Deals On Sky TV Service - (Mostly Cancellation deals)

It seems to be difficult enough to do but i think you could get away with it by using a different surname (wife sign up with maiden name) but she would probably need bank account in that name also.

That's an absolute bargain, don't know why you didn't take it.

This would matter to me.

I rang Sky a while back to see if I could save anything but they couldn't help. My €70 bill breaks down to basic package €40, HD €10 and multiroom €20. I don't really want to lose anything.

I recently got a fire stick. Maybe I should just cancel the whole thing.

They must be back on Sales Drive again... got a call to take Sports Package (1+2+BT) + Cinema + HD for €19.98 for 6 months on top of my basic package .....

So took it for the benefit of teh family over Xmas and let the battle begin next May 2023!!!

Not the case of not paying anymore it’s the price they charge. Sky thinking people will pay €40 a month for basic tv is madness. Broadband prices are just going up and up. €70 for broadband is very high. I think €30-50 is fair depending on speed. Most basic speed package will do the vast majority of people. Landline who has just a landline and not a mobile. Very few be my guess.

World Cup has to hurt sky as nobody wants sports during this time. You can watch every game without a tv sub

Sky customer from '03 til '21. Many of those years a quick call to the loyalty team at the end of the contract was enough to secure a good discount for another 12 months....

Last year, got no joy from them and wasn't prepared to pay full whack so went through with a cancellation. They never got back to me 6 weeks after cutoff. Signed up as a new customer for a 50% discount for 12 months and with the added benefit of getting a Sky Q box.

12 month discount about to run out again, called in and only offered a few quid off the full price. After refusing that, offered "Sky Q Lite" for €10 pm which sounds like just the basic satellite channels with recording capability, but no documentaries or box sets. Decided to go through with the cancellation. They no longer put you through to a "last chance saloon" agent who will offer you the same deal you're on or something similar. The model now seems to be let the customer cancel and possible off them 40 or 50% off deal after the cutoff, or just let them cancel and sign back up!

Seems needlessly admin heavy but theyve obviously done it the other way for many years and have decided this makes them more money.

Oh well, it appears to be like motor insurance. All the benefits accrue to new signups so that's the best way to do it.

Not quite but not far off. Tbh, I'm not a big tv watcher anymore but I'm prepared to pay €25 per month max mainly for their fantastic recording facility which means I don't see any ads unless, very occasionally, I'm watching live TV. I can't justify spending anymore than that especially when I'm spending €50 pm in rural Ireland for good broadband and theres plenty of other services, both free and cheaper than Sky, that I can avail of.

My neighbour was in the same boat earlier in the year and they let him cancel to before offering it for €19 pm a few days before the services cancelled. He didnt take them up on it. I think they need to realize that this isnt 2005 anymore. Asking people to pay 35/40/45 pm for their bog standard package isnt realistic when everyone now has broadband and lots of other streaming options.

texted them today. as bill next bill was going to be 43.5 for basic package, best they said you do was 33 for 12months, last year they renew at 28, said that offer was not available to them this year

Didn't feel like waiting on hold, must have been a quiet day, I text at 11 and by 11:15 they made that offer

Cancelled service on Monday. Have received the carboard box to return the Skybox. What's the best way to proceed here if I'm hoping for an offer to stay on at same price as last year? Nothing coming up as regards 12 month "Re-signup" offers on MySky section of the website.

My package is offered to new customers at €25pm. Tried to avail of this using the partners detail's but they use the eircode to check for old customers s and so block you from going down that route, which is a bit ridiculous since it's a different person with a different bank account....

Sit them out for a text or phone call or call them?

It's a few years since I had Sky but there used to be offers for returning customers. I recall ringing one time on the last day before the service was due to be cut off and they could only give 20% off. Rang 2 days later and got 50% off as I was then classed as a returning customer. So the best offers always seemed to be had once the service was gone.

A few months ago a friend of mine who was out of contract negotiated a deal for 21.50 a month for their basic pack including the movies. I do know that offers change every so often so the agents are tied to those but I would suggest giving them a call and see what offers are available. The alternative is to wait it out not knowing if or when they may contact you. You could get a call tomorrow or maybe it could be a couple of months.

you should some auto response back. followed by another message to login your account, followed by few questions to sent you to right department.

Couldn't get the guy off the phone last time I was onto them, guy from the North. He told some lies about FTA channels as well, blamed it on Ireland leaving the E.U lol.

It's been said before but how daft is it, letting a customer leave and then go back to them with an improved offer?

Most people will have made alternative arrangements especially if it's the broadband.

What did they offer you, or did you get that far?

Had Sky TV, 2 Multiroom boxes, all the sports channels with 500mb Broadband which had gone up to €191 a month.

Cancelled and they came back with €138 (12 month contract) for exact same.

Missed the call from sky. They ring at awful times for me. Surprised they’re ringing at the moment with the increase in price getting announced. Imagine going on a round of calls to book people up to nail them with an increase
