Sky deals anyone?

[Silverage]

Christ on a bike! £160 per month?

[Butter Face]

Yes is the answer.

[DSLiverpool]

Hmm I can’t call them as they are not doing stuff. We have BT on top and Amazon lol.

[Davie_GLA]

£160 a month before ordering a PPV or movie is a lot of cash for telly and I work for them. I’ve always said that if it weren’t for getting most of it free as a perm employee I’m not sure I’d sign up is a civilian!

So you use your landline? I couldn’t tell you the last time the house phone rang or I made a call on it. Not a massive saving as you still need the line rental for broadband etc. But it’s something?

Fibre to the property might help wit that.

When I was with virgin for the broadband it was more! I’m out of contract and did have a half price intro offer so it’s not been that bad all the way though. We have 3 Q boxes as well.

All out of contract pricing as well. Broadband and phone can have a decent saving straightaway by moving to new super fast package which includes line rental, if landline isn’t used drop anytime calls too. Re-contract and save on tv too and that’s without even haggling too. While it is a lot some savings are easy and it’s similar to insurance, once you’re out of contract or your renewal comes round you have to get on at them.

I also agree, not sure I’d have the whole package if I wasn’t a staff member, but I’d probably have the sports for football and F1.

Try the chat on the website or when you call you might get an option for messaging?

Try FB, I established contact there and someone called me back. Seems they stop non-key workers, but happily dial out.

Ta guys it’s my mission for tomorrow.

[Adrian E]

Just to add to my earlier posts, I managed to get through this evening via online chat and got a deal I was broadly happy with, give or take a few quid.

As above I was on the entertainment package with HD, kids and Go Extra at £18 a month. Wanted to add multi-room, UHD and Netflix. Original offer was £54-56 a month IIRC.

Managed to agree on £38 a month

Signature £19
multi-screen £10
Sky kids £1
Sky HD free
Sky Ultimate £4
Sky UHD £4

£110 one off charge for a UHD 2TB box and a mini box.

Not too bad, given I won't be paying £8.99 direct to Netflix either.

[DSLiverpool]

Is this sky Q ?

[DSLiverpool]

Got through on 0333 759 1599 in 5 mins

Was polite as usual to a lovely guy and we worked on a deal

I have to pay about £50 in package change, new contract stuff but I have no issue - I know when to stop pushing.

Managed to agree on £113.50 a month (saving £50 and with a better service) with improved Broadband (was fibre now superfast)

I have UHD free
I have cancelled the landline call package

Now here is an extra saving - I pay BT £36 for the tv (mainly to watch LFC) if I have BT via Sky I get it for £17 PLUS a £5 discount on my Sky sports package making BT go from £35 to £12 !!!!

Back in 2012 I got a code from Davie for 50% (Many thanks!) and then just phoned up at the end of the contract to re-negotiate a deal, this happened for a number of years and worked well.

A few years ago they sent out a letter saying that I could keep my current deal (50% off) for 5 years with no need to phone them.

Is £42.50 a month for Sports HD and Box sets still a decent price?

Glad to hear. Five years has gone past in a flash. I reckon that's a good deal but I'm not close enough to the actual customer side.

MissChief - not sure where in the business you operate but this.seems a very good deal.

Thx guys, I did think it was OK but as they have different names/prices for the same product just wanted to check.

It's actually pretty good not having to phone up at the end of every year and go through the usual cancellation song and dance routine.

Hi all,

Sky is in my wife's name and we are out of contract. We would like Sky Q and UHD, but to upgrade we have to pay £219.99.

We don't have movies, sports etc.

If she cancelled Sky, could I then set up as a new customer as it would just be in my name?
This would only cost us £20 to install and then £39 per month after, which also includes Netflix.

Thanks.

Just ring them up (I know, hard at the moment) and they'll give it to you for probably just the £20 installation fee. My mum in her 70s rang them 6 months ago and they offered that straight away and she didn't haggle (because she can't!).
