only today and only for you

Why only for me.
If you call and ask it could be for you too Mr Grumpy...

Good to know what is being offered to people so others know what to aim for when trying to haggle. We gave notice last week for both Sky TV and Broadband and will wait to see whats offered.

better than this? A fiver maybe? Free? *sighs*

I will check ours, which i think may be up for renewal soon :innocent:

If you leave it till longer you get better deals

I was also offered the same deal earlier today by Sky, when I cited the current Plusnet offer.

any good renewal offers incl anytime calls and international calls?

I have sky tv and am looking to get broadband with them is there any possibility they would offer me the same

Just tried this. I've got 3 wks left on my contract as well but they wouldn't budge below £15 mth.

I've always been offered unlimited broadband free, so I think the free broadband is standard. Good deal getting the line rental for £10 though. When I last renewed I got free unlimited broadband with £17.70 line rental & £50 credit on my account.

Got line rental and fibre BB for £20 PM for 12 more months, on Monday, retensions.

Well ok for some I had full package at half price for a year, my contract was up and now it's a eye watering £120 a month. I rang up told them there was no way I was paying £120 a month I want a better deal... I got... Nothing and was told I should be grateful for the free TV I got last year. I asked her if I could cancel sky and rejoin with a new customer deal I was told no only after 12 months. So I've cancelled anyway.
I've now got my phone and broadband from ee for £18 a month, just need a tv deal now. Any ideas?

can you tell me their phone number? thanks

I saw this offer too. But I didn't want to go through the hassle of not having internet for a week.
Plus with Sky I never had a problem with connections.
Better the devil you know I say, as with some the connection drops all the time...

Ah thanks for that! Let's hope they ring me!

Got mine for £7.50 per month for 12 months

Just got my line rental 12 months £7.40 per month and fibre another 12 months for £10 per month
Very pleased :smirk:

I've been on unlimited fibre since last year for only £7.50 a month as line rental for free on the line rental saver deal. It's been good and happy with the deal.

I got line rental plus unlimited broadband for 2.5 per month without cashback

That's the deal I had as well but don't forget the upfront payment £5.00 I think it was and £6.50 for router delivery so it's £11.50 I paid and £8.70 a month for 12 months total paid £115.90 - £100.00 credit in my account it was £15.90 into 12 months comes to £1.35 a month for broadband and line rental

The deal I got from sky was 60% off and £100 credit for TV.. Don't get broadband through sky though as there fibre is expensive and they couldn't match virgin deal

Omg just rang got 8 days left before switch off and could only offer £34 for bb and calls rip off

Called up the number as im out of contract best they could do was free bb £25 with unlimted calls and line rental :disappointed:

Interesting
.......................

Just wanted to say a big thank you to OP, gave Sky a call told them I wanted to cancel and mentioned the Plusnet deal, offered free broadband for 12 months and £10 line rental straight away, very pleased!

Probably on the phone for about 40 mins whilst they checked options, availability etc. Read me the spiel and then processed the order, had a laugh and good banter with the rep, who originally offered it at a tenner all in then said he could knock another 2.50 off a month right at the end.

I had just got to the end of a year of 7.50 for unlimited standard bb and no line rental and rang to see if they could continue it before i decided to leave. Previously was an o2 bb customer moved to sky when they purchased the service.

£14 if you taking evening and weekend calls , with out calls only broad band and line rental £10.

Just tried and they offered me £17.44, worth trying again at some point?

Yeah, rang he number you said above, I'll try again tomorrow.

I'd advise cancelling a month before your contract is up (unless they offer a silly deal), otherwise you'll get a nasty bill the next month. Then in the weeks to come they'll be calling you left right and centre with deals for retention.

The phone agent told me you can cancel the 'cancellation' about 3 working days before the date you originally discussed, so you're not in jeopardy of losing 'retention' deals which Sky seem to do quite well on for their customers compared with other companies.

