Deals On Sky TV Service - (Mostly Cancellation deals)

guil

Rang them and said it was too expensive. All I was offered was 20% off and half price HD. Told them to cancel it so hopefully I get a call or the other half will crucify me.

I cancelled last October. Today I got what must be my 6th begging letter offering me 50% off for 9 months. Still not biting:D.

Ah-Watch

I've cancelled my TV and so have the parents. The parents are getting phone calls daily offering SKY for €9 a month for 6 months and a €50 credit. I've got nothing

Ordin73

Cancelled last July and I have recently had a number of missed calls from sky. I rang in to see what was the best they could do but I got the usual offers. Half an hour later got a phone call with the standard 50% for 9months AND €80 credited to the account .

How have you managed in the meantime?!

Rang during the week to cancel. Have full package with hd. Told them I couldn't afford it. Was offered 15% off for 6 months, but refused it. Then after being put on hold the girl found a "new offer she never saw before for loyal customers" with 20% off for 9 months. I refused again and told her to cancel, so I'll be holding out for the next few weeks for the 50% offer

I used a free view sat box and streamed alot..I signed up for fibre broadband and I'm getting about 85mb download speed so it wasnt a problem

I cancelled today. I've had sky 12 years since i was 22 so its going to be strange. Had enough paying 90 odd a month the last few years.

Called today and wanted the 50% of offer some were getting, citing lack of money got 20% off in the end. Will call back again in a month or two and let them know I still can't manage and ask to cancel see what they'll do then.

Why accept the 20% discount
Give the 30 day notice, they need customers, you will get the 50 or even 75% if you hold tough with them

Get in quick folks.

I have given 30 day notice at all different times of year for myself and other family members and always get 50% or more and reduced hd recently
If not I rejoin in a different name and get new package, box and dish.
They will never beat me

Just got a call from sky having moved to Eircom a few weeks ago.
Offered me free sky TV for 6 months.
Giving me a 75% discount for 6 months bringing it to 9€ per month and a 60€ credit which makes it free.
It's then 9€a month for another 3 months and then back to full price with no contract.
As I have evision free for a year it's cost neutraI for 6 months and to be fair. I'm missing sky TV.

Just need the reconnect my box now

That's some deal you got there!

Well done!

I want to get a good offer but I really don't wanna be without Sky for any period of time.

Did you not have to break a contract with Eircom ?.

smaoifs

Looking to upgrade to HD. Only have the standard white box right now but if we get the newer box, do I lose programs I have recorded on sky plus or will they carry on to the new box?

Owryan

Rang up to cancel sky and they offered free sports or movies to stay.

Told them I had gotten in efibre and was now able to use Netflix but the agent kept asking if I was going to get in evision.

Ended up staying with them for €20 a month down from 30. I was already getting €6 off as I ve a legacy account so im happy enough.

No need to break it.
Its costing nothing for a year so I can i keep my free sky for 6 months pay another 9 for 3 months and then cancel again and revert to evision before i start paying full price (or not so good a discount).

I just plugged my box in again ,...sci-fi, atlantic, ncis ..Im sorted:D

You'll lose them sadly.

But just watch everything before you switch to the new box! :P

They dont have a land line number Im afraid but you can do it online if you have a Sky ID....quite easy to set up if you dont. You just email and they call you back.

Alternatively if you have any family or friends who have the telephone/broadband with Sky you can use their phone to call 0818719819 as the calls are free to Sky phone customers.

I got the same offer this evening. I was back up and running in 10 minutes. :-)

The Guvnor

I was on a package which included sport, films and the other channels not hd.
Paying €81 a month.
By dropping Films and sport would bring me to the normal variety pack €36 a month.
So far was offered 15% discount but when I called up and said we'd be looking to leave - got told end of year, new offers live this weekend and they will call me then.

Wait and see - assuming this has been seen before by you guys?

Sorry, I dont follow that exactly. Did you actually reduce your package down to the the variety bundle?

I dont follow that part either, sorry.

I emailed them last week to call me back but received an email to say they couldn't ring because i was in Ireland

AlanS181824

I'm going to ring up soon, always get my bill on the 8th.

Hope to get some reduction, on the €36 variety bundle.

Wow! Thats nasty of them. I would email them again and point out that you have nothing but a mobile and have no credit and ask them to contact one of their team here in Ireland with a view to having them call you.

Alternatively, and I have heard of people doing this and it works, ring the 0818 number and as soon as you get through give them your number and ask them to call you. They normally do call back. The waiting time these days is normally only a couple of minutes.

The Guvnor

I have done nothing yet.
I plan on going down from the all in to variety.
This will drop me from €81 to €36.
It is the €36 I am looking to get a deal on.
Will see what I am offered on Saturday.

If you push hard enough you should be able to get the sky world HD package for €55 for nine months, that's pretty much the best offer they'll do

How long after you cancelled were you offered this?
