Rossco89 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Sky tv has got more expensive each year and each year I find less to watch on Sky. I thought Netflix and Prime would force sky to up their game. Doesn’t seem it worked out that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Sky works on a 30 day notice so you can do it now and still get your SKY over the period Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 I have been with sky for years (basic + sports) and never bothered to haggle over price. Had time on my hands the other day so rang them up and said I wanted to cancel as I didn’t think it was good value. Got 30% off. Might have got more off if I had tried harder.

Stephen-H Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 when you go to cancel it they will do everything in there power to keep you by offering you lots of different packages & deals sometimes it can work out better in the long run even if you were happy with your original deal they will upgrade boxes & subscription plans etc. I do agree with you tho the price you pay for a subscription/ service with them for what you actually get in terms of programs & contect etc isnt really worth it espically with netflix , amazon & youtube producing more content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do this every time the contract is up. Best result so far is 60% discount although did I have to wait for the day before they disconnected to get that one!

I've done a similar thing. Cancelled SKY @£68:00pm which was for landline/phone, TV package and Broadband. I purchased a Firestick 4K and my mate 'altered' it. I know have more channels than I can ever watch. I also bought a Freesat receiver so that I can record programs. My contract expires the end of this month. For Broadband, I went with Vodafone Superfast 2. One of the reasons being is that I've had a mobile phone contract with them for many years, so had a discount. I'll be saving £31 pm.
