I can probably help with that if you wanted....
Bin it off and get NowTV. £21 a month for access to all Sky Sports. Cancel whenever

Sports is more than that on NowTV… no? Considerably more.
Sorry yes, it’s appears to be £34.99 at the moment.
I grabbed their “deal” in March which is £19.99 for 9 months, which I thinks pretty good considering I only want F1 channel really.
If you join at the right time it’s pretty good value if paying is the only option

How did you get on? I have an almost identical package and am being quoted over £60 for renewal.
Do they still play the game where if you threaten to cancel they give you a better offer?

Few people I know have had bonkers renewal quotes and have either ended up cancelling or moving to Sky Stream because they couldn’t negotiate anything close to acceptable.
That said, I’ve just renewed, similar package to above plus Sky Sports for £65 which is only a tenner more than my last bundle and this time I have multiroom so I have no idea what their business model is right now.

I cancelled mine. Went from £67 with BB to £130 ish. Phoned and the offers were dismal so told them to piss off.
3 weeks in I got a letter offering signature, sports, kids and HD for £37 so went with it. Ended up at £42 once the other bits of s**t were on. They would only take £5 off BB so went to a three 5g mobile broadband thing for £16.67 a month.

I honestly think it’s to piss people off. They seem determined to move people to sky glass which is just a no-go as I don’t want one of their shitty TVs.
Even trying to just buy sky q as a new customer through their website is almost impossible, especially on a mobile device.
I didn’t used to mind paying for sky but now they’ve lost so much content to Dinsney+, Amazon prime, Netflix, discovery+ etc it doesn’t feel like even close to good value. All I watch on sky now is the sport and basically just use the box to access the apps for other stuff

Exactly how I feel, I'm going to cancel mine when the renewal comes up and find F1 from another source.
NowTV is a decent shout if you get their annual offer for £20 per month. All Sky Sports. Saves having to pay the silly prices for their packages if you’re not keen anymore

Cheers, either that or a VPN and the official F1 thing.
Had to wait 2 weeks before I had a call (which I missed) and then an email to say they had an offer for me ... managed to get them down to £44 a month so basically what I was paying before.
I probably could have got a better deal if I had waited it out a little longer but just wanted to get it locked in to make sure we had something.

Weird one, virgin media (signed contract in November 2022) went up from £55 to £70. Turns out my deal was £85 per month with a £30 credit. The first lady couldnt explain the RPI applied onto the account aswell as the 3.9% increase VM applied. So turns out it was 13.4% (Total 17.3%) . Then the call dropped off.
So current situation was £100 - £30 Credit = £70
Called back for the second time, and the lady reduced it and honoured same contract I was on.
Dropped it back to the £55 with removal of a telephone package I don't use.
I was boggled and still am, how she kept me in the same contract but make it the same price. Either way, soon as its done. im off to anyone who supplies Gigabit Fibre. One year to go really.
Advise given is, call up virgin if your in contract see if they will honour their first contract you signed.

I find now tv has a significant delay on the streams. Like a minute or so
I use it on the app on my ipad.
I use it on my bt you view box too. Not sure what the delay is like on there but picture quality on both is good.
I only use it for sport
On webchat to Sky just now. Been out of contract for ages paying £90 a month and needed it sorted.
It's taken the guy 45 minutes to come back and tell me the best offer they can do is £94pm plus a £20 admin fee?!
and has tried to sell it to me by saying that it includes the price difference from April '24 onwards. So 8 months away then yeah? f**king clowns

Sky just don’t seem interested in renewals atm spent a good hour on the phone trying to sort it but
I’ve ended up going over to virgin @ £74pm for
Max it TV package (all channels basically)
TNT sports
Netflix subscription
Gigabit Broadband
Two TV boxes
Landline (even tho we won’t use it)
Sky’s “best” offer would have been over £130

I'm hoping they still do that. I've just told them to cancel it too, so the waiting game begins.
Eventually got down to £70 but that was dropping multiroom. Tbh, it isn't bad, considering it includes Netflix which would be £15.99pm anyway, so really only £54 for the TV with Sports, Cinema & UHD. UHD sports is about the only reason I'm with them though, so it's worth a punt on the cancellations to see if they get anything better.
That looks similar to the deal I seen online with Virgin. We already have their broadband and going on that basis I could probably get an equivalent to my Sky TV package for about another 50 quid a month.
Do you know if the nNtflix sub through Virgin is the standard HD or 'premium' UHD?

Ye the offer online I saw was for new customers and a pretty similar price but they couldn’t “match” it apparently Netflix sub is standard, it’s an extra £5 to have premium.

Can I view Netflix in 4K Ultra HD?
To view Netflix content in 4k Ultra HD, you will need to upgrade your plan to the Netflix Premium plan (for an additional monthly cost). You can do this via your MyVM account or directly with Netflix once you have completed registration.
Answer is, HD, unless upgraded.
Had the cancellation call from Sky today. Wasn't expecting much but they've actually came back with a decent offer.
Sky Signature with Netflix included, UHD, Sky Sports, Sky Cinema and Multiroom for £58 a month. Fucked multiroom off, which brought it down to I think £50 or £51pm.
I probably could've tried to haggle them down more but considering if I never had a TV package I'd spunk £15.99 on Premium Netflix anyway, effectively only paying another £35pm for Sky Cinema and Sports in UHD seemed a good deal.

The UHD on a decent screen is where it’s at.
Watching in HD now like wearing beer goggles
Nice little surprise to the deal I got above when I checked my updated billing. Once they've took off the multiscreen it's somehow come down to £43.50 a month! Not complaining at that. Forgot that as well as Netflix I'm also getting Paramount+ and Discovery+ access through Sky too, not that I've ever really watched anything on either of them.
Insane that they have basically halved the monthly price of my package from what was the 'best offer' I was being offered before.