If you do stay with them ask them when the earliest is that you can call to cancel the new contract before it expires and set a calendar reminder! Best of luck. :sunglasses:

Got an email off them today offering £10 off line rental meaning it would cost £17.40 in total, rang the number on there and the guy said the best he could do me was £15 a month but if I accepted the offer yesterday (which was free broadband) I would get £20 off overall. I then rang cancellations and the lady there applied both of the deals so it's now £7.40 a month. Also offered me fibre at £17.40.

Thank you op, gave them a call, managed to get the £10 a month and £25 credit to my account, happy with that :smiley:

My Sky Broadband is finishing on October 5th. I was on 12 month Free Broadband and half price line rental of £8.70 a month

I called them today and they offered to me for £27.40. I'll break it down for you it's £10.00 broadband and £17.40 line rental total is £27.40 a month during 12 months contract

I said I want to cancel and they came back with £10.00 a month for free broadband and line rental during 12 months contract if I decide to stay on.

What shall I do stay with them or cancel and get better elsewhere.

ive just got unlimited fibre and line rental for £20 a month is that any good wasn't sure if this deal was for the standard broadband or fibre.

I managed to get this same deal. They offered me just line rental price but I told them that I would rather switch to a different provider who would give me cashback etc. Then they offered me just £10 pm for this same deal, which I accepted.

Hi, does anyone know if I change the broadband provider, if there will be any break of service? My cancellation email states 'Please note it can take up to ten working days for the broadband service to be removed from your phone line, after which your new provider will be able to take over your phone line.'

Many thanks in advance :smiley:

Thanks...that's too bad. But Sky only offered me £17.40pm for unlimited BB and line rental.

Thanks a lot :smiley:
I am thinking of moving to Plusnet too, how is it comparing to sky?
My Sky contract ends on 16 September, shall I set the install date for Plusnet as 16 September?
Thanks again

It's not as fast (about 25% slower) but it will probably depend on location. The router range is less than the sky one (still fine in 3 bed,2 story house) just couldn't get as far walking down the road. If you have your own router you can save the £6.95 and use your own. You are not locked in like sky.
No down time so been reliable so far (only 11 days).

Yes just request a change over date of the 16th. I think they need a minimum of 10 days and a maximum of 30 days.

Thank you op! Voted :smile:

First called the cancellation line and was offered £12.50pm for line rental+bb. The agent said she'd leave a note on the system with details of the offer so no urgency. I could call back within the next 3 weeks or so should I decide to stay on. My contract was ending on 5 October.

I called back and spoke to another agent. I was offered the £10pm only if I renewed my contract today. Him of 'only today' fame! :smile: I ended up accepting as it's still a very good deal and I enjoyed much of my sky connection free of charge for about 10 months this past year :smiley:

Thanks again op. I wasn't looking forward to spending time shopping around for a broadband deal. This was pain-free and a better deal than I expected to get!

Just called up to cancel was offered £15 but refused and then offered this £10 deal. Would have acceoted £15 had I not known about this so thank you.

Thanks, I only have the sky router, don't suppose it's unlocked?

Did you have around 10 days without internet connection? I could not afford that :disappointed:

No you can't use the sky one but keep it safe as you may need it in 12 months time.

No I had about 10 hours down. Sky disconnected in the morning and I was on Plusnet by teatime.

I wouldn't recommend sky

Thanks :smiley:
May I also ask how long did you contact Plusnet before the day Plusnet took over?

It was 14 days.

Thanks a lot, that's really helpful :smiley:

Just when I need to call them they are having technical difficulties with their lines...

good deal for those who don't need fibre. I managed to get fibre and line rental at £20pm for 12months when I threatened to switch to BT

Useless for Kodi unless you pay for a VPN

Quite a while now most of the decent add ons are blocked with the "big four" ISPs

Will work but with greatly reduced content but if that doesn't concern you then is a really good deal.

Including the likes of 1channel? What's the URL updater?

Google is your friend.

