I've no land line (Well I have a VM land line), I wonder would the £20 cover the cost of reinstating the BT line....

this is so. hot.

Great deal I'm with plusnet currently would I have to pay them anything if I leave? I'm not sure if I am still contracted with them as I've been using them for several years.

could you add tv calls etc on to this?

hot ..warm in here this morning

Thank you!

Hot, thanks OP

sounds too good to be true..

I just keep getting
this form is invalid

£20 will cover cost for reinstating existing line

Have a read through later with this, thanks op :smiley:

might get a second adsl line at this price!

Hot!! thanks OP. Moving house on Friday and was going to take the previous deal of free broadband for 12 months with the 100 pound m & s card. This is miles better!

Omg a new customer is getting deal for existing! Do you reckon i should phone up to complain about this to see if i can wave my way to see if i could get this? I am existing customer paying £16.40 line rental and free 12months bb with sky

Sky are rubbish for everything

If you have just signed up to sky tv would you count as a new customer for the broadband?

Just found the answer and it appears to be no.

Sky use llu rather than wlr
The negative side is that If you ever want to move back to WLR, eg BT, there will be a fee. Maybe £75-100

Wish I hadn't signed up for Sky TV now. Even though I'm being paid £44.50 profit to take out 12 months of free Sky TV I would've liked to have taken this up! :disappointed:

I think I'm being a bit blonde here folks...
can this work for new customers, I have nothing at the minute..no landline, no broadband.
but I do have an existing line it just needs reactivating..

Great deal.
I wounder if you can use any of the cash back companies?

Awesome deal if you have Sky and LLU in your exchange we only have BT equipment. Gutted. 35 miles from central London and get zero mobile signals and **** broadband at the most expensive rates.

service depleted?

sorry if im being thick but ive had Sky Tv for years, but we're leaving at end of June as too expensive but we are looking for a new broadband supplier as fed up of Talk Talk(current provider). we havent had Sky broadband fir many years. Are we eligible for this offer?

The page to redeem the offer is http://m.shop.sky.com/offercode/. I've just tried and it goes through now.

ring em and tell them your leaving say talktalk my fibre has dropped to £10 for unlimited fibre and they dropped my family pack to £10 for £12 contract ,,theres alway retention deals on sky which they repeat every year you threaten to leave and unlike BT they never say BYE

17mb in 2015 is shamefull down a copper wire haha

virgin all the way skys broadband is garbage thats why there trying to give it away for free

There's no more left...

I doubt they can match this deal.

As an existing customer I tried the live chat feature on the contact us page. They seem eager to please for good feedback at the end with the form. They offered me £10 of line rental, free broadband unlimited both for 12month and 40% off sky variety for 6 months and 60% off sky tv package. My mam tried and got the same and with different advisor.
I only asked to downgrade broadband unlimited then he asked my ideal budget then said offers on account. Worth giving it a go. Much better and easier than over the phone. They help you out more!

where is the link

Ta Martin and OP.

I have the impression that there is/are very few people on this type of contract. We have been with Sky for 20 months ( currently out of contract ) with this type of setup. And very satisfied too!
Reason for thinking is that a couple of months ago Sky rang and spoke to my wife and offered fibre, but because we don't D/L movies it would be a no gain situation, we currently get between 14 to 15 MBps. When the saleman realised we had BB only he expressed amazement as we where the first of this type he had spoken to. We are in N.Ireland and are very impressed with the service.

do u get telephone line rental discount too ?

Moving house this week so this will do nicely. With plus net at the minute if the try to match it might be tempted to have 2 at this price! Can't say no to a deal even if not needed!!!!

There's nothing wrong with Sky Broadband and their customer service & tech support is better than most. Very good deal from Martin.

Leaving Sky very soon. When I rang to cancel, they weren't bothered. The cheapest they could offer me was £48 per month compared to the £24 p/m I was paying. Managed to get a 12 months Virgin Media deal for Phone + broadband -50mb for £16pm

Great deal if you can cope with their speeds!

It's sky people f in joke

Great deal.

Will there be any difference in speeds compared to BT

Ive had Sky for 2 years but im leaving. Could i redeem this offer in my partners name as we live together? Sky was in my name

I cannot bring myself to subscribe to the Sky Empire for Global Domination. Rupert Murdoch. The far-right Sun newspaper. Phone hacking. Sometimes it's not just about money.

It doesn't show the correct price when you enter your code. Mine says £16.40 a month

Great now that BT and $ky are slogging it out, the deals just get better and better.

you have to wait till friday to get half line rental discount

Broadband is terrible ..

Not a bad deal cost wise but Sky BB is terrible. 2-3Mb download speeds majority of the time and forever losing service. Not voted either way.

You never "blagged" anything. This £100 credit has been arriving with other junk mail at my house over the past few weeks, twice in fact.

The supplied router is the worse bit of kit i've had the shame to have in my home mind.

Took the cashback offer with EE last year so basically been paying £2.50 a month for internet - considering doing this or upgrading to fibre.

what number did you call?

I recommend all considering leaving sky to visit 'misc' and see how many wonderful deals customers are offering after refusing initial offers by sky.

Have been with them for about 2/3 years now, always managed to get free broadband when renewing the contract,(just have to pay line rental), consistently getting 15-20mbps, great customer service, no complaints, I've still got about 5 months before my contract is up, is it possible to use this deal at all?

good deal

Great if you are a new customer. I only left 9 Months ago sadly.

cessation charge of £30 apparently if I leave plusnet on a current contract plus other fees. Lol I knew this wouldn't be my lucky day.

£6 per month!! Woohoo......until I read how bad Sky BB really is, no wonder its so cheap.

Comment this might help, ring sky and tell them you want to leave plusnet and join sky, they either offer to pay the cancellation fee or will send you high street vouchers for the amount you have to pay for the cancellation, talk to someone in the broadband sales, not to customer services as they will just tell a bunch of crap

This is what you COULD end up with!!! Its slower than dialup lol!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOz71wdKtdU

"Up to 17mb download speeds" :smile:

I just left Sky (was getting 5.5mb max) and with Virgin I usually get at least 70mb through wifi and around 140mb on a wired connection, for a similar price.

i don't have a bt line. last time i enquired they wanted £150 to install a new line. has things changed?

I'm expecting lots of Sky deals in the near future, especially ones to tie in tv sports fan customers before they realise sky sports won't have the Champions league.

Also, Sky fibre broadband is not fibre optic

Anyone have any idea if i would be able to add fiber to this at a later date and just pay the 20 extra a month fiber normally is? Seems to good a deal to pass up but i dont think i can deal with the slow speeds

Been away from Sky >12mths as took a year's contract with PlusNet. Just tried to exploit a new customer deal and their site directed me to ring to complete the deal as I previously had an account with them, meaning I was unable to complete it online. Great deal if you can get it though.
I ended up going with DirectSaveTelecom.

Channels are too much though.

shame they don't do anything for existing customers, maybe we should all leave sky

Good deal but I have always had issues with sky services - they Customer support isn't great but the £ of this deal is!! Voted Hot anyways!


MSE FTW

Lol! Sounds like you work for them and have been severely brainwashed! :laughing:

This is rather amusing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0sdJyoCY2U

Sounds a great deal, I just got my Code, just wonderin' if it might work for existin' Sky Customers!

£6 is still overpriced. The worst broadband provider I have ever used.

That's all it's worth. Internet connection is rubbish!

I have had two issues with the BB in the last 3 years and both times I have been put through to knowledgeable techies to resolve the issue. Turns out when the house was built 3 years ago a cowboy fitted the sockets and nicked/broke one of the wires and made an intermittent fault. luckily I wasn't charged and service is fine. I would have virgin if they were available as the ~10Mb is a bit poor in these days, but that is not their fault.

Could someone help - i'm not too technical.

I don't have a landline installed - would I need to get one in order to get this deal, and if so, how much would I be paying for line rental?

Great price but it says a lot when they are giving broadband away for a year I've just switched to VM from sky and I'm currently getting download speeds between 70-95mb where as with sky the best I ever had was 6mb so consider that before taking the plunge

Nope, work for EE actually

Is this new broadband customer or tv as we have Sky TV but not broadband.

It does make me laugh how everyone says provider X is better than provider Y for ADSL. It's the same service - BT Wholesale.

Oh yes, duh me lol. Either way if its rubbish then 50p pm is too much.

Sorry to hear that.

1GB mmmmmmmmmmm :smile:

https://www.hyperoptic.com/offers-broadband/?callwinid=79629&awc=5737_1434533120_c897dc02d605d2c3bb4c1ae49eb0ae2a

17mb next seasons FIFA 16 could be (more) infuriating. Could be useful bargaining tool with Virgin.

I'm seriously considering but purely as a back up connection.

I currently have Virgin Media, but for the sake of £6 I will be comfortable knowing I will have a second connection regardless how slow the speeds are on Sky.

Looking to move in next few weeks - can you claim offer provisionally for future?

I find it funny that people are recommending PlusNet instead of Sky. It definitely depends on area, I moved from Sky who offered great service and support with good speeds to PlusNet as they offered a cheaper faster fibre package. No end of problems with my phone line since. The broadband has been fine but the phone line dodgy as hell. My brother did the same move and he is 25 miles away from me, exact same issues. PlusNet ported both our numbers over from Sky incorrectly and as a result we have been stuck with problem after problem. Mine are mostly resolved now, but I do have a slight crackle on my line still even with new handsets that has only appeared since the switch.

Worth noting that broadband speeds and reliability may be questionable, I have this package of broadband in my house and after switching from basic VM it is nothing in comparison. Can't even stay connected when more than 10ft away from the router, and even when in range, speed is so slow.

Thank you so much. Just to confirm, £26 per month or the whole year?

Is this really - free broadband for 1 year, and 50p line rental a month?

i'm a bit apprehensive in going for this, seems too good to be true. what's the catch?

How much of a pain is it to take sky to another address? I probably won't be at this address for a year.

Which recommended for the 18th consecutive time.

https://www.zen.co.uk/home-office/broadband/home-office-broadband.aspx?page=38

HI, anyone know what the minimum contract term is here?

Thanks.

just had sky broadband for a year and it was pants, every day it went down.

so when shall i call them? i have the code.

Just for anyone who cares to know. I get 24mbps download speed on sky, I'm close to the exchange and therefore translates to 2.5MBps download. No traffic shaping too.

My mother has been with SKY having broadband and telephone only for a few years now but does anyone know if she qualifies for this? (Shes not had TV with them for a few years now just broadband and telephone so it would mean shes out of contract with them but still a sky customer) Anyone in this situation that can confirm this is a valid offer for them?

I understand that this is a 12 month contract, but do Sky have anything in their T&C's that allows them to increase the price over the 12 months?

You're confusing bits and bytes. 17Mbps = 2.125MBps. They only advertise 'up to' these speeds. WiFi can also affect speeds.

Thanks! I'll look into this. I was just thinking of having it there until I needed it as purely a back up, but I will take a look at that

Can you replace the sky router? I've had it since last week and it is useless if you move 7+ metres away!!!

Yes, they can increase it.

Anyone know if this Sky phone package includes free weekend calls?

Another offer Sky are doing for new customers is
TV bundles from £20 a month
+ free 32" LG TV or £100 reward
Sky Broadband Unlimited for £3.75 a month for 12 months
(then £7.50 a month)
Sky Talk & Line Rental (at £16.40 a month)

can you do this type of deal for SKY HD please. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks op.

Am I correct in saying you only pay £6 for a year or is it each month?

not really a saving though, you'll pay the savings back in phone bills ringing up with service troubles? :laughing:

This is amazing , got a question if anyone knows, I am renting a flat that I'm only likely to be in for the next 6 months. Would it be possible to move mid way through and take this deal with me ? Any idea of the costs ?

Anyone know if you can take this offer then take out another offer online for just sky tv??

Im moving house and currently cancelling virgin media.

I have just signed to sky with tcb and waiting for the cashback, anyone know if I can do this as well ? I am paying £16 a month DD

What does that mean & why is that important?

I was stuck in a broadband contract with them for a year. The connection was so poor I was unable to stream YouTube videos at 480p. Their branded router constantly crashed/failed and was replaced twice throughout the year. Every time I called them for support I got the same long-winded robo-script that always concluded with the operator suggesting I was the party at fault and that any issues with the connection were at my end, not theirs.

