Has anyone tried to avail of this offer?

I'm tempted as I qualify as a new customer, I hate calling them unless I'm sure it is available

I availed of this offer yesterday. €48 for the sports package with totally free installation.

And to be honest I didn't ask for anything extra. I just asked for the offer. I only had to pay a e10 deposit and I'll get that refunded on my first bill.

Was your notice period up, I'm due to be cut off on 13th so wondering I could expect a call.
BTW what do people think of UPC, the Horizon Max appears to be good value with SKY sports & mulitroom for €45 p.m. for 6 months. I heard there was a few issues with it which makes me reluctant to switch

I have just been on to sky and eventually they agreed to terminate my contract.they were only offering me 1/2 price sports for three months.
looks like i will have to wait for the call or just do without..!!

This thread is great for existing customers but i don't know will new customers do any better than 25% off from the start. Looks a good deal.

I don't want the movies bundle, just sports. doesn't seem to be part of the deal.

As a new customer to Sky back in April this year... (I never had TV from them, but last year had moved phone and broadband to them)

I got a deal, any package I wanted (went for everything... HD, Sports, Movies.. the full monty, €96 per month, and got it for half price, €48 on a 12 month contract. Free Install, free dish, free HD WIFI box...

I'm going to call their bluff tomorrow,what number did you use? I'm paying €79 pm for variety,movies and multi room. I would like HD but it interferes with the card trick so I'll stay with SD. 50% off for 9 months would be brilliant.

what's the card trick?

Got disconnected last Friday. Had almost given up hope.. checked My Sky this morning and boom 50% off offer

If i sign up to the 25% off for new customers on the variety pack will i get offers to upgrade to sports during the contract or is the 48euro a month as good as i will get for sports ?

Is that on the Irish account, on My Sky, it shows 25% off plus a free SKY + box but when I rang up, they knew nothing about it only have the original 20% offered on my file

Horizon is beyond bad. I got rid of it after a month. Have a look at the threads on here. It's slow and has so many issues.

I did, I only cancelled my HD last month as my half price for a year ran out.

We never watch box sets, download them if we want them, so not a biggie here, himself said everyone mst be cancelling,

But they are offering half price for a year,

Sweet, I'm on the countdown to my cancellation cut-off date, where on your My Sky login will this off be ? I'd probably upgrade to Sports if I got 50% off

tinofapples

Got an email overnight "Where did we go wrong" asking me to complete a survey in relation to my cancellation.

To respond or not respond ??

peking97

Respond by saying the service is too expensive.
That'll do the trick!

Was wondering that myself beforehand. It'll be there once you click 'My Sky' tab.

I got this letter yesterday but on mine, it also said "we are giving you FREE SKY+HD until end of April!"
After that it will be automatically cancelled.
That is on top of a half price offer on everything that is still going .
So not only will I be able to watch the boxsets but I'll also get FREE HD until April (if I still have Sky ).
Must have a look and see when the half price offer expires.

I got the same and just completed, basically giving the opinion that the service is not value for money and that SKY need to look after their existing long-standing customers.
Which is actually true and I will be letting the cancellation stand unless I get that 50% off offer.

35% for 12 months for now.

So has everyone who cancelled or threatened to cancel received the 50% offer?

Never failed to get 50%
If I need new equipment for any reason just re-join as a new member, new box remote and dish if needed
Sky isn't worth the money at full price

SEORG

Disconnected yesterday, 50% with UK number was on My Sky page yesterday....gone today..........what is the usual wait time for them to contact customers after cancellation?
