M-Dudz Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Just about to trade up from Virgin's Ti-Vo to Sky. I know they do deals with different customers, and was just wondering what people on here pay and what they get? Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members lambyUK Posted January 30, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2012 The thing is, prices with Sky are the same with everyone no matter what people say. Â However, what you can do is make sure you ask for a deal when signing up. Â I got 6 months free line rental when I first signed up. After a while you can threaten to downgrade and they will often knock money off as well. Â However, make sure you sign up to quidco first before signing up to Sky. You will get about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darepool Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 If you call up the new customers phone line and say you want to think about it, they will almost certainly 90% of the time offer you something to make you sign on the dotted line. After 12 months of your contract is up you can cancel and try and get a deal. Â My one bit of advice is don't sign up with sky through one of the sky stalls you see in shopping centres.

Smegma Cake Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 85 quid a month multi room, broadband unlimited, phone, Sky HD+ in one room and normal Sky in the other. My brother pays the bill so he's got the HD+ package while the other is the normal package. Both with movies, sports etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick "Madman" Kelly Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I work for Sky so I pay nothing for any of the services they offer. I do actually pay for Box office movies but they are subsidised at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I don't have Sky. Deliberate decision, as my new house even has a satellite dish. I've got a PVR for Freeview, and get more tv than I can shake a stick at. Anything that does happen to be on Sky, like the odd WWE thing or Game Of Thrones, I just d/l and watch anyway. Â Every time I've investigated Sky, it's always seemed like a ridiculous waste of money that you'd only ever get vague value from if you literally never left your house and watched tv 12 hours a day. And if you do that, presumably you can't AFFORD satellite tv anyway, as you're presumably unemployed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted January 30, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2012 I have unlimited internet, line rental with evening and weekend calls and the basic TV package with skyplus. Though I have a HD box just no HD pack, but I can still watch some HD content (BBC for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
