Deals On Sky TV Service - (Mostly Cancellation deals)

That number will never be taken down. It's their "complaints" number. It'll get you through to any department you need.

I cancelled 3 weeks ago , TV ,Sports ,Movies , phone and internet.

Agent offered nothing at the time, think he offered something silly like 5% that l said no to and he then just went a head and cancelled the package .

I've received no offers of 35% off to stay .

whats my best way to proceed .

let them switch if off and call back to say before l go with Virgin just wanted to check any offers ?

if its switched off do they then try and charge for the boxes again ?

thanks

Let it actually get cut off every year. An hour after it is cut off ring up and you'll get the best deal. It is called a "winback deal" for returning customers. I got 50% off my entire package for years but it doesn't exist now apparently and they don't do a discount off the the whole package anymore just the base package ie. youll get 40% off the entertainment and sports and movies packages if you have them. Everything else is seperate. I managed to get half price multiroom too after demanding them to ask manager. That was it. Kids and hd and box sets all 8 euro each now if you want to add them on and no discount.

Moral of the story, if you can deal with it being knocked off for an hour (or maybe a day if it gets cut off on a sunday and the rentention team are not working) then let it cancel. No matter what they offer you to stay you will be guaranteed that when its actually cancelled. Best i was ever offered on the phone when it was still active was 35%. Let it cancel and got the 40% immediately (used to be 50% in the good days haha). Good Luck.

Current wait times on the phone to SKY is 1 hour, contract is up soon so trying to see if I can get a better price

Wonder if the wait is due to people joining SKY now that nearly everybody in Ireland and probably the UK in next few days will all be at home?
If it is the discounts will be reduced going forward.

More likely people cancelling their sports packages.

About to say this.

Does anyone know if there's an email address used to cancel? Looking to cancel my sports too, as Leeds v Coventry from 2005 or so doesn't quite interest me.

They did cancel my sports package with immediate effect last week in fairness to them, in contract too but they’ve already applied credit to the account for the lost days. It’s absolutely worth doing so and make sure to tell them to cancel with immediate effect, if they can do it for me they should be able to do it for anyone. The notice period wasn’t even mentioned.

Just wanted to share my experience with Sky this morning, cancelled one month ago, rang to discuss sending the equipment back.

Corona virus or not sky expect you to break the curfew, put your health at risk and post their equipment back, if they don't receive the equipment within 60 days they will still fine you up to 300 quid for the Q box, mini box and router.

But hey we will give it back to you when we get the stuff back, they refused all other suggestions of getting the stuff collected by courier or getting their installers to collect.

Did they send out the box to you to send the stuff back? Tomorrow is D-Day for us, our service finishing as we called on March 2nd to cancel. Haven't received anything from them yet though - even though i think they had said we would be receiving packaging to send it back.

I received the box for the router still waiting for box for q box

Has anyone tried to get an extension on Now TV Sky Sports deals? I got a 6 months offer via pigsback.com for Sky Sports and activated it 2 weeks BC (before Corona)

I did get Variety down to 19e - that did mean losing HD though. Having said that RTE and BBC are still in HD

Let it cancel down. Then check your online Sky account an there should be an offer for at least 35% off.

Out of contract and currently on the basic tv package, paying 32 a month. Had been thinking of going Freesat/Saorview but would leave it one more year with Sky if they would give me a discount. Are they known to do that just for the basic package and what might I get? And do you have to go and cancel and wait the 31 days before any offers come along?

Same I am now sky free for a month don't miss it one bit, bought a fire stick and Chromecast

I had the plug pulled yesterday. No comeback offers by phone or in my account. I had Sky Sports and HD on top of variety.

Surprised you didnt get an offer. Whats the plan, go without or go back to them?

If they're not giving offers I think I might bail on them myself

haha thats a joke

Might cancel myself but think I just want it for one more year but only at a discount. Im only paying 32 which isnt that much but tbh most of what I watch is available on saorview anyway. Its easy to justify it monthly but when it adds up to 382 per year for something you could get for free it stops making sense.
