered Users Posts: 452 ✭✭vicM


    OK..Called Customer care as the signal hadnt come through for me. She said I need to call before January 1st and they will cancel it immediately.
    Can someone else call and verify this


  • Registered Users Posts: 27 Perkins135


    I was told the same thing.
    Wasn't the clearest or most helpful on the phone but at least somebody else called too so i'm gonna sign up.
    I wonder will be customer service lines be open on 31st December to take all the cancellation calls?


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,380 ✭✭✭✭cson


    **** them anyway making it look like UPC are in on the offer. :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,985 ✭✭✭xabi


    So if i call them today and sign up and call back to cancel on 29th December it costs €1 and not a cent more? correct?


  • Registered Users Posts: 27 Perkins135


    That's the gist of what i got. Like I said. You know what these customer service people are like.

    I think she said. The day you call to cancel it will cut off straight away. If you don't cancel by 31st December it will go automatically to a 2 month contract and you will have to pay the full price.


  • Registered Users Posts: 27 Perkins135


    Feck i went to subscribe online and just remembered I have multiroom and 2 viewing card nos. Not at home so don't know which no. I have on my sky account online is which .. Do you think it would apply to both viewing cards or best to wait until I can check which card is which?

    Call them prior to Christmas and I imagine you still have the service till the 31st.

    I would concur with the other people who rang , ring before end of month and cancel and you will only pay €1
    But sounds like if you dont cancel, you would then end up with a new 2 month min contract for from Jan 1 , and then tied into the next 2 months ,at least that is what I took from the call.

    I don't think so KN. I'm pretty sure she said, it will be cut off the day you call.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,985 ✭✭✭xabi


    I also called and they confirmed that it will be cut-off while you're on the call to cancel, happy days, thanks OP.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,273 ✭✭✭EuskalHerria


    Just rang customer care a moment ago. Was told essentially what everyone else was. This would continue as a subscription package as normal. However if you ring anytime before the end of December, then they will cancel your subscription and cut off the channels there and then.

    A very good deal. Will be handy for the huge UFC card at the end of the month at least. Thanks OP.

    Thanks for that Niall. Will the call centre be open on 31st December and will there be adequate staff to take a lot of calls?