I suspect it was never installed correctly as the connection speeds were poor from day one - the problem is you're not able to complain about this until 2 weeks after installation, by which time Sky's engineers will have apparently finalised the connection.

Never again.

Im with EE with 3 months left off my contract. Will I be charged if I wanted to cancel and change to sky? Will I be charged to move phone line to sky?

i shall treat that question with the contempt it deserves......

Smacking hot deal - I just took Sky last week with the 100 M&S voucher and possible 90 cashback - which if paid would work out to 14 quid or so for a year - this one is better as no hassle of waiting for the cashback or being saddled with a M&S voucher which you may not want to use.

this looked good until I checked cancellation charges on talk talk - scary!

It says you can fill in the form now to receive your special code for the offer RTFS

To all the haters, Sky isn't that bad, use them, move after a year...then comment.

http://www.sky.com/shop/offers/broadbandswitchers/v1/
Pay up to £100 to switch over, for those asking about EE and TalkTalk cancellation.

i cant see the EE switching information. Is it on the page?

See tp link tl-r470 on amazon (30 quid only) but see reviews as v2 is much better or see the more expensive versions. But you can return and get another if not good.

I am with Sky I took this deal out a few months ago and honestly think they are brilliant, I am very happy with them! I would recommend them, touch wood nothing has happened so far. I also think not sure if Topcashback are giving £100 M&S vouchers and £93 cashback, if that deal works out better?

Credit to Martin Lewis and MSE........my fear would be once Sky have your details you will get endlessly pestered with them trying to sell you Sky TV etc.

I am an existing sky TV customer, can I get this deal if I get my brother to sign up in his name? At the moment we have virgin for our phone and internet however that contract has just ended.

Sky are a nightmare. They have no incentives for people to stay with them. They changed my package so much in the first year, it went from £70-£80 (middle tier with movies and film, broadband and line rental). They took away some of the things we could access, stripped access for all HD channels - even ones you can get on Freeview, and they starting charging ridiculous amounts from our perks. Then you hear about all these people who are joining and getting loads of money off.

I'm still going to stay with them though. I just like to moan.

Over live chat, EE is provided via BT, so no MAC code is needed, you just switch when you purchase the deal and sky take care of the rest. EE will charge you x amount, you then send that off to sky and they reimburse via account credit

I've got sky tv so cant get this... that's a bit rubbish

Unless I sign up in my wife's name?... But im currently with talktalk in my name (no contract), how would the switching process go through?

Thanks OP

Is it a 12 month contract.

can you get a TV package with this ?

We always ring and complain when we see new customers getting these deals and we always get a new deal.

Sky is possibly one of the worst ISP's. On my PC, I get just 3 mbps download speed.


We're offered 40 mbps

I have sky tv but that's it. there is a phone line to the house but not active has I do not have a house phone. it was up dated in the last 2 years so should be ready to reuse. will I be able to get this deal at that £6.00 deal for a year plus the £20.00 connect fee only.

Good deal if not interested in European football. Sky are trying to get as many customers as possible into new contracts before the start of the new Champions League and Europa League season to stop them migrating to BT. Remember, BT have exclusive rights for the next 3 years, and will be showing all 351 games live, currently these will not be available to Sky only customers.

god dammit, new contact with sky started 2 days ago:(

I'm amazed at the incredible hate spouted about Sky on here. I have Sky Broadband unlimited and I get solid consistent speeds and have done for the last 2 years. I'm on the Sam Knows broadband monitoring and I have never had any problems, certainly no worse than with the other companies I've used. I find the customer service excellent and [u][any/u] problem however minor has been solved easily. No I don't work for Sky, I do however detest BT if that helps. Speak as you find I say and I like them and their TV service is the best.

Does anyone know if sky add their charge onto this for not taking a sky tv package (think it's currently £5 month) ?

Was thinking that but how would the switchover go as im currently with talktalk in my name

Does anyone know if it's possible to place order but delay in some way? Would like to reserve for future use.. perhaps in a month or so when I move house.. thanks

I dont think it make a difference as they are going on the number, I am doing the same and putting it in the wife's name.

It has worked for me as i have the code ready to go on Friday. I will call EE tonight and put my notice in

sky= worst customer service possible

I have only heard bad things about Sky phone and broadband. It's a sad state of affairs when your mobile phone gets faster speeds than your broadband. I got 40mb download, 6mb upload on my phone, at the same time my BT line was 12mb and 0.5mb. Rubbish. So I'm going back to virgin as I now upload lots to YouTube etc.

If I have just moved flat but haven't transferred my old Sky Broadband account (was going to close it as it's out of contract now), could I sign up under my name for this offer? i.e. Will they look my payment details up on their system and see that they are already registered on another address?
Thanks.

After thinking about this deal (and it is a fantastic price) however I would only be getting 2-3mp on my line I have decided to ring virgin to renew my contract. I got offered £20 a month for Unlimited anytime phone and 100mb broadband which I think is well worth it for the speed and price. If anyone else wants this price pm me and ill tell you the person I got it from.

Great deal. With sky at the moment after getting a 12month 17mb contract last year for £21 a month with £100 cashback and a £25 m&s voucher... worked out to £127 for the year. I had only have two issues with the internet going down for about 5mins each time, other than that consistent speeds and 1.5mb download. Now at 50p a month (£6 for the year) I'll defo take this back up again!

Thanks ukmonkey, will give it a go.

Anyone know if this can be turned off? It's part of the T&C's:
"Sky Broadband Shield activation required."

Also, did anyone else get a glitch on the registration form-initially it wouldn't let me use it more than once at the same household, then I just tried it again and it gave me 2 codes on the same page.

This is a crazy hot deal btw. I'm currently paying £36 a month for 40mpbs and line rental.

14 actually. :wink:

12 months half price line rental for 12 months. After 12 months standard Line Rental price applies, currently £16.40 a month. This offer is for new customers to Sky only incl. past customers who have not had Sky in the last 12 months. Customers can not be existing Sky TV customers. This offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer. Customers who require a new line will need to pay £20 fee to cover the OpenReach engineer's visit.

Bu**er

Just when i renewed my broadband and line rental a couple of days ago too.

I love the way MSE uses the word "blagged". Makes them sound so with it and cool.

Which details do you need? Are sky unlikely to give them out if asked? And any particular router? I'm used to using my dads Virgin media super hub 2, this is absolutely terrible.

mixand match give them a ring and whinge I got line rental for £9.99

Sucks I still have 7 months left on 18 month contract with BT. Why can companies hold you down to long term contracts!

Got my code, thanks OP. Any idea what the story is if the line to your house is damaged?

My contract ends on the 29th of this month, am I still able to switch? Think talktalk will give me heavy penalties as I have youview box, maybe sky would let me start after this date?

So there's no requirement to sign up for Sky TV is there ???

If you take this deal, which is fantastic by the way, and are thinking about taking Sky tv as well, hang on.
There is a good chance Sky will contact you in the coming months to offer you Tv at massively discounted prices.
Earlier on this year I was offered any Tv package, basic right up to sports and movies, at a 67% discount.
No guarantees but might be worth waiting a while.

can i buy the contract but start it later after my contract with other provider ends?? how long can i delay before activation?

voted hot.

I'm currently with Sky (broadband plus anytime phone) so could not get this offer. However as my contract is ending tomorrow they offered free broadband for 12 months and credited me £50. Altgo not as good as this deal it beats most quidco offers so was quite pleased. well done sky!

I rather pay more in return for a consistent broadband speed. This gimmick of attracting more customers will only result in congestion and reduced speeds. Good job I'm not with sky.

Hi, I am a sky tv customer but not a phone or broadband customer. Does this exclude me from this deal ?

On the order form at the bottom it says line provider. I'm with plusnet but pay line rental to BT what do I pick BT or other?

Had good speed around 16Mbps till I moved the mouse and started getting 3Mbps. I had to upgrade to fibre but this deal is still very good for the people who either live in a city or not far from the exchange.

Hot deal for those with low to average BB usage! Remember its sold as 'upto' as its ADSL so check the estimates expected in small print based on your distance to the local telephone exchange (just like any other Openreach product from BT, EE and TT)! I found their ADSL offering to be quite good previously but I lived near the exchange so that helped. If you upload (videos etc) a lot then i'd consider fibre over this as the uploads are much better on that product.

They need more deals for existing customers

COLD as it's SKY. I'm with SKY and they're the W O R S T
Can't wait for my contract to finish...

sky broadband is poor.Always disconnected and speeds are no where near what they advertise 3-4mb ! AVOID

And even if you do have it, it might not be as good as Sky. Faster than Sky for sure but when I had Sky it was rock solid at 10Mbps, my Virgin is 50Mbps but frequently loses internet connection. I would have stayed with Sky but I moved house and was only getting about 3Mbps

Hey everyone

this might be covered but 12 pages on, thought I'd ask instead reading back. I don't have a normal telephone line. would they install one as part of this deal?

Hot.

The ~7 days (in total) where VM have a fibre cut or something else in my area which happens at least twice a year, this can be good back up connection. Especially when you work from home.

Can anyone tell me, will there be any issues moving over from Talk Talk to Sky?

im already on virgin but for £6, this will serve as a good second option in the house.

Don’t get over excited, after chatting with SKY online only offered SKY Connect in my area for £17 pm .

thanks for this. ended up reading the thread just for comments..lol

so its £6 for the whole year?? and to install a new line will cost me only £20?? no brainer then if only as a secondary internet connection. have Virgin BB but probably will sign up.

My sky service is going live today. Wish I'd known about this 2 weeks ago :disappointed:

Is this a 12 month contract. Don't want to stung after 12 months!

Anybody know how long is the contract binding? Thanks.

Never trust Murdoch!

Very hot deal.
Just got BT infinity activated 10 days ago, so still can exit the contract without penalty fees. Despite that, I think I'll stick to BT, not sure if I'll regret this...

yep 1.3mbps, get around 150kbps upload.

Customers who require a new line will need to pay £20 fee to cover the OpenReach engineer’s visit.

I've just bought a new place. I need TV/Phone/Broadband the whole lot. I was thinking Sky for TV and Virgin for BB as that's what I had before. If I go for this deal will that mean I shoot myself in the foot when it comes to getting a New customer Sky TV package deal?
Bit confused what to do? :neutral_face:

I wish Sky would come to Hull. Or any other broadband provider for that matter. We're crying out for alternatives over here.

Thanks for the response. worth it then. £26 for the whole year. im sold.

What's the code?

Wouldn't touch Sky broadband with yours. Awful customer service because BT run the backbone. Great price but you get what you pay for. 156Mbps Virgin customer here though so I am slightly spoilt and use a lot of bandwidth.

Getting error when registering 'Service balance is depleted'

I've just tried to sign up and I'm being told that the line rental is NOT half price. Sky have confirmed this. Is anyone else having this problem?

Lol

Nice one!

I keep getting

" Service balance is depleted. " when trying to use the postcode checker.

I live in a flat, so depending on how they've listed my address is can look different, hope manually typing it doesn't change anything.

Looks to me as if you currently can not get the half-price line rental, probably not until Friday as pointed out above. Anyone know any different?

Have unlimited broadband from Plus Net, I use abt 250GB a month, no slow down. I pay £2.49 a month after paying 12 months line rental and got £80 cashback + £75 amazon voucher :wink:

The SKY offer is using ADSL broadband, I am currently with Virgin receiving FIBRE broadband.

Can anyone please tell me how much of a difference there will be please?

Thank oyu

Hi thanks for your response..

Samknows quotes:
2 mbps for ADSL
8 mbps for ADSL-Max

SKY over the phone said it is garunteed to be over 9.7mbps or you can leave within 3 months?

Is samknows a trustworthy website or should I believe SKY?

Thank you

Sky would have the better information. It's just a rough guide so you can work out how far your house is from the exchange 9.7mbit is what you would expect from an ADSL line 500-1000meters from the exchange

Hi I would just like to mention PLEASE check that SKY have there own equipment in your area before diving into this deal. Because I have had to stay with them for a year get around 1meg speed because there equipment was not in the area. And must of rang them over 50 times moaning about speed , watching videos is impossible. Basically if there equipment is not in your area they rent Bt 's stuff and BT will prioritise there own customers . Also they will choke your connection , loads of my friends were on this deal and had same problems.

