How?!

 

[Chrisgti6]

£35 a month for Sky Q with sports and movies, plus a second box. That's for the 2tb box too.

 

[Gav_r26]

Just cancelled my sky. Piss taking b******s! £30 for Sky Q, Sports and Movies if you are a new customer, yet £54 for me for just sports and HD with my shitty old box ...... no ta, i'll pass thanks!

Im paying 65-70 a month for virgin. Are there any tricks to getting it cheaper ?

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Nearly had the friends and family discount for 12 months now. Bit w**k that it's an 18 month contract, but the discount only last for 12 months. Means my current deal will go from 45 a month, upto 80

Will 100% be cancelling after 18 months is up though.

You want another code @james24785 ? Might need to change the name or something as you've just had it. I'll fire you an email if you pm me your address.

Tell them you're leaving.

Went online and even with 50%.
Internet. Sports only. (in HD) it was at about £100!! That wasn't even with BT sports on top. Their internet was £35 alone to get any decent speed and unlimited!

how did you even manage that? Did you spec up 8 Sky Q boxes?

50% off of that.

But, seriously, if you want BT Sport, just get BT Broadband then use the option to view on your Sky boxes instead. It will be cheaper that way.

I got the following last night for £65 p/m:

Boxsets Bundle
Q Multiscreen
2 Mini Boxes
Q 2TB Main Box
Sky Fibre Max (upto approx. 80MB)
Line rental with 35% discount for 12 months
Telephone 7pm-7am & weekends free for 1 hour

They discounted the upfront cost a fair bit as well. Fairly happy with that considering it first started at £77 p/m. 50% TV deals are supposed to end this week apparently.

 

[Goodj]

supposed to end this week.

Keyword highlighted.

There'll be another promotion come out that equates to very nearly the same, just via a different mechanic. All part of advertising regulations.

Just you may have to get a pre-paid mastercard, or a TV instead of lowered bills.

 

[Gareth]

Yeah I know, there is always some kind of deal on, although i'd prefer cheaper bills over a TV.

Ah, but you're not a council estate with xmas coming up fast.

 

[Stay Puft]

Moving into new house soon, so weighing up Sky or Virgin. Does anyone know of any good deals? Looking for:
Half decent Internet
TV (Movies and Sports)
X2 boxes

Had a rough look and seems £90 is the norm, which seems a huge amount to me!

 

[Steve]

Sky, £80ish, unlimited fibre & calls eve/weekend, full TV package. Never had a problem in six years, would never go back to BT even if they paid me CS is shite. Virgin don’t seem to get good feedback either.

From what i’ve seen on the packages.. the internet speeds look pretty slow?

 

[Stay Puft]

Best i’ve found so far.. this is with x2 V6 boxes.

 

[Gouldy]

I had phone, 70 mbps Broadband, sky with all sports and movies for free including like rental until recently.

I've to pay £27 a month for it all now which is still good but not as good as free ?

My mam and dad pay a similar price with 2 Sky Q boxes

 

[Stay Puft]

£79 in the end for everything but kids channels, x2 V6 boxes.

 

[JonnyK]

I work for a "compare the market" style company and am partnered up with sky, talktalk and virgin - new customer's PM me Also existing customers who are out of contract with a bad renewal price normally worse than the new customer deals, I have a workaround or two!

So £70 without sports (the most expensive thing) isn’t that good!

I'd check the contract. Ours was 50 quid a month for 12 months, but then went to 100 a month. Problem is it was an 18 month contract, so had 6 months of 100 quid

Yeah I did mate, 12 months of discount, 12 month contract. It was a bloke on FB who set me up, and he said to contact him at 11 months to sort me out. Just as I signed up to this, my mum managed to get everything on sky for £62!
