Deals On Sky TV Service - (Mostly Cancellation deals)

to be fair they generally just do it once a year (max) and that’s in April

Hi all, cancelled a couple of weeks ago and the other day got a text msg with a link to renew at about 24E. Took the offer and happy with that. But I'm on a sky hd box currently and looking on the app I see SkyQ is available at no cost also I seem to b able to add a couple of mini boxes at no extra cost, ie the same monthly cost. Is that correct or if I take it I'm I gonna get an almighty bill and have to ring and argue?!? Any previous experience welcome!

Thanks for that! I'll keep a close eye on it👍 How many minis did u get and how much extra did they charge?

Does anyone know if this text is still being sent out? I just cancelled after not being given much of a deal but don't really want to switch elsewhere so hoping for the text.

Yep got a text 10 days later offering broadband for €35 (full price gone up to €64) and 45% off Signature package with Netflix so took it.

Rang the cancellation team two weeks ago, ful package sky customer for 30 years now. Sports and movies. Since Sky Q came on stream I've added a multi room plus phone and broadband. Was something like 140 pm. Last month I noticed it had gone to 189 so rang to cancel. Person I spoke to said my subscription was going to 235 next month no joke!! Offered me 168 which i refused and then said he'd talk to his supervisor and ring me while I was away. No phone call came so I'll be on first thing in morning to push ahead with cancelling. Don't mind paying a bit for the comfort of their product but 235 is extortion

Offered 165 and so I refused and continued to cancellation. Told them now the soccer is spread out to a few different channels they should be lowering the price not raising it.

It’s been spread years. Sky got more games. Only way the premier league was getting same money was handing over more games. So they could keep face by saying to clubs we’ve the same money coming in. Sky know their business model is bust and need to do what they can to keep numbers as they’re losing them everywhere. So push through with your cancellations and they’ll be calling you to come back. 235 is crazy amount to pay. I assume it includes bb and mobiles

I think that's a scam number doing the rounds, myself and the missus both got scam calls from the same +44 number.

Are you now saying 235 is not a crazy amount of money for that package?

Offered €126 after initial offer of €135 for basic tv, movies(which I’ve told them I never watch), Netflix, one extra box and Ultrafast broadband.

Turned it down hoping to get down to at least €110

My personal experience is from some years ago so I'm not sure if Sky still has the same policies. To be considered a new customer you have to be gone for a year however they do or did have better offers for "returning" customers. On one occasion I rang on the day I was due to be cut off and the best they would offer was 20% off. But I rang the following day and the agent said I was now classed as a returning customer and therefore he could make me a better offer to sign up again. I can't remember exactly but I think it was about 40 or 50% off.

Tried that before and it didn't work as its all same surname

I didn't know that, good to know. Would you get landed with the streaming box after signing up as a new customer?