But if it's in your area like a big city then it's a bargain...

Cheers just wanted to let you know...

Wouldn't touch SKY with a barge pole

"Service balance is depleted" when I do a postcode check...what does that mean?

ehh i already claimed the cashback and the m&s voucher soo i dunno... plus not too sure on the process, i think ill just let this one slide since its not like id be saving THAT much more

NO good to me I am a Sky Customer who lives in Kingston Upon Hull and the local phone company has a monopoly.

Hi, think I've talked myself into this as so tempting but open to views .........
Will be second line in addition to work currently only 8Mb (6.5Mb actual approx 5-600M from exchange). Pay 20-odd per month to BT for line & anytime calls - so If I can get anywhere near 17Mb then would be well happy.

Or TalkTalk 18mth (12mth free, rest £5/mth + unlimited calls £7.50/mth plus £100 high street card (put towards new tablet). So 2.50/mth more expensive per month, plus the extra 6mths basically negates the 'free £100 voucher'

Seems a no-brainer for SKY, unless missing something or be really bad service. Any views ??

What about loyal customers Sky, what do we get? Oh yes price increases to subsidise promotions and let's face it giving up to £300 bonus for recruiting is stupid......enough said!

I wasn't renewing, I was a new customer (12 month contract, not 24), the amazon voucher may well only have been for new customers, can't tell for sure. The cashback only for new customers I believe. I got this contract abt 3 months ago.
I'm happy I've got a 12 months contract so I can get some more cashback in just 1 year when changing provider and yes whether I liked the service or not :wink:

Does anyone know if I can get this deal but not have it start untill end of July, Im moving into a new flat then . Thanks

I left sky about 6 weeks ago, before I left I was getting 14mb/s constantly. I rang them to cancel and for the next month I got 0.05mb/s.

We went to sign back with sky via CPW under the wifes name but heard nowt after a month.

So might get the wife to sign up for this as then add tv later via quidco.

"Customers who require a new line will need to pay £20 fee to cover the OpenReach engineer’s visit."

So why have BT been charging £120 for so many years ?

Unlimited

I would like fibre optic but Virgin did the opposite side of the road 15 years ago but have never done my side. Lol

is it 12 month contract or 18 month?

Sounds a bit too good to be true.

I don't suppose they have got some clause that says the £100 credit can only be used against calls not line rental

Ok, I need some advice here:

Been with SKY for many many years (TV and Broadband only), but it was under my sister's name. She just got married recently and has moved out so she cancelled SKy TV and was told that Sky Broadband will be cancelled once I, myself, find an alternative ISP (So right now I am writiing this via Sky Broadband).

Personally I've been meaning to get away from Sky and try something else/cheaper but this deal is so good I cannot pass on it. What I wanted to ask is will I be able to get this deal even with this current situation. Also the fact that my line rental is with BT and has been for many years (another company I'm trying to get away from as they have been charging me too much over the years)

What would be my best options to do?
Thanks

The codes are all gone.

I'm very confused.

Can I use the code NOW or on the 19th? I'm thinking of having this as a secondary failover line just for the £6 hell of it ya know.

I can get the £100 credit added but it won't trigger 50% line rental, guessing that won't trigger till 19th so I should wait?

I'm an existing Sky Customer, called them to ask if existing customers were given any offers as an incentive to stay. They basically bluntly put it that they're a business and they need to attract new customers, and no point for them giving existing customers anything. I said for existing customers it'd then be best to switch elsewhere to keep taking advantage of new customer offers. They said no because of some spiel of how Sky has better quality than all the others.

I hate this business of constantly annually switching everything just to ensure you aren't paying hefty prices, so companies can subsidise costs for newbies. If there was a company that offered new and existing customers the same competitive rate, I would defo sign up with them!

For a while this afternoon there was an addition to the original post saying that the offer was now unofficially live via the introduce a friend link provided. I wasted a lot of time trying to activate my code and complete my order via that link. I see that that addition to the original post has now been removed. And the page on the Sky website that confirmed the details of the offer is now also redirecting to the current offers page. It was a huge waste of time for me, but I did save a live chat I had with the online support staff which confirmed all the details of the offer with one addition: he said there will be a £5 fee for checking new customers card details, payable up front but then credited to your account in the first month.

This is like when that comedian (Sean Lock perhaps?) describes the energy companies salesmen that come to your door. They ask are you happying paying more for your gas & electricity, we can save you money. He replies yes I am happy paying more thanks.

Me too, I am happy paying more for my BT internet.

Yeh, I was thinking the same thing too. How does the BT line rental work though, do I need to call up BT to cancel it first for Sky to then take over all proceedings or does it happening automatically? Do I need to pay £20 for the engineer to come round cause of this changeover?

Too Bad i'm an existing customer for 8+ years lol.

Unlimited fibre is the best...but deal and contract ran out in april..I get 37mbps which is great as its advertised upto 38mbps. I'm going to ring them up tomorrow to "cancel" and get my usual deal of £10 a month for fibre :smiley:

Comment order and then ring sky to cancel the order , when they ask why say i dont see why i should have to pay for delivery, they will waive it, ive reconnected to sky 3 times and always moan about delivery and they always waive the charge

Why has the title of this thread stated not to ask for or post referrals?

BT Wholesale belongs to BT but has to be a seperate part of the market so to provide their services to other providers.

The landline rental from companies is approx £11 a year to bt wholesale.

EE worstvand rudest so far.. rubbish network in terms of everything..

I didn't think anything can go wrong with paying line rental upfront before this deal until now.

Haven't read the 300+ comments so forgive me if it's been answered but where does it say it's a 12 month contract? I see that the broadbands free for 12 months and that the line rental is half price for 12 months but where does it say the term of the contract is 12 months?

I had read T&Cs and I don't think it does but others have directed me to where it does so happy days :smile:

Hate these new customer deals. With sky right now but out of contract, gonna have to go with a new provider.

I stand corrected, had blinkers on just looking for "contract" lol.. Cheers!

Got my code. I've been in my new flat for a month now, it has phone sockets everywhere lol no idea if they are active though.

following

'Service balance is depleted.'

:-(

Regarding most of these comments;
Sky broadband is not necessarily terrible, in the same way EVERYONE is not necessarily terrible, it all depends on the line going into your house.
Believe me, I've only recently changed job from selling TalkTalk and I heard people say just about everything about every provider.
Also you can legally leave a broadband contract after 12 months, they reserve the right to ask for their equipment back back they cannot charge a cancellation fee unless you've modified the contract in the past 12 months.
If I wasn't in a contract paying £20/pm for fibre BB and £12/pm for unlimited everything on mobile with TalkTalk (note these are regular consumer deals) I'd strongly consider this, although in my house all copper internet connections are atrocious, about 3mb.

Hot news Guys & Dolls

Just rang up about this deal and queried the costs of installing a new line (as a spare, like many have hinted here), instead of taking over current TT line. The guy insisted there will be a one off £ 100 charge.

So the £20 myth needs revisiting. Maybe that's the cost of a takeover OR activation of an existing socket only !

Can anyone else recheck this ?

Thanks

Anyone on talk talk know if cancellation is still free ??

I wonder what kind of cost it would be to upgrade to fibre unlimited once this is installed?

Anyone know how much the monthly early-termination fee is within the first 12 months? Thanks.
Sorry if the q was asked and answered earlier - I haven't read all 330+ posts!

Lets get this right. You pay just £6 for an entire years broadband AND get the line rental too? Surely there is a catch?

I dont current have a landline, just a virgin connection. How much would installing the landline cost?

so all you'd have to pay is £17.36 to get the line installed and then the £6 fee for the year?

£23 for a years internet? seems far fetched to me.

is it easy cancelling the account after the 12 months is up?

Comment its phone AND broadband, click on go to deal and the details are there

Gutted! any chance to get a similar deal for an existing customer out of contract?

from money saving expert website just to make it clear;

Blagged. For Sky newbies or those who left it 12+ months ago signing up to a 12-mth contract and paying by direct debit, via this Sky line rent & b'band* link. You need a code (14,500 avail) - they're likely to go fast and you can get one now via the link, but can only redeem it from Fri 10am-Thu 25 Jun 11.59pm. Here's the deal:

- Compulsory line rental. Blagged for half-price for 12mths at £8.20/mth - so £98.40 over the year. It rises to the normal £16.40/mth after the year but you can leave then.
- Unlimited broadband (avail to 90% of UK). Up to 17Mb speed, this comes 'free' with the line rent for 12mths. After that you can leave or pay £7.50/mth.
- Compulsory Sky router. It's marketed as 'free' by Sky, but the p&p costs £6.95.
- Call costs. Weekend calls (up to 60 mins per call) to landlines included; other calls to UK phones are incredibly similar to BT (see full call charges). If you rack up £100/mth in call charges (even if your account is in credit), you'll be cut off until it's paid off in full.
- You pay £5 upfront to 'verify your card' but you get it back. It's credited on the first bill.
- A further £100 credit we've blagged is also applied automatically on your first bill. You'll therefore have a £105 credit on your account, incl the £5 above. Assuming you don't incur any call or other charges, the credit then covers all payments for most of the first year - so you won't owe anything till a 35p balancing payment in the final month.

Analysis: The £5, a year's line rent plus the £6.95 router p&p is £110.35 over the contract (excl calls). You also get the £105 credit ( £5, plus the £100). Factor that in and you effectively pay £5.35 for a YEAR'S broadband and line rental - absurdly cheap.

A £20 installation fee may apply. Don't have a line, or switching from cable? You'll pay £20. A few on certain standard lines may need to as well. The only way to know is via the application process (it'll tell you before you commit, you'll need your exact postcode and landline number). See Installation info.

So did I but I signed up to the deal but it showed the full line rental. I naively thought that the discount would be on the bill. Thought I had better check. I then spent 2 hours trying to sort it out. I have been promised that when my account goes live the nice lady I spoke to will personally make sure I pay the reduced price.

I admitted to being partly at fault by signing up too soon but I also had a moan about Sky website accepting a code that was nothing to do with the offer.

Is that per month then for a fibre upgrade?

Re activating an existing socket. The line for my house has been inactive for 18 months. I only supplied the post code to Sky. I do not have to pay the £20.

Hmmm as I live in a flat would it be possible to just put my flat under a slightly different address i.e if I lived in flat F number 100 X street could I put 100F just as I have tv with them(that I never used just wanted the free multiroom install and the contract was paid for by the cashback I got included)

UNSUBSCRIBE
ZZZZzzzz

I think all the codes have been used up now

I was going to join Sky and told Talk Talk about it, I now pay £12.50 a month for the next 12 months for unlimited Broadband, line rental and all my calls (not bad to say line rental alone is £16.95 alone)
ether way voted Hot

Yes please tell us all. Many thanks.

Great price but I'd sooner go back to dial-up than go near BT broadband ever again, even if it was free.

Its actually £5.35

Is it possible to use this deal with Fibre? I don't mind paying the extra but I'd like to retain the half price line rental and £100 credit.

Or can I take this out and then upgrade within the 12-months? :neutral_face:

I have a small query - tried reading till 8th page and kind of gave up - thought I ask here

I am only into the 10th month of a 12 month contract with BT, so would I be able to order this deal, this friday to start sometime next - end of July of start of August, of will the change over from BT - SKY needs to happen as soon as I give them the code and my details.

Also do I need to ring BT and get a PAC/PUC code for this swapover or sky does that as well....

thanks in advance

They only offer deals like this hoping you run up a phone bill! And buy add ons, caller display etc. Best not even plug in a phone line at this price!- Unless it's in the terms and conditions that chargeable calls must be made each month to avoid charges obviously! (never checked ).

Shame I just joined PlusNet for year free bb and £75 cash this is way better! :disappointed:

thanks for that jackthabiskit

the last time I tried doing that with BT - they asked for a early termination fees, but this time I have pre-paid for 12 months line rental, so hopefully won't have any nasty surprises.

When I ordered sky in the past - looong time back, on the online order page, there was an option - when would you like the SKY services to start/ engineer to visit to put up everything - and u could like choose any dates available for a few weeks in advance, hope that same option be available for this was well, could push the start date for a few weeks then

I'm moving into a flat in late July, would I be able to get this deal then?

