Advice to anyone with sky sports

I phoned to cancel and they offered £5 off for 6 months...I declined and we agreed a cancellation date.

Two days later they emailed and offered sky sports for half price over 6 months if I agreed to stay.

So it's worth a bit of a 'poker stand off' if you want a reduction...if they call your bluff then you can always reinstate it anytime.

Q How much is sky sports a month. Yesterday got a letter saying Sky was going up 3.50 pound a month. I've got full package films lot. Got free Broadband, sky talk got a reduction on that. Knocked me 7.50 pound a month off.

I've just dumped Sports & Movies, and also moved my phone and broadband back to BT, and if it wasn't for the fact that many of the channels we watch are only on Sky then I would get rid of the TV.

Overall the service they provide is excellent, but there's no way I am subsidising that ridiculous Premier League deal that they have signed!

quite a coincidence that kempo old boy because im with virgin and i called to cancel my subscription yesterday and they reduced my sky sports by £10 a month for a full year and also not extending my current contract with which im happy about as it finishes in sept so i will be looking for a decent deal elsewhere.

I pay 47 quid a month for everything. Upgraded a couple of years ago to HD multi room. They had a deal on then for sports, movies sky go etc... Normal price 79 quid. You sign up for a year and I have safely negotiated the same package since I upgraded to HD. They do try and sell you the benefits of having the movies and all the extras but I just said all I wanted to keep was the sports and not to pay any extra than I was already paying. Eventually after realising I wasn't going to pay more they suddenly found the same offer they originally gave me!

I think the trick is not to have your broadband with them as they have you by the short and curly's if you do.
