jailender Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Hardly a surprise though, given the ridiculous price they (and BT) paid for the "best league in the world". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldo Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 In the letter they say they are writing to tell you of the increase and why, without actually telling you why! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantP Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Had Sky Sports just for the cricket World Cup there. When I phoned to cancel the guy reacted like I'd asked to eat his first born. Took 10 mins of me saying no thanks over and over before they finally processed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) So your Annual Sky subscription = Monthly Subscription x 12 = How much? Then divide that number by 0.65 to work out what on average you must earn before tax to pay for it. Then divide that number by your gross (pre-tax) annual wage to know what 'tithe' you are paying to Rupert Murdoch's Church of Lies. Cancel Sky. You will not regret it.

thplinth Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 So glad you're here. For some reason you seem to have edited the question so it is not a question. So your Annual Sky subscription = Monthly Subscription x 12 = How much? Are you one of the phannies on here selling sky subscriptions?

Guest flumax Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I pay less than £30pm for unlimited broadband, phone line rental including free evening and weekend calls (don't say use mobile, get no signal round it way) and basic TV. If you can find me bb and line rental for substantially less I'll cancel.I've looked and not many carriers, and those that do want connection charges or new lines which scrub out any savings. Plus the inconvenience of changing number. I actually value a couple of channels on top, and as I agree for paying for couple of quid for creative output such as GoT, walking dead, fortitude etc, it would have to be substantial increases to make me cancel. I think I get good value from sky all in all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Return of Yermaw Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm £35 a month for BT. Took it for the broadband/infinity package and got free BT sports with it. I think after a year BT sports sill free but not sure if that is linked to the £5.99 tv package the missus made me take out. To be honest would happily cancel the tv package and if that meant losing BT sports so be it (if linked). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLAS Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 There's more ways of getting your fitba' fix than Sky. Funny how the Polish satellite channels often show more EPL games than Sky at only £10 a month. Maltese cable provider GO Sports show every single EPL game live regardless of kick-off time. 3pm Saturday's - nae bother. Again, £10 monthly. BeIN Sports - more fitba' than you can shake a stick at. Might be difficult to pick up in Scotland, but it has every event you'll wish to watch. £20-odd a month. You guys are getting blatantly ripped off. As always, I'd recommend a Dreambox/VU+ (or cheaper clone) with a motorised satellite dish (you can use your Sky one - just affix a cheap motor). Get a €50 yearly subscription and you'll wonder why you didn't do it years ago. Would cost around 2 or 3 months Sky subscription. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I pay £40 month for unlimited broadband, phone line and sky package minus movies plus BT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugitive Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I phoned up PlusNet to cancel my subscription to move to BT and they gave me unlimited broadband and BT Sports HD and ESPN HD for £4.50/month for 2 years fixed. I phoned SKY the next day and told them to shove it, 2 days later they came back and halved my subscription - between the 2 I save over £40 a month.

Just keep threatening to switch /cancel and they offer what they can. I did have sky sports at £6 pm for 3y, but they cottoned on about 6m ago and didn't call my bluff. So I cancelled. Don't miss it (much). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Col Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 now there's a surprise I can't get talking to somebody that will cancel me i've been advised its a 30 minute wait to talk to somebody and the live chat thingy is always showing as busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
