Deals On Sky TV Service - (Mostly Cancellation deals)

ak4

So I have discounted sky tv for 9 months along with sky talk and broadband which was half price for the first three months. After getting my first bill for the full price sky broadband and talk and it was well over €100...I rang up earlier and they offered me my package minus sky sports for 81 euro or my package with SAM for 96 euro... Both of these prices are too expensive in my opinion. I'm interested in just getting rid of my sky tv for a while.

Got a call from the sales team today - 50% off any package and HD for the next 12 months, no contract. So variety pack + HD for €25.50 a month.

After ringing Sky to cancel my contract today they tried to offer me a 20% discount, but after listening to the offer I still decided to leave, so was put through to cancellations where I was offered half price Sky for six months, I caved in😕 maybe I should have played some more hardball.

Has anyone tried to avail of this offer?

I'm tempted as I qualify as a new customer, I hate calling them unless I'm sure it is available

I got the flyer also. The details are all as posted above. You get a free 1 Tb box with built in wifi and 25% off any of their packs. Contract period is 1 year and while the box is free you pay €30 upfront for "standard" installation.

This thread is great for existing customers but i don't know will new customers do any better than 25% off from the start. Looks a good deal.

I don't want the movies bundle, just sports. doesn't seem to be part of the deal.

has ringing up and 'cancelling' worked with any other companies out of interest? The folks phone and broadband is up now with Vodafone and was wondering could this technique work to knock a few quid off.

always works, go onto bonkers.ie and do dome research re price etc and ring up your existing supplier, say your cancelling as you have a better deal elsewhere.

I just noticed on the uk sky site new customers get 50% off any blindly for a year!!!!

They really know how to ride the Irish

My sis in law got sky as a new customer last week and she got 50% off for six months! Not sure how she managed that as I don't think she is the type to haggle.

IrishHomer

I wonder if I called the uk number and looked for the uk 50% off offer perhaps I'll get lucky as I recall in the past when you call them some uk staff get mixed up and treat ROI customers like UK?

I rang yesterday to cancel, got put through to the loyalty team. I went with the I am going to switch to UPC angle.

The agent offered me a couple of reductions on certain packages but nothing that I wanted, so I went ahead with the cancellation. Once he processed the cancellation I was transferred to another agent who straight away offered me 50% off for 6 months. Music to my ears, so I accepted the offer. I have HD, full entertainment & sports package for €43.50 a month.

Just wondering has anybody had any joy getting a new 2 TB Sky Box off them at a cheap price. I meant to ask but totally forgot.

I'm going to call their bluff tomorrow,what number did you use? I'm paying €79 pm for variety,movies and multi room. I would like HD but it interferes with the card trick so I'll stay with SD. 50% off for 9 months would be brilliant.

I used this number (0818) 210 103 & they transferred me to the loyalty team when I said I want to cancel.

Best of Luck.

Many thanks will keep you posted.

Just off the phone to them. 20% off the variety and movies, plus half price multi-Room for 9 months,no contract. My bill has dropped from €79 pm to €58.50 pm. Not bad at all.

And to be honest I didn't ask for anything extra. I just asked for the offer. I only had to pay a e10 deposit and I'll get that refunded on my first bill.

Was your notice period up, I'm due to be cut off on 13th so wondering I could expect a call.
BTW what do people think of UPC, the Horizon Max appears to be good value with SKY sports & mulitroom for €45 p.m. for 6 months. I heard there was a few issues with it which makes me reluctant to switch

j timber

I have just been on to sky and eventually they agreed to terminate my contract.they were only offering me 1/2 price sports for three months.
looks like i will have to wait for the call or just do without..!!

Horizon is beyond bad. I got rid of it after a month. Have a look at the threads on here. It's slow and has so many issues.

I did, I only cancelled my HD last month as my half price for a year ran out.

We never watch box sets, download them if we want them, so not a biggie here, himself said everyone mst be cancelling,

But they are offering half price for a year,

Sweet, I'm on the countdown to my cancellation cut-off date, where on your My Sky login will this off be ? I'd probably upgrade to Sports if I got 50% off

tinofapples

Got an email overnight "Where did we go wrong" asking me to complete a survey in relation to my cancellation.

To respond or not respond ??

peking97

Respond by saying the service is too expensive.
That'll do the trick!

Was wondering that myself beforehand. It'll be there once you click 'My Sky' tab.

whiteshorts

I got this letter yesterday but on mine, it also said "we are giving you FREE SKY+HD until end of April!"
After that it will be automatically cancelled.
That is on top of a half price offer on everything that is still going .
So not only will I be able to watch the boxsets but I'll also get FREE HD until April (if I still have Sky ).
Must have a look and see when the half price offer expires.

I got the same and just completed, basically giving the opinion that the service is not value for money and that SKY need to look after their existing long-standing customers.
Which is actually true and I will be letting the cancellation stand unless I get that 50% off offer.

35% for 12 months for now.

So has everyone who cancelled or threatened to cancel received the 50% offer?

Never failed to get 50%
If I need new equipment for any reason just re-join as a new member, new box remote and dish if needed
Sky isn't worth the money at full price

SEORG

Disconnected yesterday, 50% with UK number was on My Sky page yesterday....gone today..........what is the usual wait time for them to contact customers after cancellation?
