    Sky are using groupon?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 746 ✭✭✭absolutegroove


    Yep. I've seen them on Groupon UK before aswell.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,002 ✭✭✭IrishHomer


    Seems like a fantastic deal to me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭Skuxx


    Bought, cheers for the heads up!
    Moving into a new gaff with herself so every little helps!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,880 ✭✭✭MuddyDog


    SO how much is it per month using the voucher? 52 euro?

    It's a genuine 50% off the various sky packages so look up sky Ireland package prices and divide by half


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,209 ✭✭✭maximoose


    Hmm

    So could get the variety bundle plus sports package for €36 a month? This seems to be great value

    Whats the catch?!

    There is no catch.

    50% of a 12 month contract for new customers - Simple as that :-)

    I doubt it. It will sell out fast.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 321 ✭✭toonarmy1

    Will it be there this evening


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk


    Option to add free broadband for 6 months too. Great deal

    It may be, it may not.
    It doesn't mention whether there's a limited quantity in addition to the 2 day limit.

    The only way to be sure is to buy it now, because it now stands at 60 and rising by the minute.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk


    It says limited availability under the amount sold. I bought anyway, will discuss with the oh later :p. TV and unlimited broadband for 18 p/m. Obviously it will increase after the 6 months free BB but still a good deal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,724 ✭✭✭Cape Clear


    Do you have to take the sports and movies pack? I know I'm being lazy but it's not jumping out at me from the link! Thanks OP

    No you don't have to take the Sports or Movie pack.

    You can pick and mix if you like :-)

    That would seem a better deal than the Groupon deal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk


    Do cpw offer the free 6 months broadband?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,867 ✭✭✭Bummer1234


    is there a expiry date for the sky deal?

    Edit: Using your Groupon: Must place order by 8 Oct 2014.

    What's the big issue with calling on the phone?

    Just bought it, but it occurs to me, what's the story with hardware and/or installation?

    I'm thinking the same, have never been with Sky before so no dish on house

    As a new Sky customer you should be entitled to a free dish, Sky+HD box and installation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,131 ✭✭✭djdunny


    @Slunk. Think they just have the regular BB deals. I have UPC 150mb so didn't really enquire.

    Yes you have to be in store. They take your details and then call sky and pass you over to them to complete the sale.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,002 ✭✭✭IrishHomer

    It states all that on the offer! If ye reD the offer it's there in black & white

    Somehow missed that, must have been looking too hard :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,620 ✭✭✭enfant terrible


    Got voucher thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 272 ✭✭0028673


    signed up as well.. fair play to the OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,907 ✭✭✭✭Kristopherus


    Guys, I got my 6th "Come back" begging letters from Sky today. Any package for 50% off on a 12-month contract. Also included free BB for 6 months. Re the free BB, the small print says you have to pay €30 line rental. So be careful when opting for the free BB.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,528 ✭✭✭NinjaTruncs


    Anyone know what Sky's definition of new customer is? MY dad wants to get Sky back it's been at least 2 years since he left, would he be considered a new customer?

    Yes he will be regarded as a new customer. I asked sky recently and if you leave sky for over 12 months you are then deemed to be a new customer and you must take new equipment & installation regardless of working old equipment.

    Pedant alert.....divide by 2 not by a half. Dividing by a half is the same as multiplying by 2, and you don't wanna do that.

    Good offer on the face of It!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,087 ✭✭✭paddydriver


    So thinking of my Dad here, wonder could I cancel his subs now and then sign up using my name and details in his place? I have a Sky sub myself but at my home address... Whatcha reckon?:confused:

    Yep, people do it all the time, sign up in the wife's, grandfather's or dogs name and of you go. :)

    Although the groupon voucher *May* need to be in the same name, not sure.

    You can get multiroom now without a landline ,its no longer a requirement.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,325 ✭✭✭✭Dozen Wicked Words

    Wow, that's good to know in case I ever sub again. How do sky know if you have the boxes in the same house or not now then? What's to stop people sharing their multiroom cards with other houses?

    I'm not sure but I'm assuming that they now use your internet connection to verify the same IP location.

    Ah, yeah, I see. So it still has to be connected, just not via phone line.

    No, it doesn't. I have multiroom and no internet or phone connection on the 2nd box. Not sure if its done on a trust basis or if they have the technology to pinpoint the location where you actually receive their signal

    Doubt sky do anything on a trust basis!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,858 ✭✭✭bromley52


    I am guessing that the new wifi enable boxes are able to communicate/ see each other and if the main box can't see the multiroom box it either won't work or you will be contacted by Sky after a certain time. It's only a guess but seems like something that could work.
