When your contract renewal comes up negotiate hard for a reduction saying you will have to cancel if they cannot beat your current offer.  You should be able to get your current service for £90/month.  Tell them you know of people who have this deal.

When I got mine half price, they didn't want to give me a better deal on the phone so I cancelled.  Within 24 hours there was an offer available to me on the Sky app of 50% off.

I threatened to leave and got nothing so I left and they offered to reconnect me at half price, I refused and they offered to reconnect me for free for 6 months and then continue at half price.

If they don't play ball, leave. you will be contacted within a fortnight.

And if they still don't play ball why would you want to be with a Company that offers everybody else half price but tells you to f**k off?

At that stage I'd feel justified buying a Kodi box and nicking everything.

i actually have a firestick with kodi on it (though not fully loaded as of yet) but as stated before i live in the same house as my parents although its basically split in 2 its all under the same postal address
they are so honest if they found out that something in there basket hadn't been paid for in a supermarket then they would return to the shop to make sure it was paid for before the police turned up at there door

telling them i am using something thats not exactly 100% lawful like kodi or bittorrent would not be a conversation 1 they would understand or 2 they would tolerate

its a grey area, but even if i say its 100% legal they wont believe it as they read too much guff

[Graham C]

You don't need to mention the Kodi box, just phone and cancel.  When they ask why, just say it's getting too expensive and you're looking at other options such as Netfilx, Amazon etc and you can live without the sports if they question that too.  Don't get suckered in with any offer they make you on the phone that's less than 50% off, simply cancel and give them the 30 days notice.

Even if you don't get an offer in that time, you can always bottle it on day 29 or 30 and cancel the cancel - there is really nothing to lose.

If I was Sky I'd instruct the call agents to make chicken sounds if someone did this.

I need some advice please.

I have just signed up to Sky Q + Broadband after switching away from them to join BT for the last year. They came and installed on Monday.

The package I signed up to is:-

Line Rental - £17.40
Broadband Unlimited - £5
Sky Pay as you talk - £0
Original Bundle with Cinema & Sports (40% discount) - £34.80

Monthly Total - £57.20

I was happy with that before I realised that the bundle I had chosen didn't include Sky Atlantic or, more importantly, any HD channels. Also no HD channels for Sports. This is a killer, absolutely cannot watch in standard definition any more.

So ring back up, as still in cooling off period, and try and get the rest for free. Not budging and fully cancelled before telling them to reverse the cancellation. The best they could offer me was a surcharge on the above of £15.20 (£6 for HD sports, and the rest for TV bundle). The 40% discount works on the bundle but not on the extras i.e. sports.

So total bill with everything is £72.40. I could take movies off and it becomes £67.70. Decisions...decisions.

I can still cancel everything for no loss, I assume I could take the broadband elsewhere and still keep the 40% discount on the TV too so that's an option. Any thoughts?

[Mark_Porter]

Think I can just improve the broadband. Line rental upfront with Plus net equivalent £15.49 a month then £2.01 per month for unlimited + £55 cashback. Saves a decent chunk versus Sky broadband, I assume that won't affect my TV discount.

wish i could help mark but as you can see from previous post sky rip me off and i just take it
