You just cant win with SKY. I will have to see if I can get it reduced.£114 a month is too much.

I’ve got Sky Essentials which is basically free view but you get to keep the box / use SKY’s recording capabilities, which in my opinion is still the best.
costs me £5 a month.3 -
Does that include Sports?

I was paying £120 a month for SKY (just full package TV, no broadband or anything else) - I rang them to cancel and they put together another package that included everything I had before except the mini box that I never used anyway (I've got Apple TV 4K in other rooms and use SKY GO) New price £60 a month.

If you ring up to cancel they will 100% offer you a reduced rate to get you to stay.Derek1952 said:You just cant win with SKY. I will have to see if I can get it reduced.£114 a month is too much.0 -

It won't happen. But if it does, you can just hang up before you've agreed to anything.Derek1952 said:They might take me at my word and cancell my sky
Personally I cancelled my Sky using their web chat. I was paying silly money, and without sports. £110 a month or something. They offered me £80, I said no, and then they offered £60. Still said no as I genuinely didn't want it.0 -
Anyone else got deja vu?0

is that the channel / is there a premium version?JaShea99 said:Anyone else got deja vu?3 -
Extremely unlikely to happen. They won't just let you go without at least offering you something, they employ a retentions team for this exact purpose.Derek1952 said:They might take me at my word and cancell my sky
Of course it might not be an offer you think is worthwhile but you will get something.1 -

I am paying £140/m tv & sky sport, broadband & talk. Negotiated down to £98 & agreed new contract on 25th July for full fibre streaming so making the dish obsolete. Been with Sky for 16 years.Changed my mind & signed up to Virgin including sky sports, broadband & talk for £60/m.Phoned Sky telling them I’m cancelling on 20th August- within the 31 day cooling off period, then they offered £80/m which I refused.Then things got complicated, I-got cut off while waiting to talk to the cancellation department. I can’t use the online cancellation form so I have no proof of cancellation. Nearly all of their email addresses are ‘ unmanned do not reply ‘.To say Sky’s online cancellation system is not user friendly is an understatement.Virgin installation engineers are booked for this Thursday, can’t wait.1

We are spending more time in the UK looking after Karen's ailing mum so her brother and sister-in-law (who are her carers) can have more breaks. As that basically entails sitting in the house for days on end I have just signed up for Now TV's sports package, £20 a month for a year (it was a special offer). Even if we only use it while we are here it seemed worth doing.2

I cancelled a year or so back, didn't make me any offers to stop me at the time but within a couple of weeks plenty of offers via text and email.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

I cancelled sky sports as they were forcing me to pay for sports i dont watch ie Golf Tennis Motor racing.I rarely watch football on sky as i catch up on Match of the day and highlights on the foitball league show.
I was paying £52 a month and called them to say i was cancelling sky sports as i dont watch the sports except Cricket.They said i coud have sky signature and cricket for £41 a month...Only £11 cheaper than when i had all the sports channels.Told them no and im cancelling.They didnt ask to stay or try and give me a cheaper deal so thats that no more sky.

for those with sky stream. I want to add sky sports, mainly to watch nfl season which is 6 months, I see now that its £30 a month rolling which is too much really, the other month it was £25 i think. Theres also the option of £22 for 24 months which im not keen on, but i did read somewhere that you can just give 31 days notice to get out of these "contracts", anyone have any experience with this?0

2 weeks and a bit later and they just contacted me with a better offer - but still not good enough for me so holding out ..... also they wanted to add a one of Admin fee for doing the deal on top !charlton4ever said:I cancelled 2 weeks ago and am prepared to walk.

Hi Derek, thanks for the reminder, I phoned up Sky told them I was out of contract, and what was the best deal they could do for me.
They said if I fixed with them for 24 months they’d reduce my monthly bill by £27 a month 👏 👏

If I remember if you cancel there is a 30 day notice period. Invariably they will come back to you sometime during that period with a better offer.Derek1952 said:They might take me at my word and cancell my sky
Last time I said I wanted to cancel they gave me a better offer straight away.0
