Sky calls

joolsveer

I left Sky a couple of years ago because I could not justify the cost. I had HD and multiroom and the full package was costing me over €100 a month.

I moved to a combination of Freesat and Saorview and I am very happy with the reception and programmes and the zero running costs.

I keep getting mail and phone calls from Sky to get back on board their gravy train. Last week a guy rang and he was under the impression that I had recently left Sky. I told him that I had gone a least two years and he said that this was news to him. I added that I was happy with my setup and would not rejoin Sky because of the high cost.

How to I get them to cease hassling me?

I have found that use of disgusting expletives gets me blacklisted so they don't call again.