We are due out of contract July 27th. We have had free line rental for the last 12 months which will end middle of July. We currently pay £42.50 for the basic channels, multi room (half price), Unlimited broadband, phone line (free) and a £5 call package. Rang up yesterday to say we will be leaving as our bill will go up to £62 and they offered to knock £20 a month off for the next 10 months. Unsure weither to accept it or wait until nearer the date, restart as a new customer or leave completely. We want movies added back also so the price will go up..... not sure if I want the hassle of having to leave and rejoin, having no net or housephone..... Wish Sky would offer "as good" deals to odd customers :smiley:

Worth noting they will also charge 6.95 to post your router. (sorry if already mentioned).

When was the last time Sky increased their prices? I'm guessing this could well (most likely will) happen within next 12 months.

Are there any sky unlimited broadband customers here?

Quick question: Do I need to call BT first to cancel my line rental for this deal to become active (i.e. Phone & Broadband)? Or once I complete this order process it will happen automatically?

I've been with BT for soo long now, which means I'm not binded within a 12/18 month contract.

Edit: Right now, my phone line rental is paid to BT and my internet connection is paid to Sky. Both are outside contracts. No Skys TV subscriptions though, that was cancelled a couple of months ago.

Normal customer services. I asked them if they would match their new users deal and they put me through to retentions.

I did read the offer but stupidly believed what the original poster added at the end of his first post. I.e. that the deal had started. As I am off on holiday on Friday it suited me to sign up before then. I now see that he has deleted that snippet of incorrect information!

As I posted I would have thought the Sky website would have rejected the code I was putting in as it was obviously wrong. Apparently they have corrected their web page now. If Sky don't honour the deal I will still be within my 30 day cancellation period although I hope it doesn't come to that.

Y download speed with sky is 3.7 c.. P

We got Sky broadband for free when we signed up to Sky tv last year. The experience of moving from Virgin to Sky was like falling from the sky. It took them 3 months to get the line sorted, kept on blaming me for the problems and threatened that they would charge me £70 call out charges if problem was mine, Got it working after numerous texts and emails and a month of checking and rechecking the setup the engineer finally came and there was an error at the street cabinet. It worked for a day and stopped and I had to endure another 2 months of countless texts (as phone also stopped working on both occasions) and emails from my mobile, their insistance that I had messed up the setup and the line was OK and they would charge me £72 for call out if it was my fault. Just checked my texts: reported by text on 23rd August, engineer came and fixed it 2nd time on 26th November. Worst service ever, Dozens of emails and texts and they kept on insisting that I phone on their 0845 number but my old mobile contract does not cover that number and it costs me a fortune. Still I tried but they put me in the queue for 10 minutes and I gave up. Absolute disgrace and, as I said, too expensive even when it is free.

Don't join- its a CON- they will increase there prices massively once they have you locked.
they did that to me. got the 50% off for 12 months= they did 2 prices increases within the year Added £5-10 month on my bills

I agree they increase their prices a lot, I have been with sky for 8 years, the problem with sky is unless at the end of your contract you threaten to leave only then do you get a good price.
I have TV phone and fibre pro, they did the usual and put it all up and wanted £95 per month for it all, I gave them a months notice and this was dropped to £36 per month for it all, and fibre pro
They take the mick but I have no issues with the fibre, but remember to tweak your router as the basic settings aren't great,

I'm moving into my new apartment on the 1st July. Am I able to order this deal on the 25th June? I don't really understand how it would work if I haven't moved into the property yet. Thanks for any help

After the call, I also went on live chat and the guys clearly mentioned that "if you already have a line coming in, then sky would take that over . A new line will cost £100" The engineer visit is to activate an idle/inactive junction box/rewire it to make sure you are connected ! I suggest someone double check this thoroughly tomorrow, so there are no hidden surprises.

Sky assume you are all on ADSL and would be an easy switch. Hence the offer. With Fibre, it is more difficult to switch at the exchange and BT needs to be involved. Hence running a new line costing £100.

Good deal

Not anymore.

If you put in your details it now says Service balance is depleted.
It looks as this has now expired

Thank you :smile:

General question off topic: if i'm on sky and can't make any use of this deal i will leave and go to talk talk, however will it be a problem switching back to sky later?

Could you please tell me is the speed you are getting the one advertised on the website when you go through the speed checker depending on your address?

Or an quicker check through this website, type in your postcode and then choose the "BT ADSL" option: https://www.samknows.com/broadband/broadband_checker

Thank you

Does anyone know if it is still possible to leave Talktalk without cancellation fees because of the contract changes (broadband price increase £3.50 to £5) in the last 12months? I read it was allowed cancel charge free for 30 days after receiving the notification letter regarding the price hike. Just wondering if it might still be free, and if so worth switching to Sky.

I joined sky yesterday. Can I still get this offer? Or do I need to cancel and restart my skybroadband. Thank

sky licks Gooch. existing customers get **** all and pay a stupid amount per mth yet they offer deals for new customers. just cancelled mine, they can swivel!

I'd be interested to get a similar deal with fibre. Anyone seen mention of it ?

I got the free sky via voucher and cashback not long ago but this is even better even if its £6 as you have the money instantly n dont have to wait to receive it through a cashback site !

£5.35* :wink:

Yes they do. I'm with Virgin now because they said BYE when I threatened to leave.

ill try dragging installation date for upto 3 months, still got few months left with EE.

Haven't switched broadband for a while, do you still need to get my be Mac code thingamy?

For all those looking to arrange the deal for an impending address change / house move: note the requirement for a refundable £5 fee to be charged to a card during signup, this may fail if the registered cardholder address is different to the service / installation address.
From MSE: "You pay £5 upfront to 'verify your card' but you get it back. It's credited on the first bill."
Edit: seems the card verification procedure is via MasterCard SecureCode or Verified by Visa, and does not involve any address crosscheck.

Link appears to 404 now

Pity I'm locked in to EE till November ...

On the BB Checker my results are:-
Standard ADSL RAG results

You cannot receive 2Mbps ADSL
You may be able to receive 1Mbps ADSL
You can receive 512kbps ADSL
You can receive 256kbps ADSL

I already get 3Mbps with my current provider. Will my speed be reduced if I switch?

I was hoping to combine this with the 50% off sky tv for leaving virgin media but doesn’t look like that's gunna be possible

Perfect Thank you :smiley:

Called EE last night and put notice in. You do not need a MAC code anymore as it has changed according to EE. Your new provider will deal with it all and contact your current provider and advise them of the move on your behalf. Your current provider should contact you and confirm this is going to happen and your happy to accept the move.

I tried this morning and it says Page Not Found (404). So not working for me

Absolutely awful company for broadband. I was with them a couple of years ago and still list them as one of the worst companies I've ever had to deal with (after my estate agent)

The offer has now ended as there are no more promotional codes available.

Ive already got virgin connection in the front room of the house. anyone know if sky would install their kit in the back room of the house? anybody have the sky install in the back room(s) of their house?

You are mistaking mobile contract for phone contract. Month ago I left Sky (due to awful speeds and constant line fails) without incurring exit charges because they increased prices. I had a chance to do it 2 months after I signed with them as they increased the prices but then I decided to give them a chance (first week and first line fail - was not impressed). Then luckily price changes to 0800 numbers came along recently and I was able to leave early :smiley: - didn't take a risk this time....so I am now with PlusNet together with 35 cashback and 75 cheque from them and speeds are back to how they should be - their cooperation with BT is just excellent - took Sky week to fix my line....when I switched to PlusNet I had a fault on the line - notified them Friday evening on Bank Holiday weekend. On Sunday had a visit from BT to my home and guy sorted it out - something I would never expect to happen as you would think that on Bank Holiday weekend they would not work so I thought that it will be sorted no sooner than Tuesday but hey hey :smiley: now it's working flawlessly.

Got my voucher and very tempted for this. Can anyone confirm :
Have BT Line but no BB on it currently - will this incur additional setup charge ?
Want to have Anytime calls @ £5 per month - will this still come out of £100 credit ?
Is caller-ID included as standard on SKY lines ?
Thanks

Anyone know if a static IP address is possible on this deal (albeit with an additional charge maybe)?

Has anyone not got their redemption link yet?

I got the code but not the link

Can anyone provide the link to me?

Thanks

anyone got the email to take them through to the deal? I got a email when I signed up to say I'd get a follow up email which would have a link to take me through to getting the deal. nothing so far. just wondering if its same for others.

last question(probably not :stuck_out_tongue: )

anyone know what the connection set up looks like on the wall? any kind soul care to take a pic of how the service comes into the house via sky/bt?

with virgin you get a box in the wall for the connections and obviously the telephone line is then fitted where I wanted.

Similar to this but only the BT box with microfilter attached (not the wire or connection below or the other box

Read the "Headline" of this post.

oh **** i was thinking its friday ughhh!!

Amazing - I so don't need a second line but 50p a month?
I got my code yesterday, Thanks :-)

thanks. just checked the heading..in my excitement I thought it was today :laughing:

really appreciated for the pic. im assuming the router connects to the box in the wall and you can then have the router where you want so long as you've got sufficient cabling?

The router cable isn't very long (2ft I reckon), so I now have mine behind the sofa as it doesn't reach my TV cabinet on the other side of the wall. But it depends where they come in to the house.....I put it where an existing line was

ive got virgin BB at the front of the house so will try to get the BT box fitted in the back room. Its the room connected to the garden so they'd have to come in the garden and theres the room so nowt complicated like going through multiple rooms etc. If they insist installation in front room then I might just cancel.

The BT guy said I could have had mine anywhere so shouldn't be a problem. It's just cabling isn't it.

ps my actual box looks tidier than above pic from internet

Damn, moving into new house in July and this would have been perfect.
Missed it.

Another question. The house I've bought has a sky dish and a twin LNB installed.
One connection goes to front, other to rear of downstairs rooms.

If I take out Sky will they put a new dish on or take of the existing LNB and replace with a single?
I'd love it if they put another dish on for upstairs :smiley:, perfect for kids.
Thanks

u can getba new dish, just tell the engineer you need a new dish..

I do get speeds upto 17mb , thinking to order two lines as i already have 3 active sockets, and will bridge both connections to get download speeds upto 34mb.

I am moving house in a month. Do I have to place my order tomorrow ??

Is this for customers completely new to Sky or new to Phone and Broadband?

I've just read through everything but still have a question please guys. I got Sky TV installed a couple of weeks ago as a new customer. Can I get this phone and broadband deal? I'm a new customer to Sky phone and broadband but now not a new customer to Sky because of the Sky Tv install?

Or install it under a new name?

Thanks.

I didn't manage to get a code but does anyone have one they don't plan on using? I really want to make use of this offer for my parents who are retired and in their 70's - might finally persuade them to get online :-)

Does anyone have a code that they won't be using that I could have please x

Nope I get 156 down and about 12.5-13 up

i don't understand why virgin uploads are not that fast enough compared to bt fibre which gives upto 20 mb?

The way EuroDocsis works compared to VDSL2 and the number of people on a split (Coax segment).

Cables effectively a broadcast medium, the only reason you can't see the traffic for you neighbours connections is due to encryption.

It's a lot easier to do downstream traffic as it's coming from one point (the cab) and using telecoms grade equipment where as the upstream is coming from lots of place and also using consumer junk.

with FTTC it's a dedicated connection between your modem and the cab, The only reason crosstalk is an issue is because it's essentially RF and some of it leaks out of the cable and causes interference on neighbouring cables.

If anyone has a code, that they are not using, then it would be of great use to me. :smile:

Thanks in advance :smiley:

Hi if anyone has a code they won't use i would be very greatful

oooo must have been someone trying it on but good for you to still pack your bags :smiley:

Within a week I was getting 'come back and we'll give you 75% off for 12 months' letters. I'd only asked for a reduction in the 1st place. I would have snapped their hand off at 50%. Still, there must be some sense to it I suppose.

Do they charge you to switch it to external calls if you're only receiving incoming calls on your line at the moment?

The £100 credit is paid in vouchers guys.
So I've been told by Sky. Very misleading stuff.