Hmm im not going to vote anything here because just last week I got 60% off the entire bundle and no contract with it. This includes (although I decided not to go for it) Sky Q and their fibre broadband and phone plan too.

So im not voting because its obviously a good deal for OP but I think there are better deals to be had if you jus hand your notice in and wait a few weeks for them to beg.

EDIT: Sorry just to put a number on it, Im now paying £38p/m no contract for their complete bundle, HD pack and multiroom.
Tell them their offer isn't good enough then cancel and within a week you'll be offered 50% off and within 2 weeks it'll be 60%. Probably would go to 70% but I'm away and won't be around when the original with off date occurred and frankly didn't want to miss the rugby championship.

Hmm, annoying that I just had the same conversation myself before coming on here, best I got was 12.50 a month for the same deal..Hey ho, happy enough I suppose.

Ofcom should force providers to abolish line rental, it's a joke to be charged for it if you don't use it, my phone isn't even plugged in.

personally had no joy from them, I phoned asking for a retention deal after seeing another thread on here about they're £10 retention deal, i stated the current plusnet offer (which was ~ £9.50 a month after cash back at the time) they wouldn't budge.
so I went with the plusnet deal, that was 5 weeks ago, I've been without internet now for 3 weeks and have just been told by plusnet that it'll be another week and half before I'm connected, this was all after I paid for the entire year up front, they declined my cash back too. congrats to anyone that got the deal or managed to switch without issue.
I just thought I post this here to vent a bit of pent up anger as this farce of an internet switch has been nothing but an headache since the beginning, why couldn't sky of just offered me the deal :disappointed:

Is this Fibre or the standard crappie 2mb

I've had this for a little while and can confirm I'm still paying £10 a month. I didn't post it as I wasn't sure if they would offer it in every case.

same for me it's the same retention deal I got when I negotiate the subscription fee for another 12 month contract. Are you living in london? I presume that's the price for anyone in London and maybe less outside london.

I got the £10 per month Thank you OP :-) Right on time ...

Hello! I just got off the phone with Sky. My 12 months was ending soon, I spoke to a friendly guy, said he'll do £10 p/m for the line rental and free broadband, and I also managed to get a £10 credit.

FYI for new Sky customers offer, £17.40 p/m line rental and free broadband, plus £100 Mastercard prepaid card, so works out £9.07 p/m over 12 months.

​I thought about citing that deal too but the operator said because I got 100 m&s last year, I wouldn't be elligible for the new offer. :-(

​I'm up in Yorkshire... happy enough with 12.50 I suppose based on most of other offers at the mo. No need to fart about re setting wifi, waiting for new router and any cashback claim.

​I find it a bit tedious finding the right source that isn't blocked for kodi so I go old school and use my nas... plus only on basic bb.

Plusnet went up to £17.99 yesterday...but if you bear in mind you get £123.00 TopCashBack... You can see why they will do it for a tenner....saves them paying out to referral sites every year

Your right kodi sucks such an effort now days better of with a now TV & plex iptv so much better

Anyone know what line rental saver is? I've signed up for free unlimited broadband starts at the end of the month. Customer chat advisor said I could call up after my first bill a few days after services start and sign up for line rental saver but didn't say how much the lump sum would be. Tbh I'm happy with the deal - 12 x 17.70, minus the 75 Mastercard and 65 cashback through quid Co, it will work out cheap

I used Tiscali and talktalk for years before I use sky on my last contract. I thought it's a prime brand and in the end I was dissapointed. the speed was slower and often dropped. I'm glad my contract is over and switched to bt for 13.5/mo

Internet is really bad with sky

So what was plusnet's reason for changing the install date (from 12/08 or whatever)?

when I was negotiating the deal with sky I was bluffing with them. I said I've got multiple offers from different ISPs and your deal isn't that appealing. Initially sky made me an offer of £17.50 per month and after my bluff they gave me £5 off each month for 12 month contract. And you're right it also saves me time from setting up new modem and landline etc.

