What Do You Pay For Sky?

Tue Aug 21, 2012 7:10 am

Just noticed a thread on CCMB (I'm sure the poster won't mind me stealing his topic), for those of you that have Sky, what do you pay a month and for what?

I'm currently paying £26 for basic TV pack, unlimited broadband and calls.

Looking to get the sports pack as well but am certainly not paying the £20 extra a month it costs on their website.

I recently told sky I was quitting as I was paying to much. I have the normal package also sky sports and hd. The bill was around 62 quid a month.
They accepted my 31 day notice. Which did suprise me but at the Sam time I am so stubborn I would not go bk on my word.
However 2 weeks before my time was up I got a call offering me all my package fr half price for 12 months and no contract.

This is the new way sky are dealing with it as to many people are trying it on but not going through with it.

Even if you give your 31 day notice you can still go bk and canel that. So give it a go.

I have unlimited Internet for 7.50, fee evening and weekend calls, linerental for £1 for the year, multi room for £10 have sky sports package for £5 for first 6 months, and normal sky package which is about 20 plus music and the odd extra for the £1 extra stuff. Don't have espn and don't have movies.

Had just basic tv package with them for just a couple of years. Then started adding Internet and tv. Make a point of complaining every 6 months. Always go through to cancelations and have the balls to go through with it. They will always offer you something. They get paid commission for keeping you at the cancelations dept.

I war hd package next, but no way I'm paying for it.

My Sky+ box packed in recently. When I called them up they wanted £15 to send an engineer round, I said no, thinking they would then send him around for free (as they usually do). But it didn't happen this time so now I'm without Sky :lol: I guess they're not as desperate to hang onto customers as they used to be.

Thanks for all the replies.

Looks like I will be playing the sob story to see if I can get Sky Sports as cheaply as I can.

Re: What Do You Pay For Sky?

Tue Aug 21, 2012 5:32 pm

I pay 50 quid or so. Have sky sports and movies. I only have movies cos they gave it to me for free when I wanted to cancel sports cos I couldbt afford it.

Sky are a joke.

It should be one price for everyone, its all a load of bollocks and
I did here they are cutting down on the offers soon and letting people cancel
if they want as they know they will come back as there is no other option.

They have you over a barrel basically.

At the end of the day, without meaning to sound harsh if you cant afford it, don't have it.

Having Sports etc is a luxury product at the end of the day, you wouldn't go into Tesco and say, excuse me,
im a little short on cash this month, any chance I can have this crate of Stella for the price of a Tesco Everyday Value crate,
Tidy, Thanks.

£26.50 for sky world, no HD, just added espn for three months free. 12 months half price runs out at beginning of December, will cancel and wait for another 12 months half price offer. Longest I've ever had to wait for offer letter is 6 weeks, shortest 2 weeks. Going to be more difficult this year because it will be switched off over Christmas.