The word if comes in to play here.
"We want to make switching to Sky Broadband as easy as possible
From 1 May to 30 June 2015, we’re changing our current Switch Credit promotion from high street vouchers to Sky account credit.
If you choose to switch your broadband, calls and line rental to Sky between 1 May and 30 June 2015, you can receive up to £100 credit to your Sky account if your provider charges you to leave (capped at the amount you are charged for any monthly payments due after your leave and excluding outstanding call charges). This credit can be spent on your monthly Sky Subscription charges. If you join us outside of this period, you can receive up to £100 multi-store Love2Shop gift vouchers"

Yes but you need to provide all the relevant info they request from old provider before it's applied to your account. MSE just make out it goes on your account automatically it doesn't.
Please note, without a clear indication that this specific charge has been paid we won’t be able to process your credit or vouchers.

"Once we get a copy of your proof of payment of the charges you’ve paid, your new Sky services have gone active and if the information you’ve sent us is complete, we’ll credit your Sky account or send your multi-store gift vouchers within 14 working days; however there could be exceptions where this might take longer"

Hang on a minute...so if your existing provider does not charge you an exit fee then the £100 isn't on offer? So this £6 for a year of phone and broadband is completely misleading?

Do you think everyone who has a code is guaranteed the deal? Or is it 'first come, first served'? ie do you have to be online at 10 am tomorrow, or does that not matter?

They should fit a new dish with a quad LNB so even with the Sky + box which uses 2 of these outputs you will have 2 spare lines. I told the installer I would be prepared to pay extra for a bigger dish and 8 way LNB. He said he could not install a bigger dish but I could have the Octo LNB for nothing.

Someone told me you can only have one Sky dish per property but I don't know how true this is.

I don't understand what dishes have to do with this deal? This is for telephone/broadband. Don't you just need a landline?

Not trying to mislead anyone. I was told this information and given a link to see all the details for myself. I simply asked them about the above offer and firstly was told they pay in vouchers then asked to read the information.

if u refering live chat then they are just bunch of time wasters with no knowledge about their products..

Bad news for anyone thinking about getting a second line - I just called them and they said you will be charged £120 for a second line not £20

Just do it online, it cost £20

Going to take this up with my code but now seen the full sky package for £25pm for new customers, do you think I could place both orders as a new customer to have broadband, phone and TV for £31pm ??

"Customers who require a new line will need to pay £20 fee to cover the OpenReach engineer’s visit."

But if you already have a BT installed line and want a second line it will cost you £120 not £20

Amazing. You quote a perfectly clear, unambiguous sentence then proceed to paraphrase it by adding your own, fabricated condition.

Where are the full terms and conditions?

On MSE it doesn't mention things other people have brought up such as:
Will the prices be fixed for the 12 month duration?
Are there any exit fee charges?

Have you had a bad day at work or are just looking to cause some trouble ?

What fabricated condition are you talking about - this information was given to my by Sky just before I made my post and I take exception to anyone who says I fabricate what I say.

I was considering the possibility of getting a second line for £20 and at least one other poster on this thread was thinking along the same lines.

If some other poster has already mentioned the fact that a second line will cost £120 and not £20 then i am happy to give them credit as I have not got time to go through 24 pages on this thread.

.I chose to paraphrase the posters reply as the poster had simply copied and pasted the terms and conditions without actually responding to the specific point I had made.

I signed up with Sky a week ago and the line is going to be install next week. If I cancel the contract before, would Sky consider me a new customer for getting that deal?

OMG - Have look at this. More than 10 available. The nerve of some people.! Now we know why some people here could not get any codes. Since it was one offer per household this person would have had to use 9 other addreses. I'm going to grass this bar-steward up.to Ebay

Is he seious, more than 10 codes available

Im hoping I will be able to sign up for this and then take the £25pm TV after, fingers crossed.

Reported to MSE.

Yep - money for nothing.

Listed yesterday evening and the seller says they need name and address. To me it looks like they listed and when they get the name and address they were going to just fill in the form and send the code at that stage. Since nobody has bought one, they have yet to try and realise the offer has ended so they will probably end up refunding anyone if they eventually buy it.

Yes, you are right. Thank you for the explanation - so they were doing it live when the codes were available. I thought they somehow used multiple addresses and had acquired lots of codes for sale. It seems that one person has purchased a code in the last hour.

I missed out on this offer as i thought i had until Friday to claim a code. Spoke to sky live help regarding this deal. I was told they have the code for me. After an hour of wasted time chatting about irrelevant information (trying to sign me up to tv) I then get told this is a third party deal and the only offer they can do for me is the one listed on sky website with £100 m&s voucher. I imagine there will be a lot of unused codes so hoping they will offer this deal again for those of us who missed out.

Sorry for late reply but yes I get the speed that was advertised when signing up to sky just over a year ago. My speed is around 22-24mbits per second with broadband, I live quite close to the exchange.

It is not that they wont give the details out just that you will need to get a sky employee who is competent enough to locate the details. Good luck with that. :P

You need username to log on to the network, and a few router setup details. PPPoA, vc-based, vci 0, vpi 38 and the username I use is "[email protected]" without quotes. These will make sense when you are putting them into the router...

Comment

How far are u from exchange in meters if u check samknows?

lol 'live Friday' and it's Friday and the deal has expired....

Sky can go **** themselves lol. What kind of company advervises a deal as starting in three days, so that loads of people wait but fails to mention you need to register prior to be eligible? It sounds like a recipe to **** a lot of people off.

So what's happening with the £100? Are they only going to credit the account if someone had been charged a termination fee otherwise vouchers or nothing? Not everyone pays a termination fee, atleast I didn't. I was in my 6th month of an 18 months contract with TalkTalk but due to the price increase etc I was able to get out without a penalty. I have already given my 30 days notice before this deal was posted as I was thinking of moving to Virgin Media.

In Belfast, where my sibling lives, Upto 17Mbps gives 11Mbps. Convert that to MBps and you will only get 1MBps speed when downloading, which is from the AOL and ntl days!

I have a spare code but I am only willing to give it only to an English/Irish/Welsh/Scottish HUKDer. I will read preceding comments and PM one of you.

22mins to go....can you use quidco?

'Sky will alert you when it goes live,with a link to claim the offer'...Is this a generic link that all can use. I have a code but no email referring to link? Maybe link only made available at 10am. Has anyone else received link?

Not really a £100 bill credit?!

Offers in my basket, tried to place but it just errors :disappointed:

anyone got email from sky so far?

got the email but keeps saying try again later on the offer page ughhh!!

jammmmed

Unable to continue with your order

I got all the way to taking card details then it failed.

I can confirm line install was free though, not £20.

I have a code, but when I try to use it it says I'm already a customer.
Would anyone like it?

I think we have broken SKY!!!!

yes u r right, will try later on

Did anyone read the bit about £100 bill credit in the terms and conditions when you follow the link?

All it mentions is £100 m&s vouchers for new customers and £50 for existing. What happened to the bill credit??

"Unable to continue with your order
Unfortunately, we have been unable to proceed with your order. To continue by phone, please call 08442 411 818."

Will wait for a day or 2 before trying again. I've got the code so they're not going to change the offer (I hope!)

Pm'd you :laughing:

Same here

Comment


I can, but the same terms and conditions will come up again...

These are the ones that come after you click the link in the email sent by Sky today

Ah, well I'll give up for now. Hopefully the new line install will still be free when I try this afternoon.

im guessing nobody has managed to place an order?
And no point in trying now - but wait for a while for the hammering to die down.

Although I am promoter of do whatever you like I took the liberty to report them to eBay...I think such practices are bad and are seriously damaging to the hotukdeals community for one.

EE charge you £40 to come out of contract early :disappointed:

well the offer is still valid for a week so will probably try over the weekend. no point trying now as its getting hammered.

If anyone has one of these codes and don't need it would you mind inboxing me it? I got one for me but my sister is after one to. thanks.

My order has gone through.Thank you
Rodrigobr :stuck_out_tongue:

done for me..

[img][/img]

awesome, mines gone through as well.

24th June installation date, I'm moving house this week so nice timing.

My PlusNet Fibre line won't be installed for 3 weeks so nice backup line can be used early. No installation fee for the OpenReach guy, just £5 upfront security thing, but I've got £105 bill credit :smile:

if anyone has a spare code they won't be using I would really appreciate one for my daughter, gutted I missed this :disappointed:

It says:


Does that mean I need to purchase TV bundle to get £100 bill credit?

would i call after i do this deal?

Comment best to do it before just to be sure

Hi I need code if any one can help thanks

Gutted - I missed getting a code. Much appreciated if anyone has one spare.

Well that's me signed up. Took a while as the site is so busy but all done and dusted now.

It said £100 free credit on my order

Still not going through for me:(

I'm still trying - no surprise it's busy, but don't they plan??

It keeps saying I'm a customer and to sign in. Just moved into this address. Anyone getting that?

It keeps saying I'm a customer and to sign in. Just moved into this address. Anyone getting that?

finally signed up - 2 hours that took.

Does anyone know if I need a MAC address or if I need to contact my existing supplier?

The order went through with none of those questions - so I am assuming Sky will do all the leg work for me?

Done and done. £5 initial card payment (which with the £100 credit just about covers the entire year) + £32 exit fee from EE (quoted when I called EE) = £37 for year, so about £3 a month. Bargain.

Other people might want to check first how much the fee will be (if any fee) to exit their current contract. Also worth noting that the EE guy tried to convince me that there was small print on the Sky deal meaning I will end up paying for a Sky TV contract. Utter [email protected]

i think the code can be reused, anyone tried?

The MSE article states that if the £20 is due then it should be made clear before purchasing the deal.

EDIT: Actually, I may have misstated the MSE article. I would suggest reading it yourself including the extra info at the bottom.

Got mine, thanks op!
Heads up, if you already have sky in your name, use ur partner's/wife's/girlfriend's name and its goes through fine

Thanks much appreciated, ill give it ago!!!

where do you put the code?? I just clicked on the link provided by sky this morning and didn't see a place where I had to insert the code.

Does one have to change from BT line rental to them please ?

Anyone want to pm me a code please, thanks

3 and a bit months. Paid line rental upfront (and got it back through Topcashback) then paid a reduced amount of £2.50 a month for the broadband. However for the purposes of the exit fee the broadband is charged at the full £9.95/month x the remaining time on my contract = about £32. Or so the guy told me.

Same here then, although more like 2 months remaining; ill just try claim it back via that sky form! thanks for the info, saves me having to call them up

says 8.20 a month with offers applied.

Do I need to pay for a TV package as well? This it what it shows after I have typed code:

Get £100 credit added to your first bill when you join Sky TV online. Simply choose the Sky TV bundle that suits you and complete your order online.

Thank you OP.

I've just signed up. What's the best way to get a decent TV package alongside this offer?

Sorry, the unique reference number you've entered has already been used. Please check that you have entered the unique reference number correctly. If you haven’t joined Sky and would like to, you can ask your friend to send an invitation. Once your account is up and running, we’ll send you a unique reference number so you can choose your reward. If you're a customer,sign in here and try again.

did you guys actually put a code in anywhere or did you just click on the link and go through without entering the code?

I used my iPhone and it was direct. No need to enter code

thank god for that. ive done it via the PC and clicked on the link provided in the email from SKY. went all the way through but did not see a prompt to put any code in. got worried that I ballzd it all up.

All signed up :smiley: Even includes free New Line Setup as there is no active line at the address so an absolute bargain for the first year. Didn't need to enter the code - it might be a unique link that you receive in the email so it knows what code you were sent perhaps.

I wonder how much MoneySavingExpert are making per deal through the affiliate codes?

About to sign up but I want to add "Talk Anytime International" to my package. It says "12 month minimum subscription applies, except 18 month minimum subscriptions apply for Sky Fibre and Sky Fibre Unlimited + Sky Talk Anytime International & Sky Line Rental." Does that mean I can't be with them for 12 months if I choose the additional extra?

Does anyone know if you can set this up on line to act as a second account. I already have Virgin Media, which I want to use as my main provider, and have this setup in the bedroom solely for use for WiFi for mobiles. When it asks for my current land line number, I don't want them to disconnect my current Virgin Media number or cancel that account.

Many Thanks

same here, the new line fitted for free is a massive bonus.

ive ordered too. thanks for the deal!

Some advice please. I did have Sky broadband (moved from o2) in my current address. I ordered the code for my new address, would I still be classed as left within 12 months or am I better using my wife's name on the new address to make sure there are no issues.