Called Sky the other day, as my current deal was also up. Mentioned the new Vodafone deal was very tempting and could they do any better. They did and offered me Unlimited Fibre (between 38-40MB) for £10 a month and £10 line rental. All for a new 12 month contract. signed up with them there and then. cheaper and the minimum contract is 6 months less than if I had signed with Vodafone :smiley:

No need for that response and I most certainly am not! You loose approx 30% of content with Sky, Virgin and BT due to court orders blocking a lot of the common add ons.
You are rude and misinformed.

Change ISP and it works flawlessly

i have no reason to change ISP as ive got a pretty good deal atm with sky £20 for fibre unlimited and line rental. ive tried all sorts of streaming devices and as i said nowtv with plex iptv wipes the floor with broken kodi links and just about anything else out there.

I just binned Sky. We were paying £80/month for our phone, 38Mbps bb & limited TV service (family+HD). Phoned to complain & they offered me the £10 broadband deal with 12 month contract & reduce the TV £38pm package. They got it down to £55pm. I still sacked them off though because BT had faster broadband @52Mbps & similar TV channels and was £55pm. Quidco also tracked £155+£10 special offer to sweeten the deal. Hopefully the BT service is good.... I've been with Sky for 16+ years but just got annoyed paying that much. I'll keep the Sky box as it's wired to 3 TVs in the house. Not decided how to get BT to all TVs - maybe Android boxes and the app...... ideas welcome. I'm not going to run any more cables though until there's a good way to distribute 4k around the home. Might even take on Netflix & Amazon & still be cheaper than Sky!

Now that you've binned them, you'll actually have a much better chance of getting a way better deal than the poor ones you've been offered. http://www.hotukdeals.com/misc/75-off-sky-tv-for-existing-customers-only-works-when-call-specific-number-3-weeks-1741671

With Sky for 12 months , the last two months broadband was dropping off every day after 5 engineer visits including BT Openreach and a new router and cables the problem persisted i left went to Plusnet and the problem miraculously disappeared.............

They will be back on to you with half price everything again inside a fortnight.

I'll try something new for a change & stick with BT for now. Would like Sky Q eventually. Sky need to sort out their pricing. Charging more for HD these days is ridiculous.

moved to Vodafone fibre. £28/month for 78 mbits truly unlimited. you can get half the speed for £24 and their router is lights years away from the crappy one that Sky provides, probably the best router around compared tor the competition. Was able to keep phone number and they took care of my cancelation with sky with no downtime. Perfect!

Interesting

I want this : https://ultrafibreoptic.talktalk.co.uk/ but I'm 0.5km from the catchment.... one day hopefully UFO will land!

was thinking about this deal myself how are the speeds at peek times also do they have any traffic shapping etc? just signed up with sky for a new deal but there already getting on my nerves messing my bill up etc

I tried cancelling TV and phone earlier this year and didn't get any offers.Rang back a few weeks ago stating I could get a better deal with Talk Talk so I got my BB free (was£7.50 a mth), Anytine calls for £4 instead of £8, and line rental £17.70.Out of the blue I got an email a couple of weeks ago offering £10 off my line rental for a year so snapped it up

You need to up your haggle game

I'll take 'rude' and 'no need for that response' but not 'misinformed'.

You stated it's useless for Kodi - that is simply incorrect, misleading and misinformed.

I, and many many other people, use Kodi with Sky without VPN. The only add on I have any issue with is 1Channel/Primewire. But I just use many of the readily available add ons - Velocity, Release Hub, SALTS, VC Channel all of which work without VPN and Debrid. Of course Debrid makes for a better experience.

What is Sky q silver?

I'm a new customer and I got fibre, phone line, installations, and Sky basic package for 27.40 and £20 credit. Want to know if I've not haggled enough?

