Lloyd90 Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Internet sky box off Ebay! I don't have one but family member does, £130, all the channels, everything, one off payment. Had it over a year now. They used to pay over £100 a month for sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I'm ringing up and canceling sky as from Monday, They will either offer me a deal to stay or wave me goodbye.... Am looking into one of those dodgy sky boxes, Anyone any experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am looking into one of those dodgy sky boxes, Anyone any experience? Yer like I said my old mans got one. All the channels, fights, movies, pay per view etc Only thing is you can't record and watch back. For the one off payment of £130 it's class. £100+ a month he has saved over the last year is a big bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister and bloke I work with both rung up sky to say that subscription is too much and if they don't get a better deal they are leaving. Both were told sorry but you gonna have to leave. Both are still with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd90 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I've phones them up in the past, they get so many people asking for a better deal or they're leaving they don't offer deals to stay anymore. They pretty much say leave if you want, I think they expect you to stay anyway if you don't get a better deal. As shown above they call a lot of people's bluff! If you've got a back up and genuinely want to cancel n start cutting it all off they may then make you an offer, but a one off £100 payment vs £100 a month, it's not rocket science 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie-fox Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I was paying 75 per month for sky TV, phone, and broadband.. I phoned up in the 18th of May to cancel all of it, they phoned me back on the 8th of June and offered me all the same for £32 per month.. Don't ask them for a better deal just ask to cancel they will chase you and offer a deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ask them for a better deal just ask to cancel they will chase you and offer a deal... I left them years ago and within a couple of months they rang back and offered me the deal I had before at half price for 12 months, I won't be asking for a better deal I will be telling them I'm off If I go for the firestick and say, miss a Grand Prix, will I be able to find it on there or doesn't it work like that?