Thanks

Did it let you do that? When I input my address, it says there is an active line already there. Then it asks me for the number and provider, and these are required fields. I have tried to put in a fake telephone number, but it just starts the process over again.

Sites working now, I just signed up :smile:

i just put my address in and skipped the phone number. it went through for me. do you have a bt line at yours?

just got mine through, says new line installation is free so even better, as I though it was £20

Thanks Enigma. Still can't get it to work for me, it says it will take over the existing line. I'll contact them on chat, and see whetehr I can get a free new line put in.

Just tried signing up in wife's name, says we already have sky tv (which is in my name)... is there a way round this?

I had that issue, however upon entering my address manually it can no longer find the line :wink:

Just rang virgin to cancel and the lady I spoke to was shocked at the deal and adamant that no provider can give half price or discounted line rental other than when you pay upfront, she told me to ring them to confirm before I cancel, anyone else tried cancelling current provider

Thanks Nanuek and followed procedure below and although I advised I had no existing line (new house) therefore no landline number I expect it should have flagged the Extra £20 but it didn't so expect Sky to honour installation date booked. Here the blurb below
Will I have to pay the £20 new line fee? Whether you'll need a new line is determined on a case-by-case basis.

If you don't have a line, or you're switching from cable, you'll need to pay for a new line. However, if you have a BT line but pay another provider to use it, or you pay BT directly for your phone line, you may still have to pay the fee.

The only way to check with any certainty is through the application process. After you've entered your details, Sky will check these on the BT Openreach Checker to determine if you'll be charged. You'll know whether you'll have to pay the £20 before you commit to the deal, and you can choose not to continue if you do find you'll be charged.

My current BT contract ends on 27th August 2015. Is there a way to go ahead with the SKY deal from after this date or do I have to pay a penalty to end early?

Anyone got a spare code? :smiley:

same here. was expecting to pay the £20 but put all my details in and it says installation is free for a new line so expect them to honour the deal.

I checked my print out and indeed it says NEW LINE INSTALLATION FREE

I hate to beg, but if anyone has a spare code it would be much appreciated! I just moved into a new apartment and missed out on the sign ups.. and now feel like a right numpty!

It does not say that on mine. Hovever have it written in a Sky chat that new line installation will be free. Very happy with this.

Comment yes!! thankyou!! i was getting the " line exists " problem but on manually entering it didnt find a line and ordered a new installation, now i just hope the engineer doesnt turn up and say theres already a line active lol

2 weeks till line installation... ughhh!!

Even better.

The terms have changed to reflect this:

'Compatible line required, otherwise connection charge from £20 may apply.'

I don't like the sound of

otherwise connection charge from £20 mayapply

it's like - Discount sale Upto 80 % in stores

Thank you OP
I managed to get this offer. No install date as yet but hopefully soon and not a long two week wait.
Spoke to current provider Plusnet who said "we can match the free broadband but not the half price line rental" I explained I would like my MAC code. It will be with me in 3 to 5 working days via email.

I wonder when the 12 month check is done to. I left Sky at the end of June last year. So if it is 12 months to away from Sky at point of connection I am fine, if it is at point of order I am not.

I also tried to sign up in my wifes name , as I have recently signed up to the TV deal , and its saying she already has sky services , but she hasnt, is it done by address , this really is a great deal and dont want to miss out ,

is there a way round it ?? i dont understand what you are saying about 2 options ???

Need some help here folks. I want to keep my existing BT line but req a new phone line connection with extra new number from SKY as want to keep both lines completely separate.

Which option is the correct one to select?

Sky Line Rental
Based on the information you have provided we should be able to transfer your existing phone number to Sky Talk if you wish. Your phone line and broadband will be activated on the same day.

Would you like to keep your existing phone number (***********)?

Yes - it should take around 2 weeks to switch your services to Sky
No - it should take around 2 weeks to switch your services to Sky

Please note:
Timeframes above are estimates only - if an engineer visit is required you will have the opportunity to choose a convenient date later in the process. Your exact activation date will be confirmed in writing once your order is complete. If you do not opt to keep your current telephone number, or for any reason we are unable to transfer this to your new Sky phone line, your new number will also be confirmed in writing before your line is activated.

Does anyone need a code? I have a spare one.

Just messaged you

If anyone has a spare code it would be much appreciated here. Thanks.

Just filled it all in and says we already have sky ,says we have to ring them.

We did sign up via Carphone warehouse but we haven't heard anything for 3 weeks and they haven't taken any payments so cancelled that yesterday with CPW.

Can anyone advise my dad has Sky TV I want to put it threw my mums name but it's coming up she has Sky services already.
How do we get past this.

so you're saying I should be ok as I have it in writing, so to speak?

it clearly says on the print out: new phone line installation FREE

if so, im well chuffed but until it don't happen, I wont believe it.

make sure you print the chat out as proof. happy that it worked for in the end. looks like when my virgin deal comes up, when I threaten to leave if I don't get a good deal, I actually could without interfering with services as i'll just switch home connection to SKY which i'll have got already!!!

Comment you will be fine , its all done now, all the engineer will have in paperwork is to install a phone line, and any charges would have taken place during checkout

Comment

when you select your postcode and it finds the adresses, select enter manually, it should be highlighted in blue, that way it wont recognise your line and will let you select am engineer visit, thanks to another poster on here as i had no idea myself lol

Tried that. No option to select engineer visit. :disappointed: Will try again but got this now...

Comment. oh regards the engineer visit it will show up on the final page before you checkout

I'm about to sign up.

For everyone interested in this. it's now saying ''£8.20 a month''

i'm assuming when the £100 credit gets added on. it then becomes free?

So is the final amount left to pay per month for this deal is £8.20? all in for £8.20 a month

i don't think anyone even knows, how much they'll be paying yet per month.

so it'll be totally free internet, and phoneline for the entire year?

no, the deal is £8.20 per month. but you get a £100 credit in your account. so the £8.20 monthly figure is taken from that £100 credit. so long as you don't over spend on the telephone, then the credit will take case of the monthly £8.20 bill. I think on the final bill you have to pay £5 odd quid. that's how ive understood it.

Just put this through then says cannot get deal as existing SKYTV customer.
Is this only for non sky tv customers?
Please help

If that's the case. i think this is the deal of the decade gentleman

Hello .please would be very grateful for a code someone .x

just hoping they install the line in the back room and do so via the back garden. don't want to install the line in the back room but having come through the front and then I have to drag carpets up and to start drilling holes in dividing walls.

Comment. oooh yea forgot about the godiva ! lol

what are the odds of skys phone rental going up to 18 quid and **** everything up Lol

Hi all can anyone post the link where you place the code please ?

I have Sky tv at my home address however it is NOT in my name. Keep getting the page saying that I am already an existing Sky customer even though I am registering with my name now which is not registered with Sky. Im assuming they use your address and not your name when checking to see if you are an existing customer. Anyone have a way around this?!

It said that the £100 credit was only if you added Sky TV to your bundle (had to click to open the small print right before i paid), so I don't think the credit will cover the years bill, even if you did get Sky TV. Or am I wrong?

I'll have a code somebody can use soon. I registered for a family member but it errored, so I did it again. I ended up with two codes today. Once I have completed their registration for them, i'll publish the code. Hopefully it will help someone out

Sorry can you please elaborate on what you mean when you say 1a instead of 1?

how has this deal not got more hotter??

Comment sorry i meant halfway through contract , its been done to me before and you cant really do anything

given example for house no. 1 changed 1A

I thought if they did that, it was valid grounds to leave the contract. im sure that's what ive read. if they put your contract up mid contract, you can leave without any fees. you just have to judge if the increase is worth it.

Comment no they put prices up every year, afraid its part of the deal your signing up to, been like that for years

Has anyone got spare code? Friend of mine is looking to get sky broadband and seems I have missed deal - all codes gone quick..

Hard work it is :smile: but I went through with this deal with some Sky Chat assistance as the definition of new SKY phone line connection was not very clear cut that the existing BT phone line that is already connected to the property is not to be touched under no circustances as I have no access to & not under my own name.

For folks who want a second SKY phone line, Neha, Sky Chat advisor claims you must select NO option if you want to keep your existing phone number that is connected to your property.

Anyway got a chat transcript just in case things goes titsup. Fingers crossed on install day. :neutral_face:

do you need to remain on this contract for 18months ?

Is this just for NON SKY TV CUSTOMERS?

woo hoo. all signed up!

only concern is that i was never shown an option box to keep my existing phone number, even when i went back to the beginning and with the help of a sky chat advisor. anyhoo he seemed pretty certain i would keep my number regardless and i have kept the chat for proof. *fingers crossed*

On the £100 Bill Credit when you are directed to the offer page from the email link, it says,

£100 Bill Credit
Get £100 credit added to your first bill when you join Sky TV online.
Simply choose the Sky TV bundle that suits you and complete your order online.

So, I don't think that everyone is getting free internet over here. If you don't get the Sky TV online, you wont be getting any £100 credit - Clear and Straight.

Maybe MSE have forgotten to check this small print but the Sky Offer Website clearly states this. Just click on the £100 Credit point under 'Yours at no extra cost' section.

The deal is still good though because you are getting half price line rental with free broadband for a year which comes to roughly £100, which is half that of any good deals we have seen in the past, but it is not free :smiley:

Does anyone have a spare code please

I just called them and the guy says that they're getting a lot of calls about it which is why the chat is currently busy, but that he's fairly certain that you don't need to take the TV as well, but to wait until the chat option is back and speak to them as they don't deal with online offers

Also when you select a Sky TV package the £100 credit disappears from your order so this supports what he says

I'm 99% certain that the text that appears when you click the £100 credit is from an old offer, and has been reused here but they've forgotten to remove it as it doesn't apply to this promotion. Otherwise they would have included it in the T&C's somewhere, and made it a bit more obvious otherwise its false advertisement

Oh my, Quidco just tracked £70 as well. Be interesting/nice if that pays out.

Comment. ????

Can sky increase the prices of line rental during the contract?

Are sky part of BT wholesale network? I was told by plusnet they are not and so I would be charged a cessation charge if switching. Even though after 20th June a Mac code is not required anymore.

Anyone out of contract with plusnet who went through with this? Do you have to get your Mac code to give to sky to avoid £30 cessation charge?

Also ordered :smile:

Can't get an install date for 2 weeks but not really in a rush

What does this mean? I don't have anything other than a BT phone line & BT Broadband (along with complimentary BT Sport & BT Wifi) so what other services are they talking about? Surely not the complimentary ones as those will automatically fall away when the broadband is discontinued.

Funny, I've just been paid £105 TCB that tracked fine for the 75% off sky tv packages and £100 bill credit from a few months ago, so certainly is a chance

Ok thank you so much to the poster for this deal. We have been looking to get broadband for at least 2 years and haven't until this deal came up. To clarify:

* I do not have an active phone line for at least 3 years but there is one here. That means they don't need to send an engineer out and can do it externally which they have done.

*£100 will be added to our bill, BB is free and landline is half price meaning the OP is spot on.

*only charge we incurred was the delivery charge for the router at £6 odd. So phone line and Broadland for around £11 total cost for the year. Absolutely chuffed as hell, thank you HUKD and Op!!!!!!

This is better than the cookie deal a few years ago, the beer deal, the watch deal, the iphone5 contract deal, among others I have got from this app, oh not to mention the tablet deal on Christmas Day.

Amazed amazed amazed!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!

Just ordered, all went through okay I think, £8.20 a month for the line rental, £6.95 for router delivery. £100 bill credit.

Think that takes me to £5.35 for the year. Thanks OP! You've saved me a fortune!

Load of rubbish

Anyone have a spare code ordered one but it never came

is sky router got bridge options?

Check the last few posts in this thread:

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=5264904&page=2#topofpage

If the terms and conditions are stating you need to take out a TV package, this looks like an error, somebody copying and pasting from another offer maybe. It's not what was advertised by both MSE and Sky; and it's not what showed when the confirmation of my order went through.

You might want to hold off until this is confirmed, but it seems the Sky chat people are pretty confident this offer is legit. Would be a hell of a slur on "people's hero" Martin Lewis if it wasn't.

Comment

Total cost for broadband, phone line, installation came to £10 odd

People are getting confused. If you have the code, your sorted.

