Sky - what are people paying?

I imagine you would deffo get a deal on the broadband as most other providers are providing 1gb for 30 or 35 so they would be mad to loose a customer over not offering a deal but it is Sky after all so all depends on who you get.

211 per month for absolutely every channel they offer (including netflix premium, multiroom, ultraHD, ultrafast plus broadband).

To answer your question about ultra HD, it's 4 euros per month but as part of my current discounts they're giving it to me for free.

How are you getting such big discounts OP? They're only giving me the 5 euros in-contract discount on Sky Signature. How did you get the extra 23.50 discount?

So, basically a game of chicken! 😂

We tried that and 1 week before it was to be cut off, the boxes arrived to return the equipment.

They called us offering us the package of 1gb broadband, Sky Stream Basic TV (one room) and Netflix for €73 so I'm baffled and jealous how OP is getting these major discounts after 6 years with them.

*edited to add "and jealous"

Christ - eye watering prices.

Is it any wonder 'some' people are paying 70 euro per year for a dodgy-box sub.

For years , ( 2000 to 2013 ) I paid top dollar for every channel sky had. Then I went on a Tool upgrade project which had me away from home for most of 2011 , the missus saw the bill , called them , and reduced it to the least amount possible , basically paying something like 30 quid a month for FTA channels.

When the project was over , started looking into alternatives.

First it was a humax 1000s and a Saorview Box ( Triax ) .

Then I found out about enigma 2 on there , and bought a Tiviar Alpha , then 2 Zgemmas , one with an internal hard drive and then through jealousy one with the slot in the back.

All 3 died with the capacitor plague (swollen leaky caps ) so decided to go premium and got VU+ , also a couple of single tuner boxes to mess around with , the best of them being an Octagon S8008 Extreme , which takes an NVME drive and has unlimited OS slots , so I could try all the different versions of Enigma2 , Openvix is still the best.

I havnt paid a linear TV bill in years , but do pay yearly for Disney + and Apple TV is covered by the Missus Apple Family plan , which gives Storage , games , Apple TV and Apple Music for something like 27 per month. ( depends how much storage you take , we only took 200GB for photos only.) The Missus monitors that usage and only " real " photos are allowed to be kept , not endless tat like duckface shots and rate my plate nonsense that young people get up to these days.

The Apple deal is worth it for the Music Alone. Apple TV , not much on there , but what is on there is worth watching , Shrinking , Severance , Pluribus , Slow Horses , etc.

Satellite is due to end in 2029 ( by the looks of it ) but my boxes are just as adept with IPTV should it come to that , but even so , wouldnt really miss linear TV if it was gone tomorrow. ( except for BBC channels , no endless begging ads )

I only have the basic sky package with HD and netflix sub for €49 per month. every year i tell them I am going to cancel and get it for cheap. I am in contract till May so ill ring them in feb and see

Agreed. It's not cheap but in fairness to Sky, they produce an excellent product. Their sports coverage alone is really exceptional. If I switch on a match a bit late, I can just click the red button to get the match highlights so far.

Sky Signature, Sky Ultimate, Sky Sports Complete, Sky Sports Extra, Sky Cinema, Netflix, Ultra HD, Multiroom. Sky Q system.

€132 pm. Renegotiate every 6 months with contract extended to 12 months each time.

I get broadband elsewhere.

We did that today.

Have basic Sky TV for €33pm

Was just out of contract so next bill will be €50 odd

They said they could do it for €38pm for a year contract.

We were not willing to go over €35pm.

So we cancelled and they said no bother.

With Sky for 22 years.

Had about a year break a few years ago when we did the same thing, cancelled basically, but they rang back a year later with a great offer.

I wonder will we be hearing from them in a year.

Moral of the story, they may call your bluff and let you just cancel.
