Don’t forget you will need the upgraded UHD Q boxes for ultra HD to work.

f**k me. £96pm is the best they did for the same package as above for me after about a month of dealing with them. I took it on the basis I wanted the F1 for the weekend there but considering telling them to FO now after looking at that HUKD link.

I have the latest 2TB downstairs & 1TB upstairs, all TV's in house are linked & can watch different programmes simultaneously.
My Parents have one of my five SkyGo passes & they can also watch in a different location

Having 100GB phone contract means I can also watch on my device while walking the dog

Some on that HUKD I have no idea how they got it that cheap, I have everything we need for the next 18 months & full price is something crazy like £160 -190 so I am happy.

I had to cancel my contract & be prepared to walk away - BT TV is shite & BT Sport is in tak over talks - also working from home I could not really afford to be cut off!!

Worked for me - six phone calls & four live chats & a cancellation order placed, GL.

It’s nothing to do with that, it’s to do with the type of Q box you have.
It only takes a minute to check but it’s worth knowing if your paying for something you can’t use.

Out of seven versions there are currently only two Q boxes that can use ultra HD 👍

Whenever I watch films or sports in HD I get an option to watch in UHD so I have UHD

I have exactly the same thing but my Q Box is old so I don’t get the true UHD, I’m looking at upgrading soon 👍

Steve · May 12, 2021

Mine were all replaced 18 months ago

I moved house a little over two years ago but mine aren’t right, check the link.

Ben · May 12, 2021

Seeing as I’m essentially renting the Sky Q box, can they upgrade me on to a newer one without changing anything to do with my contract?

Steve · May 12, 2021

32B205

Ben · May 12, 2021

£99 to upgrade to get the 1TB 32B2XX version. Or £25 because I’m a loyal customer 😂 no thanks.

Ian_182 · May 12, 2021

My main point was to make sure your not paying for uhd if your box doesn’t support it because the cheeky feckers at sky will let you spend your pennies and not tell you 👍

rctempire · May 17, 2021

That's how all renewals work, they hope you just forget and continue paying.

FatRS · Dec 15, 2021

Cancelled sky after being with them for 15 years, and not a single effort to offer me anything to stay. Nothing online since either after 10 days or so.

yeah same as me, been with them same time as you and i was amazed more than shocked that they didn't give you deals on a silver platter. Haven't been back with them for about 10 years now. Even trying to cancel Sky was a very hard job too. Was very annoyed with the whole process

That is weird. Been away from them for a few years. Got an ok offer at time of cancelling.

But then about 2 weeks later got offered TV package which was about £20 for £1 for a year.

Maybe they are short of bodies? Covid? Resignation? WFH?

rctempire · Dec 24, 2021

They should be hounding you really. Sounds like you'll be targeted soon, if you have a wife or partner get them to start a new deal in their name.

Nothing so far. Only got until jan 4th anyway. No intention of staying though but was interested that they appear to have changed tact perhaps.

J-J · Dec 24, 2021

I left them a couple of months ago. Guy offered something half arsed and said another team may be in touch.

I told him to make sure it's within the month as I have a new service starting the day I leave. Lo and behold, 4 weeks into my new contract with a n other they called to offer me a super duper deal.

Surely they know they need to catch you before you sign elsewhere? Especially with the Internet.

Did I imagine there was a Simialr thread but for Virgin media?

That is there standard, 4 weeks is generally the time they call back up. No idea why timewise but it is.

Very strange in that aspect.

Virgin existing customer deals?

Does anyone work for Virgin? My usual package is 100mb broadband at £27 a month, but my contract is out 09/01/21 and they have upped it to £49 a month which is a pisstake. New customers can get the same deal on 18m contract for £27. I'm happy to sign up to an 18m contract, but do they honestly...

This?

Possibly , my renewal came through at almost twice what I currently pay

Was paying £59, randomly went up to £60 this month then I’m at the end of my contract. Phoned up to sort out renewal…£96. Said no thanks. Put through to cancellations who reduced to £74. Still cancelling. Not sure I will get better than that though.

Ay Ay Ron · Jul 8, 2022

Mines currently £69 (sky & internet). Had an email saying best they can do is £110.
Will have to give them a call I think.

If it’s anything like my experience, the first call will get you nowhere!

Time to get a dodgy box then I think and a good fibre provider.

c4pob · Jul 8, 2022

For context, I have:
HD
UHD
Netflix
Signature
Multi Room
Sports
Cinema
Kids

Paul172sport · Jul 31, 2022

Are sky sending out better deals days or weeks later like the did or are they happy we walk nowadays

For
Signature
Ultimate
Kids
By sport
Hd and ultra HD
Mulitroom
Super fast BB

I'm at about 94 per month. Come April price raise what will be back over 100.

That is some deal good on getting that.

jenic · Oct 3, 2022

My current deal is up so I've called and given notice, they came back with:

Sky Signature + Netflix
HD + UHD
Sky Sports
Superfast BB

£72.50

Still doesn't seem worth it, it's about what I pay at the moment but I don't think I use it enough to warrant the cost currently, I just like the UI.

I have pretty much exactly the same package as that, just with multi room, and I pay £82.50.

I reckon you / I could have got it cheaper but I couldn’t be bothered to play the “I’m gonna cancel” game and then wait them out to see what they’d reduce it to the closer it got to D Day. That said I reckon next year I will as like you I don’t really use most of it barring Netflix and the occasional football match.