Telephone sky customer services on 02071267020, give them your code and they should talk you through the process. I had to make an account online essentially "a basket" which I emailed myself and then he took the reference number from this basket and added the offer.

Any tech freak here will be using it for broadband bonding?

Comment. no not totally

Then how are you getting this deal as well?

Comment

No but about £10 odd

Apparently there were 14000 codes and these went very quickly.
I just tried to push SKY on live chat for the deal and they wouldnt budge.
All they have now is free internet unlimited for 1 year and a £100 M&S voucher. Which means the line rental will be 16.40 per month. Lets hope some of the hot uk peeps will see another great deal for broadband soon.

I thought this offer was for new Sky Broadband customers, not realising those who have Sky TV are exempt. Got a code in my email inbox this morning. I can't use it, so someone else may as well have it.

PM me if interested. At 9pm I'll pick a 'winner' for the code using a random number generator. Please don't PM me after 9pm. Any PMs I receive after 9pm won't count and I don't want my inbox flooded.

I'm not getting this deal.

I'm getting a "It looks like you're already a Sky customer, please sign in to continue." message. What should I do??

I am currently on Sky Broadband but paying BT for the line rental. The SKy TV package was under my sister's name who moved out earlier this year and cancelled Sky TV and BB. But she was told that the Broadband will be cancelled once I join an alternative ISP. A mac code was given, but has now expired (been over a couple of months).
Also I am not the bill payer for the BT line rental and I, myself, have never bought anything SKY under my name....how should I go about doing this?

Anyone got a code please?

Can someone confirm for me please whether or not an engineer is called out in every instance? All I can see happening with my order is an 'activation date' (which is the one I chose). Does this mean an engineer isn't being called out to my property?

Ta!

How do you provide them with a Mac code if it's required when placing the order?

Comment and activation day just connect the router and start surfing!

can anyone pls confirm the following

1) Do we have to get in touch with the current provider ( e.g BT) for a MAC code ?
2) Is it possible to choose a start date/ activation date - even if u don't need a new line/ Open reach engineer visiting?

thanks in advance

Whats all this about you need to choose a tv package to get the £100 credit

Has anyone confirmed this, because on my order it said £100 credit and nowt about a tv package

I got mine a few weeks back in under 24 hours.
If you got the email about 08xx number charges increasing you can cancel without penalty

Andrew why don't you speak to your current provider and/or Sky?

Do sky use openreach network? If so plusnet shouldn't be charging £30 cessation because sky can sort out my switch without me having to even contact plusnet.

Apparently you need a Mac if on plusnet.

anyone has a spare code who don't want to use ? would be nice of them to share. Thanks

In order for the deal to go through, I ended up saying I'm going to be moving in to my address even if though I've been living there all my life...will this be ok to do?

MSE promo page stated "...You need to grab one of 14,500 codes..."

Anyone got a spare code? Mine won't work and says it's already been used:(

I'm replacing the existing line which is line rental paid to BT which is under my mothers name. Basically I'm going to be putting the bill payments to under my name (been meaning to do so for a long time). I have my mother's blessings lol.

What about the rest 500 codes? :stuck_out_tongue:

It said that the £100 credit was only if you added Sky TV to your bundle (had to click to open the small print right before i paid), so I don't think the credit will cover the years bill, even if you did get Sky TV. Or am I wrong?

It said that the £100 credit was only if you added Sky TV to your bundle (had to click to open the small print right before i paid), so I don't think the credit will cover the years bill, even if you did get Sky TV. Or am I wrong?

Thanks Op....deal of the year!

Wish I could give you some heat...

Just ordered and £100 credit added WITHOUT TV package. We don't have a land line connected or Sky.

Engineer coming out in 10 days.

I guess Sky make so much money that 14500 codes isn't a great loss and they get 14500 new customers plus the hype.

I spoke to Plusnet customer services two days ago to ask them whether I need a Mac code and they said that from this Saturday 21st June they will not be a need for Mac codes.

does this apply to a plusnet customer who doesn't take out line rental with them? I'm only getting broadband service. can i switch without penalty?

so what about the £30 cessation charge? i'm out of contract with them, and was told that the charge would apply as sky are not part of the open reach network. i could just switch to sky and hope for the best but i am guessing they will hit me with the £30 charge.

I heard when I was on Live chat on Sky.com, when I was trying to get the deal without a code

Lol there is always those who like to profit on ebay

No, as its call charges that have increased not broadband :disappointed:

Well I got 5 PMs. A number generator picked out #4. The fourth PM I got was from...

@bhunterno1

PM incoming.

Just went through Sky chat and managed to get the deal, no code needed

yeah me too

checkout screen

Just to check that this was the checkout screen for everyone who used this offer? Just to satisfy my nagging OCD as it doesn't mention the bill credit there

Right hand side under benefits and extras,
sky wifi free
£100 bill credit free :smiley:

You could go to sky.com and speak to them on live chat

Yeah that's very dopey of me haha

Has anyone managed to sign up even though they already have Sky TV at their address?:smiley:

What did you do at the checkout, did you do it under a different name but same address? Thanks.

Oops forgot to sign up, if anyone has a spare code it will be appreciated.

If I switch from plusnet without contacting them will they cut me off? Pretty sure it's LLU so I wouldn't need to ask for a mac code anyway. Even though I'm pretty sure they will bill me £30 cessation and keep making excuses to charge me it.

Just mis-spell your surname. Once service is live you can always call Sky to have the error corrected.

Sky told me if anyone at that property was already a Sky customer then you could not go for this offer so changing the name should not make any difference

sky said i don't need to contact my provider and they take care of it.

Sky told you wrong. The ordering system checks the inputted surname and address against it's CRM system (Chordiant) for matches of accounts with either current live services or those ceased within the last 12 months. If there is a match, you're an existing customer. Mispelling the surname or adding and "A" to the house number doesn't return a match and so the order will go through.

I decided to buy the code from ebay for £10 and registered - so all should be good

Ok - will give it a try

Anyone got a code they are not using ? just got stung from BT, extra £5 for BT Sports or change my 12 month contract to a 18 months to keep it free - they must think customers are stupid!, all within the first month of my contract :/

Hi guys can anyone please confirm if its 12 months contract or 18 months? Many thanks

Nice one, thanks. :smirk:

Hi thanks for replying but why it said
Free for 12 months (then £7.50 a month)
+ Sky Line Rental £8.20 a month for 12 months (then £16.40 a month)
+ £100 Bill Credit?

Its a12 month contract and discounts will end after 12 months, you can cancel anytime after 12 months if not happy with the price..

£100 credit from sky will be credited in your sky account on your first bill after activation.

Because this is a 12 month contract after this period everything returns to full price. They are sucking you in with this offer and hoping you will stay after the 12 months is over. Just cancel when the offer period finishes to avoiding paying full price !

I have the code, is there a special link to the offer?

can we claim the termination fee from current supplier when we join sky on this offer?

I may have deleted the sky email, but i found the link on MSE, i doubt also about the cancellation charge, but if they do, top offer. cheers for the reply.

Comment that will be 100 vouchers not cash

In case another spare code turns up........... I'm still lurking on the thread :-)

Legend........... I'll keep lurking

Damn missed it. It would of been idea for my Dad, who's just moved into his own place.

Any chance someone has a code that'll help out a disabled old man??

if ive signed up to sky but they have not been out to install the dish etc can i cancel and take up this offer ?

Comment **** have changed the terms again, they offered a family member vouchers only , oh well lol

For those who desperately want a code - someone is selling on EBay for 19.99.
I bought mine from Ebay yesterday for £10 and registered.

anyone received a confirmation email so far since ordering?

Why can't I create a sky id? once I get the confirmation email it says check account online but when you enter an email it says it's already registered to an account. Tried several email addresses all say same thing. I've never had a sky id.

So has anyone requested a MAC code from their current provider? Anyone else currently with TalkTalk?

Anybody with extra codes please?

Sorry - this ebay listing has ended - so it must have been bought
Just check on ebay for Sky Broadband Code. Someone else may list one. 2 have been on this morning and have been purchased

Thanks.. I will try..

I have just contacted EE. Just to make sure that all the correct things have been done. They told me that you have to give 14 days notice to cancel. So I am pleased I called them. My EE Broadband will cancel on July 4th and SKY starts on July 3rd. Just a watch-out for those cancellation charges.

Hi guys, does anyone have a spare code please? I've lost my job this week so would really appreciate it :disappointed: xxx

TalkTalk T&C says there is a £40 fee payable if you do not ask for MAC. It says that they have to pay to BT.
I wonder with new rules if this has changed but not updated yet? Anyone know?

Hi, I just seen another code on EBAY, this is the link and good luck
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sky-Broadband-And-Telephone-Line-Discount-Code-5-For-A-Year-/161739706524?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item25a870109c

No Luck :disappointed:
Listing Ended.. Thanks for your help :smiley:

just a quick word of warning, dont add a tv package to your account anytime during the 12 month period or your "free" internet will be gone as the 100 credit will get eaten up by your tv subscription

ooh thanks for that jackthabiskit - I was thinking of doing it once the sky BB was active.

this is the message I am getting, currently with BT for line rental and BB

Sky Hub
Sky Broadband Unlimited
Sky Talk Line Rental
Sky Talk Weekends
Your Sky Broadband & Talk will be activated shortly. We’ll be able to confirm your activation date within 48 hours.

From their own website: http://help2.talktalk.co.uk/how-can-i-get-migration-authorisation-code-mac

Update! From 20th June 2015 you no longer need a Migration Authorisation Code (MAC) to change broadband provider in the UK. We are no longer able to provide a MAC to you.

You want a transfer hence mac not termination. Perhaps they misunderstood? All providers charge for termination.

Comment it will not still be free, if you add tv it will be added to your account number so you will have the broadband and tv packages, so for example if you are getting billed 8.20 for this deal and 25 for tv, 33.20 will be deducted from your credit and once thats been eaten up you will be paying the 33.20 a month, i say this as i had a deal with tv and broadband plus 75 credit and i only had 3 free months

I know what you mean , as soon as the credit is used up you have to pay.

But the £100 still gets taken off your bill, so if you want tv it doesn't make any difference, essentially you're not paying for your bb/lr , or you're getting 3 months free bb/lr/tv.

I didn't pay any termination fee to TalkTalk and I was only in the 6th month of my 18 months contract. They sent me an email on the 18th of May about some price changes and I had 30 days from receiving that email to give them a notice if I wish to leave. I called them on the 16th of June to give them my notice as I was planning to leave anyway to join Virgin Media. Then I saw this deal a couple of days later.

I have got the sky code but still haven't used it yet as I am in two minds whether I should go backwards by signing up to a (max) 17mbps with no TV (From 38mbps Fibre broadband with Plus TV) or join Virgin media on their big easy bundle.

Few nearly signed up and just got to the confirmation page but the then it said you will get estimated speeds between 2-5.2mbps-no chance when coming from 50mbps and daring to advertise a speed of 17mbps which I would have not minded-poor if you ask me but great for lots of people who can put up with them speeds I mean £5.35 for the year fantastic.

https://promotioncode.sky.com/campaigns/EC25, for those looking for a TV deal. Ends 25th of June. £25 for all packages.

Anyone have a spare code please?

Link won't open.

Ahh, you had a comma at the end, that's why :-)

I just tried and it gave me a code.

Oops! https://promotioncode.sky.com/campaigns/EC25

I have not read all 700+ comments yet...

I'm with Talktalk and for this price would leave.

I have connection problems over wifi and speed is not great.
HOWEVER - after checking on http://www.uswitch.com/broadband/speedtest/streetstats/ though, I am not so sure, as the speeds for sky broadband are even lower on average in my area.

Going for this would save £££, but this would be a gamble as to the speeds I would get.
I also have 3 talktalk mobile sims which are cheap, which I would have to pay full price should I go with Sky.

Not so sure I should go forwards.

Anyone else have doubts on the speed of Broadband?

You can do a compatibility check from the SKY website

Another one of these codes are on Ebay for 19.99

Comment thats not this deal

Comment oh sorry didnt see the above quote lol

Please has anyone got a spare code mine didn't work and we are just about to move house so this would be such a great deal for us.

Tried to but couldn't get on it was unavailable then rang and was told the code had been already used and there was nothing they could do as all codes have been sent out for this deal. So now without a code wish I'd applied for 2

I've just joined, paid the £5, created my Sky ID etc.

