We've been with Sky for nearly 10 years and I've about had enough of them to be honest. We currently pay £44/mth for Sky Variety plus HD and I've never bothered to haggle (more fool me!). Got a call a couple of weeks ago asking if I wanted to upgrade to Sky Q. Whilst speaking to the Sky rep I went online and saw the Sky Variety package for £20pm, £5pm HD plus free Q box. I said that I'd like that deal please but as I wasn't a new customer she couldn't offer it to me. So I've cancelled. They've offered me 30% off my current package.

Nearing the end of my first year with Sky, got a very decent deal at £30 per month for sky Q with all channels but it's going to double after the year is up and I'm not up for paying 60 quid a month and am willing to cancel if they can't do a lot better for me.

What's the best I can expect?

Stuff all.

We've been with SKY since long before SKY+ let alone HD and all the current Q gubbins and finally had enough of it this year after I realised that despite forking out over £80 a month for TV alone, then I still couldn't watch the Ashes because the rights had gone to BT Sport, that a was the moment the straw broke the Camel's back.

So, given that we've been customers for probably 20 years and have spent thousands over the years, then I expected we'd get some form of "please stay" offer.

As it was, we were offered 30% off one package, giving a grand total of £10 a month off. Oddly enough, I didn't take them up on this offer, so walked away and won't be going back.

An odd business proposition frankly, but it's their business and they can do what they like, however, so can I, so I've put £25 a month into Netflix and a Now TV box (yes I'm aware it's a SKY product) and I get everything I want (and more) and manage to save myself £55 a month.

I'm still trying to work out their business model for this, but hey ho.

Morning all, gave up on Sky about 18 months ago but now realise we miss how easy it was to use with everything in one place. Catch up services are okay but the content disappears too quickly. Does anyone have a friends and family code or the like? Thanks

Also on the look out for a f&f code for a friend moving house shortly and wanting SKY in the new place.

Thanks in advance if you are able to help.

Cheers,
Nick

I’m at the end of my Sky deal. Currently have sky broadband, phone and sky family package. £72 a month. Quite fancy upgrading to Sky Q with multiroom. Sky website says £82 a month with £70 installation. Is it worth trying to cancel and get some money off, if so how much should I expect to pay???.

Just wondering if anyone had codes or f&f deals? Been with Virgin and using NOW TV but think it's time to go back.

Not quite there yet but seems that Virgin can’t supply me at my new address if target house purchase goes through. Appreciate any heads up from anyone who has access to good sky deals!

Anyone got any ideas on good deals?

I`m looking at upgrading to Sky Q plus 2 mini boxes, also taking phone and unlimited fibre

Apparently I`m VIP as I`ve been with them 18 years, so qualify for free installation (have to upgrade on-line not over phone). But they want £99 for the second mini box installation and £9.95 for delivery of the router.

Package price with Sky entertainment (£20), Kids (£5), Box sets (£5), HD (£5) Cinema (£10) and multiroom (£12) - TOTAL: £57

Fibre Unlimited (£22.50 - £8.99 offer = £13.51 + Line Rental @ £18.99 - TOTAL: £32.50


TOTAL for everything: £89.50pm (18 month deal) + £108.95 up front

Does this sound ok, or am I being taken for a mug?

Hi all, looking to upgrade from Sky+ HD to Sky Q

On the website they are asking £199 installation charge, seems steep for a long-time customer.

Any way to avoid this ?

Do you guys with the deals work for Sky? Could you pm me if anything is available? My 50% discount is up and need to sort something, could do without phoning to cancel etc again. If it's likely to be best to phone and cancel I will of course

Only thing available to existing customers is upgrade to Sky Q.
They never give discounts for continuation of products via the staff offers.
If that's what you want, then try phoning the retention team directly.
Cheers.
