Sky TV!

[Karma]

DH decided that we should cancel Sky sports for 3 months as some football thing was finished. As usual it was up to me to sort out. somehow during the phone conversation I managed to cancel our whole Sky TV package

so, we were due to be cut off next week and i have been a bit bl**dy minded about it and refused to phone back and cancel our cancellation.

So, Sky just phoned us and offered us the full entertainment package and full sports package for £20 a month for a year, result

Well done Karma, see they just couldnt let you go

That is a good deal especially with the sports included, well done for being bloody minded, it paid off.

Yes, and peace and tranquility have now resumed within this household, lol

Same here Karma, I phomed them to cancel when we were moving, its in my old name before I re-married, about 16 yrs ago I first took it out, the plan was, for me to cancel, daughter to recommend my husband get the discount bla nla, but the went from £90 odd pound a mth to £28 with broadband and phone, well chuffed Its until feb next yr #icon_thumbsup#

that is a good deal sandra, perhaps i should of held out longer

I should really get on to Virgin and see if I can batter down our costs. We've got the XL TV, free evening and weekend calls (never use the bloody phone), and broadband. Costs about £60 per month and we've been with them for years! Should get a ruddy loyalty discount

I feel a phone call coming on

Now there's an idea

[womble]

Sky are relativity easy to bargain down. You need to get to the disconection dept in Scotland, then you say you want to cancel your package, if they don't offer you anything good enough, go ahead and cancel, they always ring you back before the month is ended, if they don't, at the worst they will ring you back very shortly after it goes off.

I don't really care if we lose it for a while, so I play very hard ball I only have the basic package, but rarely pay more than half price.

WTG Karma.

I'd give it a go, but I'd lose my phone and broadband too.

Downside is, my braodband is mega slow here

Was never the fastest before, but I could watch vttv etc, here, it takes an age to load a pic, have to leave it unplugged for 10 days for them to speed it up, if they dont do a better job I will have to go elsewhere.