However, throughout the application, there were a couple of reminders of your package which included the £100 bill credit. Upon logging in though, this £100 credit isn't mentioned in my Sky account. Is this how Sky normal works with regards to the credit? Or will it show up on the 1st bill?

Would be grateful if someone could check/clarify for me. Thank you.

Also, when I click on My Package, it has a box to the left of the television saying Sky TV, which I haven't chosen. Anyone else got this too?

Sorry I would have give it to you straight away but im going to give it to a family member who is been ripped off by bt with her package.

Thanks. In that case there's no need for them to show the box at all. Just another attempt for them to get us to choose Sky TV I guess

They gave this fantastic offer - so you can bet on them trying their hardest to get you to purchase other stuff from them. I just put in for the Penny Dreadful competition

For those who are buying these codes from Ebay - please make sure you verify the code with someone on SKY Live Chat as soon as you get the code. I would hate for people to buy a code which has already been used.

If anyone has a spare code it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

A bit off the topic here, I was with BT and after getting this offer got an email from BT about Sorry you are leaving and all that along with this

As you've got equipment from BT, you'll need to pay:
£55.00 for broadband equipment charges.

I have no intention to keep their equipment - and tried ringing their customer care no, but been waiting for a bit to speak to anyone.

I mean I am leaving in th 11th month of my 12 month contract and I got to pay an early termination fees, but 55 for the equipment sounds a bit harsh......

any suggestions

you probably have a good point - my recommendation was really for those who were buying for other people and therefore would not be testing these codes straight away

I'm not surprised, you're dumber than mud.

Hi

I have just checked on their site and there would be a £20 connection fee for setting up the land line.

Anyone else moving on from Talktalk?

They only charge that if your landline is not connected. I did not have to pay this as my landline was already connected and in use with Orange

Ok thanks for the reply

Comment you ****... hahaha is not my fault you have the brain of a 5 year old, go get yourself a back to school book and learn some maths

It doesn't matter if you take TV afterwards because either way you'll have to pay for TV and you'll still get the £100. If you end up using your credit up faster, who cares.

I have a code if anyone wants one

thanks again, was hoping to get them on the phone, but it's quite bust at this time, so just on the hold to try to see if this can happen, thanks anyway.

but just a bit furious - for BT to just bill us for this equipment, even if I am happy to send it back - going through all the terms and conditions, there is someplace they mention that - a fee may be chargeable if u end you contract earlier - not specifying anything about the equipment, well what can we do right............

Comment if it comes to it, ask sky if they will pay the 55 quid as credit? when i was with plusnet a few years ago they wanted 80 pounds as a final charge but i contacted sky to let them know and they offered me it as a credit to my account, tell sky you really want to join them but this is holding you back

May be worth speaking to BT again and tell them if they don't drop the charge then you will be reporting the matter to the Ombudsman to sort out.

another update,

on phone with Sky - They confirmed, that they won't be able to pay the "equipment fees" but will cover any early termination fees.

regarding postponing the start date, as the order only went in today, they have asked me to call back after Tuesday - to see if it could be done, anyway , I have until 2nd July to still cancel the order/move to sky - so let's see.

will def keep trying and will update here as well

was just wondering, out of the 14,500 codes send out, and I am the only one getting this type of grief, unbelievable

if anyone was lucky enough to get a code which they are not going to use please message me as I would gladly use it thanks!

They don't just take your word for it. You need to provide them your proof (final bill) which must show the early termination charged along with your account details.

I would appreciate a code if any available.
(just moved into new house so money's tight!)

Comment they didnt ask me, they just credited 80 pounds, it was a few years ago mind you, also depends who you speak to

Can anyone who has ordered this deal for a house they are moving to ,say if it matters what address the credit card you use to get offer is at,does it need to be at your current address,even if you are wanting the offer for a move to a new house or flat,thanks for any info.

Anyone?:disappointed:

Comment i think people were changing a digit in there door number, adding an A or B , well i think thats what it was

You sure qwerta? I didn't know Sky could change the name on a Sky account.

I think Sky would work out that's why people are doing it though.

Comment when i called sales to ask i was just told
to choose another person in the house who hasnt got a sky account and register under their name

can anyone reply to this comment from someone on this thread earlier and clarify this for us,thanks,here is the quote, For all those looking to arrange the deal for an impending address change / house move: note the requirement for a refundable £5 fee to be charged to a card during signup, this may fail if the registered cardholder address is different to the service / installation address.
From MSE: "You pay £5 upfront to 'verify your card' but you get it back. It's credited on the first bill."

Renewed sky talk & broadband for a year only on Tuesday. Will I be able to sign up to this deal in OHs name & tweaking the address?
Bit worried I might end up with no service at home.

Comment if you still see the checkout page there should he an assigned account number on it, then go to the sky website and register a sky id , then you can keep an eye on the order

Dalekfan69 pm'd me first guys so he got the code

Damn, didn't know there is a quota, too late now.

Hi There, I was trying to help you get a code earlier today. Can you tell me if you managed to get one yet

Hi There, I do have a code, and have been helping peeps try and get codes all day. Whether it is by Ebay or just encouraging people who dont have them to pass them on to those who want them

I can see that but wonder why you asked for a spare code when you already had one.

I entered my email wrong for my code. Just missed out a letter. Tried to get sky to resend but apparently it's money saving expert that deals with it. So one code down the drain

I made a £5 offer on this ebay listing - which was declined as the person already has offers for £15. They are holding out for the whole 19.99

I already have sky tv, will is till be able to get this offer?

I do have a code, if not then I will pass it on t my friend, as I dont currently have broadband, thanks

No problems - it is to give away and not for me. As I already have mine

Maybe you are the secret Ebayer making loads of money out of free codes?

Think the can use a siblings or partner's name or add a,b or any letter to their address

I spoke to SKY live chat and they said that they dont have a problem with it - as long as the code is valid - I mean WTF

No way - I absolutely hate the way this offer is feeding greed

So do you have one to give away? If so I desperately need one as mine would not work

I will wait to see if sandhyasindhuja needs it first. As I have been trying to help this person for hours

Thanks, will email them now

Let me know how you get on - as I am sure there will be a few peeps in this same situation

You answered my post yesterday about my non working code. I asked several times on here if anyone had a spare code. I don't think anyone should be encouraged to pay an eBay pirate.
If you've got a spare code then please can I have it. We are moving house and absolutely skint so won't be able to afford phone or broadband without this deal

I actually realised my mistake, tried to reorder buy it won't let me as it was property specific. Come to realise after the fact that I could have changed my address and it would've been fine still....

Will let you guys know if I get a reply.

Also speak to SKY live chat - tell them you have a valid code - but just input the details incorrectly

Let me know how you get on - hopefully all should be fine - If you need help then dont forget to use SKY live chat - without giving them the code

Sorry, this topic is getting mad with the volume of comments and difficult to follow. I have tried to read everything but may have missed something as some of it I skimmed. So if this has already been answered I apologise.

Has anyone tried to use their code and had it declined as you were a customer less than twelve months ago? If so does the code then become invalid or can it be passed along or tried again with a different name or slightly different address?

I ask as I have got a code, I left Sky at the end of June last year, so may be just within the twelve month period, but also they kept billing me until August due to an error their end (well between them and PlusNet) which was later corrected and as such might have me as a customer until August last year.

Thanks so much will let you know if it works.
Have had terrible problems getting on live chat though and had to phone them but they are not interested if the code doesn't work or has been used before.

I hope yours works fine - and please understand that if I get a code that I am just trying to be fair on who I give it to.
I also agree with paying Ebay pirates £20 for this code - even tho I did pay £10 for mine - I just would not pay £20

Thanks I saw that but I am a poor sad goit who lives alone :disappointed: I might just add an A to my address and then get it corrected later. Need to double check with Sky they will pay exit fees along with honouring this still as will incur a cancellation on my PlusNet fibre as six months left in the contract.

I also saw a post earlier saying SKY normally pay up to £100 towards the termination costs - I have not been able to verify this tho

Any existing customer on sky how much u get speed compared to what sky estimated when entering post code.

I have the code, but have not receive the link for ordering. Any suggestion? Thanks!

Try these if your code did not arrive
MSE shows this - try and you never know
Has your MSE blagged voucher or cashback not arrived?
We often negotiate special deals with companies for you that involve them paying you vouchers or cashback. These normally arrive in 28-100 days of getting the service, and most people get them with no problems. But if yours hasn't come, we've set up [email protected]. Please incl your full name, order date, order reference & email you signed up with and we will pass these onto the relevant company to sort.

Thanks Dalekfan69 at last signed up but got to wait for an engineer visit. Bit suprised as thought there was an old line at the new house. Got to wait till July 6th but am well pleased thanks again for the code.

Thanks will try that

Hi Still after a code if anyone has a spare

Me too

Thanks for all replies regarding this much appreciated,as was bit worried as you had to actually live at the address you were wanting the deal for,so they could verify card for the £5.00 fee,will sky accept a maestro card for the £5.00 when signing up,thanks again.

any one tried prepaid master card ?

Not sure about card payment verification options during signup, but if you look at the Sky payments help page it states:
What payment methods do you accept?
Credit and debit cards from Mastercard and Visa.
Can I pay with a Maestro or Solo card?
No, Sky Payments no longer accepts payment using Maestro and Solo cards.
http://help.sky.com/articles/help-for-sky-payments-customers

Hi has anyone got a spare code?

Thanks!

Was kindly given a free code here last night which I've registered and very grateful for.
Would love another one for my 80 year old mum who wants to learn how to use a computer and get on the Internet.
If anyone can help please PM me and many thanks Chi

Heres another question hope someone can answer I have just moved to a new flat ,and the person who was in before me had sky,there is a phone line and socket.so if I apply for this deal with my name and this address will it work ok,although it is previous sky customer but with different name,thanks.

.
ok thanks for that,am going to apply on Monday for deal, cannot believe what sky are making out of this,is it just the publicity and press?

Yes because in small print its if they increase prices by more in 10% in any one period you can do this.
they spread it out over 2 increases so llots of people couldn't cancel without paying them a fee....

Yes publicity and they will hopefully sell you other packages

Comment 14k customers on a almost free deal is nothing for sky, they make millions from tv subscriptions, and this probably adds to their required quota of new customers per annum...we arent complaining lol

On the off chance that anyone has one left and is still reading this thread, any code going spare? Many thanks

Many thanks. Works very well.

DalekFan69, many thanks!

If anyone has an extra code, could I please please have one? I would really appreciate it. Many thanks!

Would really appreciate a code if anyone has one going spare :smiley:

Very pleased that I managed to get onto this deal and my connection date is 6th July. I was hoping to choose my own start date but wasn't given the option. Annoyingly I didn't request a code for my mother at the same time on her email address as her current contract expires shortly after mine. Feel a bit guilty about that.

Also I didn't go through any cashback site like topcashback, was that a missed opportunity?

Anyway thanks to rodrigobr for posting the deal. I was lucky enough to spot it at work and get onto it quick.

cheers, all sorted with that now.

right guys , dont want to give anyone kittens but ive just had some scary news from the sales team, apparently my address was spelt wrong which i know wasnt as they sent me a confirmation,anyway, ive been told openreach engineers did a check and they cant find my house ao my order may be cancelled absolutely gutted :disappointed: , anyone who gave wrong details may be in the same boat as me , but their system messed mine up the ****, i also called tech support so they can re-order the engineer and im gonna find out on tuesday, gutted if i lose this :disappointed:

hear hear

The code isn't working for me, maybe because I already have Sky TV. If anyone wants to try the code it's BBCU45ORQEA803

I don't appear to have that option yet but then my modem hasn't even been dispatched and I don't have a clue when the broadband will go live only the phone line which is the 6th July. I guess I have to wait to get an initial installation date before I can change it.

Comment your activation date will arrive with the router

Comment theres going to be some gutted hukd members lol , you snooze you lose i guess lol

So SKY can increase prices over the contract period or not?

Could you please send a link to the terms, thank you

Another question. You are asked for £6.75 up front for the router which you pay for with your credit card for delivery and then you have 12 payments of 8.20 which is £98.40 so isn't the deal cost actually the modem delivery cost of £6.75 and you lose the £1.60 credit if you transfer to another broadband supplier at the end of 12 months.