I pay only for line rental. Unlimited Broadband I have for free. Speed only up to 16 mb but is for free

Very easy to get a decent deal with sky. Just called and asked for a new deal as mine expires in 2 weeks. Got offered 20 a month for fibre unlimited and line rental. Mentioned bt and got another £30 credit applied to account. If at first you don't succeed, try and try again

This worked out slightly better for me. I went on sky website under my sky. Went to the cancel my subscription and it offered my free unlimited internet. I then phoned sky and said I wanted to cancel. They offered me £10 line rental + 25% off tv package. I mentioned the website was offering free broadband too. The nice lady then proceeded to give me the offer in this post (free BB + £10 line rental) + an extra 25% of tv. I'm not sure if everyone can get the free bb offer on the website but it's a nice way to start negotiations if you already have that up your sleeve

best i got was 12.50 but ill take it

Nice man? I always get a right cocky arrogant twit.

Not that HOT for standard adsl broadband buddy my sky adsl is only 7.50 exclusive of line rental and vat

So £7.50 + line rental = £20+? That's not good.

Anyone seen/had any offers for upgrading for sky fiber (38mbps) unlimited to fiber max (76mbps)?

So to be clear if have standard adsl broadband you should be paying no more than £10 a month inclusive of line rental if you want fibre add £another £10 at most if your paying anymore than your deal is not great.

I tried as there's currently a deal for new customers on the 76meg for £15 a month no luck tho.

I left sky tv and they gave me a deal free broadband unlimited and half price line rental for 1year. Also keep sky + features for free.
I recently came back to sky for 60% off all bundles and £75 credit. Also keeping my broadband deal. I also have anytime extra. HD £6.00pm Happy days. :smile:

​they had issues taking over the sky line, asked me to contact sky to sort it, after several phones calls to sky and countless hours in their never ending phone queues sky finally told me the line was fine and had been released and the issue was with plusnet, I then relayed that back to plusnet, following that there was a 10 day silence before they finally said they're setting me up a new line with new number (bye-bye the number I've had for the past 20 years) not that it really bothers me as I don't use a landline anymore, but still could of quite easily not been the case. also in the time between my first comment and this one they have messaged me again saying it's going to be delayed an extra day now, no reason given, the mind boggles.

Not so! I use kodi on 3 different set ups every day, no VPN and no prob (Sky fibre). Also got my mate installed (also Sky) again no VPN and no probs.

I did the same a month ago, played the waiting game, and lo and behold I received an email offering me 50% off my sky package for another 12 months...I still rang up and tried to haggle. The guy offered me another £50 off and that was it, happy to sign up for relaible broadband and telly again for a year. :man:

You loose approx 30% of the content through blocked urls and dead links. Stuff I thought didn't work miraculously sprang to life when I left.

Called Sky up yesterday to cancel my BB. Had the MSE deal from last year with account credit etc. As I'd used up the majority of the credit my projected bill for October was £27 so decided to move.
Girl I spoke to at Sky was great. Ended up with Fibre for £20pm for 12 months - £10 Line rental & £10 Fibre as they no longer do a line rental saver advanced payment. Works out not too much different to the BT or Plusnet deals on offer that I've been looking at.

Had the MSE deal that was on here last year.
Best I could get was 7.50 discount off line rental + 2.50 broadband + 8 anytime calls (which we use).
Total 20.50 per month for 12mths.
Cheaper than I used to pay for BT landline & calls only and cheaper than TT etc. (if you don't count any new customer extras).

thanks hjm you've just halved my bill :smiley:

i got family pack tv, unlimited BB & line rental for £16 mnth from currys.

​is it not a months notice tho?

Listen, you are very rude.
I've been an IT professional for 25 years do not insult my intelligence, I know a plenty about kodi and how to use it.
I have not once discouraged others to use Kodi I merely shared my experience ABOUT THIS ISP that was proven via running a script to measure dead link percentage. Kodi works better on other ISPs that is a fact, 1Channel is one good example that does not work on Sky, Virgin or BT.
You believe what you want it's a free country but just stop being a rude "know it all" OK?

