Now here me out out before all the cold votes.
12 months ago, Sky offered Sky Talk(line rental), free 12m broadband and 100£ account credit which all equated to about 6£ (for postage of the router) for the whole term of the contract. Many of us here took up that deal which was posted here.
That credit ended this month on my account when I noticed sky took 3£ish from my bank to cover whats due after the few pounds of the 100£ credit was used up. I looked online to see what the latest and cheapest broadband deals there were to be had, nothing came close to the sky deal from last year. Cheapest was PlusNet which was like 230£ for 12m. Not impressed with my search, I gave sky a call today. I went straight to cancellations and asked if they had any deals on as my current one just expired. The girl on the phone offered me free broadband and a discounted line rental for 12.50. As pleased as I was with this offer, I asked of there's any way that can be made cheaper, she tapped away and told me she could discount the line rental down to 10£ pm. I accepted the offer and am happy to be now paying 10£ for sky line rental and unlimited broadband for the next 12 months.
I thought I'd post this because I know dozens of us took up the deal that was posted here 12 months ago and I think you'd be able to get the same deal as I did if you're looking to renew.
Sorry for the long post, I'd post a potato if I could.

I cancelled all sky TV packages (fed up paying for about two good programmes per week). I then asked to cancel my broadband and sky talk and the gave me it for FREE for a year on a 12 month deal. I only pay for the line and so far, the broadband quality has remained at the same speed. told them I was going to BT.

Dont phone,do it online chat?but i would advise just leaving as the best deal will be given to you after you leave by going back into your account and clicking the left sky in the last 12 months link,should get at least 60% that way or more.

This was the number I called. When prompted via the automated service, I responded with "broadband cancellation".

Jesus I could only get 3 months free, we've been with them for nearly 7 years now and I really pushed to even get 3 months...
Is there any way to get a better deal if you've just accepted a contact with them??

I know ow sky can be funny with loyalty, like every other company.
The deal myself and others signed up to last year was a special offer, a great one tbh. It just cost us 6£ for the whole year for phone and bb. I didn't make any changes to my package, so I'm not sure of that helps with getting a cheaper deal. There's a guy I work with who claims he hasn't paid for sky for the last 3years or so. He paid for his first month, then doesn't pay any of his bills. 6 months later, Sky contact him to write off the account bill of he's willing to sign up for a different contract, which he accepts and then doesn't pay again. He repeats the process and done so for the last 3yrs. Hard to believe though.
