    Is it worth trying this to see if they'll offer me a better package as an insentive to stay? I've heard this happening to a couple of people in the UK. Anyone try this here?

    Maybe I should try and get a free HD subscription :D

    Worst thing that could happen is they say no.

    It is worth it.

    I had to cancel Sky a few years back as I was moving to the US. It wasn't until I actually told them this that they let me off the phone, after numerous "tempting" offers.

    My mother-in-law had the same problem last year. She had both Sky and NTL in the house and wanted to get rid of the former. She was on the phone for 30 minutes with them before they would cancel. They offered her all manner of deals to stay.

    That's how capitalists roll, I'd say go for it. Ring up saying you'd like to cancel, then pretend to be persuaded.

    ya of course they will, they have a retention department and they'll offer you something better.
    I got the 1st month free and had all the packages but had no intention of keeping them so just before the 1st month I called up to drop it to 2 packages then she gave me a big shpeeel about how I'd be saving so much money if I took up whataver package she offered.
    I work in a call centre so its always fun being on the other end :D