​No problems so far. We're a family of 5, there's always someone online either playing online games, watching youtube, streaming music etc. We're also heavy streamers as I refuse to pay what providers ask for channel bundles, netflix amazon and now tv do the trick for us. That said, I haven't experienced any kind of speed dropping plus the router is just amazing. You can control it from an app on your phone, create beamed wi-fi connections on the fly to guarantee that the device you're using has priority on the use of the broadband, cut the wi-fi on a specific device, etc, all from the app. Really great!!

Currys don't do BB, they have a comparison tool. Or have I missed something?

I called Sky today and got the £10 per month deal, thanks op! They offered me £12.50 to start with but I said a friend has been offered line rental and BB for £10 and after a quick 'chat with the supervisor' she matched the deal.

The Sky service has been fine for me and I generally get 16Mpbs on our ADSL which is perfectly fine for our needs. Not quite as good as last years deal but I can't see me getting line rental and internet for a tenner elsewhere, plus it saves me switching. Heat added :sunglasses:

Rang on Wednesday to cancel and was offered free broadband unlimited (which I believe is a standard thing now). They did originally state that I would just pay £17.40 line rental but after some more time to consider my options, I rang back today only to be offered £5 off the line rental. I'm now paying £12.40 a month for broadband unlimited, line rental and their PAYG call package.

I called up Sky last friday, and stupidly took up the £17.40pm line rental offer. I saw this post and slapped myself in the forehead.
Called them up this morning. because I'm still in the "31 day cooling off period", mentioned that I did take up their offer, but still wanted to move to Plusnet, due to their £9.24pm line rental deal.
They counter offered with the £10pm. I decided to accept the new deal.

An extra happy ending.
They've charged me £15.08 for the rest of the month of September (5 Sep - 30 Sep).
Then discounted me £6.41
Then credited me £15.08 - for cancellation of Sky Talk line rental.
Then charged me £10 for October's line rental.(1 Oct - 30 Oct)
In the end, it's going to cost me £3.59 for Sky Broadband and Line rental for my October 2016 bill.
Then it will be £10pm afterwards for 12 months

I've had nothing but a good experience speaking to Sky customer service. I can't fault them really.

Just phoned Sky to see what I could get (out of contract next month) in short - nothing! I already have fiber at half price and that was the best he could do with line rental on top. I mentioned the £20 for fiber and line rental comments on here and he said he knew nothing about that kind of offer! Doh :disappointed:

I have just BB & telephone with Sky which is just now out of contract. Phoned up today and the lady I spoke to knew nothing about the £10 deal. All she could offer me was £3.75 off my broadband for signing up to a 12 month contract. I obviously declined!!! Will be looking to move elsewhere...

i would try again i have that deal for fibre & line rental £20pm

Topcashback are giving £60.60 back if you upgrade to sky fibre (free for 12 months).

So £17.70p/m line rental less cashback works out at £12.65 p/m for fibre. Not unlimited tho'

Just tried Sky again this morning and got a very helpful guy who still couldn't give me fiber and line rental at £20 - best he could do was half price fiber and standard price line rental. He was obviously doing his best to keep me as a customer but I had my figures ready and could show him a saving of £260.20 if I moved to TalkTalk - he still couldn't improve the offer!

Well done!

Got to try my luck again - did you call 03300 412 548? Tried 0344 241 0499 but no luck, that's the number from the confirmation of cancellation email in case you change your mind.

​No, it was a retention deal so I already had fibre with them. We had problems with the broadband however, so got the fibre activated for free when we upgraded.

My contract is ending soon so rang up cancellations and was offered free broadband only, I said I heard there is an offer of 10£ line rental and free broadband. After checking she offered it to me and I accepted, thanks op for posting this deal

thanks OP, got this deal today!

Rang today and was offered £10 line rental + free broadband for 12 months or £10 unlimited fibre for 12 months
