Sky need to standardise what they offer to customers on both online and phone agents give out rather than the lottery it has at the moment.

It will never happen mate, If they do that then they will lose out on millions, Take the guy at work for example he had been paying approx £120pm for years until i got him the 60% off last week so he and millions of others would still be paying that now.

If it wasn't for folk seeing threads like this most folk would be paying Sky's full asking price.

Managed to get an additional 10% so 60% on a rolling contract. Wouldn't budge on account credit though said the offer had expired.

Now going to try and get the £90 Q install fee down.

Hearing Lots of people getting the 60% off again now without having to revisit, Appears they went through a 2/3 week stubborn patch and also reducing account credit as got wise to folk using it to cover install fees when upgrading to Q.

If you do get Sky Q the 2TB box will give you more features/benefits than the 1TB box mate not just more storage space.

Yep went for the 2tb box plus a mini. My powers of pursuasion weren't good enough to get any more of the installation so I had to stump up £90 which isn't too bad. Apperantly the installation prices are account specific as I told my friend about my deal and he checked on line and his cost was £199 plus £99 for a mini.

Usually it's folk that have a existing multiroom subscription that get quotes of £199. If he has multiroom tell him to cancel it then he will get Q and a mini for a lower rate. 

Strange but true, you would think folk who have had a multiroom subscriptions would get it cheaper as they have been paying more monthly than non multiroom customers.

Correct, he has the same package as me but he has multiroom.

Bizarre move from sky in that case, maybe it is because they would be getting roughly the same monthly fee from multi room customers when you take into account the extra £12 they are getting from me for the Sky q sub?

Sure is, Just tell him to cancel his multiroom subscription and then apply for Sky Q and he will get it at a lower install rate pal.

You could take the % off offer then upgrade to Q online once they have been applied and the discounts will carry over.

Trouble is you cannot guarantee it will work.

We have multi-room and Sports, but think we pay around £80 per month. Is it likely I could improve on that using the methods above?

Thanks 

[Kingman]

Yup, read the last few pages mate.

If anyones interested in the above i can confirm that once you reinstated Sky HD, you can immediately call up for the Sky Q upgrade and get the discounts transferred over and get the 2TB silver box plus additional mini and installation for 100.00 - Thus cancelled out by the account credit for the first offer of re-activating the subscription.

Having a bit of a think about what to do at the moment. I left Sky just over a year ago and went to BT. I decided I didn't want anything to do with Murdoch and Sky hadn't really done anything proactive to keep me as a customer so it's a bit late to offer me stuff when I'm trying to cancel. Had been a customer for about 10 years before that.

Now my BT subscription is over a year old and I can cancel without any penalty I'm seeing if it's worth putting my morals to one side and being ignorant of who I'm paying my money to.

I only ever watch Netflix and Amazon Prime. I don't really watch live TV any more so all of the extra channels on Sky bundles wouldn't interest me.

I've got BT Infinity 2 which I need for my job so I definitely couldn't downgrade to Sky broadband.

BT are doing the Ultra HD 1TB YouView box for a £49 one off payment, then the full 4k HD package for £14 a month. The line rental is £18.99 and the internet is £25.

I'm assuming the prices for Sky are without line rental? 

Also, with the Sky Q, they don't seem to have Amazon or Netflix players. Is that right?

So as far as I can see at the moment, even with the big discounts, it's still way more expensive than BT, the equipment doesn't have Prime or Netflix apps, and you're supporting Murdoch and Newscorp.

Am I missing something? Why would anyone want to go with Sky?
