    I got the deal yesterday in CPW Liffey Valley. €36 for variety pack + sports for 12 months is to good to pass on. The guy behind the counter initially thought the deal had ended but when I pushed he asked his manager and he confirmed it is still available.

    I wasn't able to get muti-room for half price with the deal. Can anyone confirm if they managed to get a discount for mutil-room as new customer signing up through CPW with this deal.

    No i had to pay full price for multi-room. Don't recall anyone on here getting half price.

    Currently on Sky variety pack with sports and movies half price which is just expired.
    Get call from Sky last Wednesday telling me to cancel my subscription as they cant give me any offers while a customer and that they will ring me back the following week with a great offer. Call was from person with southern accent,(Cork area I think)

    Call sky on Friday last to cancel the whole package, guy with Dublin accent tries to talk me out of canceling saying that it is the best subscription package around. Tell him of the call I received the previous couple of days and tells me that this couldnt happen as Sky dont do these offers anymore and will not be calling anybody who cancels from now on. The best he could offer was variety with sports for €64 as I was such a valued customer for over 13 years.

    Went ahead with the cancellation anyhow and am now waiting for Sky to call me back later this week.

    If I dont get good offer will try the CPW one and see how I get on with that.

    A girl rang me from Dublin call centre last week offering HD for 5e per week, I said I would think about it.

    Got a phone call from a different girl yesterday, same call centre offering me HD for 7.50e a month. Told her I was offered it cheaper last week and she said it is a point of sale offer, the best she could do was 7.50e and that was it.

    I cancelled recently and was told they cannot give a special offer until after the cancellation period. I don't think they have a clue what they are doing amongst the various departments, it depends on how lucky you get on the day I reckon.

    AnyOne been over charged or is it just me (second bill in to new term)

    They charge x 2 months on first bill + €10 on signup at CPW you will end up with a credit on your 2nd bill

    Seems there's a lot of scammers with too much spare time as CPW have changed their policy on the Tablets now, when I signed up they said just bring in the bill and we will give you the tablet, now they verify with sky and from when you bring in the bill and can collect the tablet takes a few days.... The guy in the store told me people were scamming them by signing up, obtaining a bill and then cancelling..... Seriously? For a €99 euro no name tablet... too much spare time it appears

    I just got a call there - every other call I've got I just say I don't want TV, this time I asked what he was offering, he said half price for a year on basic package - I said no, then I said I'd think about it, so he offered me next 2 months free, no contract, so I can cancel after Christmas if I want without having paid a penny :D Happy days :D

    I got my mother in law to call as a "refer a friend" and first time customer, Sky weren't willing to offer any great discount on the full package :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 16 Mo2012

    This would be the job. I need a new dish, or at least new cabling as my now FTA box can lose all signal with the slightest breath of wind.

    I left Sky last Sep and had no intention in going back but got a call this morning and was offered all Sky channels free ( sports and movies) for 2 months. Perfect for Christmas. I just have to ring back about the 30 Dec to give 31 days notice. Happy days ��

    You'll be caught for the guts of 2 months increase if you ring then. You need to call on 1st January as you pay a month in advance.

    Do you think this price increase is for everybody or does it depend when you signed up??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 866 ✭✭✭thund3rbird_


    just got a call from sky...

    i had cancelled a few mths ago - using the sky box + an aldi hd box since then for ftv channels

    50% off any package for 12 months - no contract, cancel at any time

    first 2 months free on any package (including movies & sports)

    just call back to cancel in time to give the 31 days notice.

    I'm taking the whole lot (all channels, movies & sports) for the 2 mths free & will review the finances after that.

    How long were you disconnected for?

    My contract is being cancelled on Wednesday. I spoke to cancellations at the weekend and they said that they would ring me on Friday with 50% off for 9 months. I've already had 50% off for the previous 9 months so I'm so tempted to take this deal.. Any thoughts? Have any users got back to back 50% discounts?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 660 ✭✭✭Scrappy600


    contacted sky today to ask why i can no longer use the on demand box they sent me out over a year ago. Used it to have the kids programmes on demand to watch for rainy days and stuff. Was told by them that they'd changed the terms and now if you wanted to watch on demand you had to buy the hd package.....even though none of the channels i want to use on demand with are hd channels..... explanation that was given to me - and this is no word of a lie - was "we've spent so much money getting all these shows we have to make it back this way".Told him i wasnt going to recoup their costs for shows i didn't want by paying a load on top of what i used to get for free and asked to be put through to cancellations, to which he promptly put me on hold, never transferred me anywhere and that is where i remained for the next 10 minutes until i hung up as the call wasn't free. Not a happy camper. Horrible way to treat loyal long term customers

    I cancelled in September after finishing half price offer for the previous two years. This was the first time that they called my bluff and cancelled. I wasn't missing it too much apart from the series link recording.

    i know this is slightly off topic but wanted to tell my fellow boardies
    a letter is doing the rounds apparently from sky claiming they owe you(customer) money and please ring the number to arrange the refund
    it is a scam and sky do not operate in this way, a picture of the letter is on facebook
    it looks genuine, some people will no doubt fall for it

    Bit the bullet and cancelled today. I had variety, sports, multi - room and HD for €96 :eek:, ludicrous, I know.
    No deal what so ever on Multi-room or HD but was offered half price sports for 3 months which I refused.
    On the + side, my bill in January will be €36 or €720 a year cheaper than it was this year :P
