Prices have been frozen for last 12 months, going up by roughly 1.2% on average.

I suspect if petrol prices had been frozen for 12 months, then only rising by same amount your thoughts would have been different.

But if it makes you feel better, that cost rise is going straight into my pocket as a pay rise  ;)  ;D

Mind you, it's a shame they don't look after the existing customers as well as they work to get new ones ::)

Its true, could do better in that respect. Although recently I did get 4 people from OOF, upgraded to Sports or Movies at 50% discount.

You did indeed Tunnie. Thank you.

Did you take out Sky Broadband? You should have been sent one? I got one when I got my staff subscription couple of years ago. They look like mini digi-boxes....

Unless you mean a WiFi router for Anytime+ ?

Worth a call up & blag, they *might* give you one. Think usual cost is around £60 though  :(

But if you can wait a couple of weeks, I think I have a spare one kicking at home :)

Sky offer a service for a published price. Up to you if you want it. Nobody forces you. If you feel its too expensive for what you get, don't subscribe. Simples.

For me, Sky (even with some of tunnie's generous initial discounts) is more than I want to pay, considering how little I'd use it. So I stick with Freeview.
Title: Re: sky
Post by: TheBoy on 15 July 2012, 10:16:37
That said, I'm all for Sky bashing ;D


I should add, I cancelled my Sky subscription when it went from £13 to £15. For everything - sports and films.
Title: Re: sky
Post by: tunnie on 15 July 2012, 10:22:15
As I'm not a footie fan, I doubt I would subscribe if I did not work for them.

However, what makes it more attractive is all the value added stuff they add in like Broadband.

Thats why I have Virgin Media at my flat, mainly because its a listed building at no dishes are allowed  >:(

But I get 20Mbit fibre broadband, few extra quid chucks the HD pack and recording TV box in as well. Things like broadband and talk stuff are big winner for Sky so far...

But Sky's freebie broadband - if you are lucky enough to live in an ex-Easynet LLU area - is pretty dire. Slow, capped, and throttled.

Never had any issues myself, xbox, torrents at 1 Mb/sec while shooting people in COD4. Good enough for me

Simple, unencumbered logic - with which I'm only too happy to agree. :y

TBH, nothing more than I already have so a discount on my current subscription would be nice ::) Some of us already have the package we want and have done for quite a while ::)

I have requested several times that Mrs Albs rings up and canels our subscription.Every time she rings them we end up with some new feature,such as multi room,which costs even more money.Im going to have to do the job myself one of these days. ;D

I doubt that will ever happen by being instigated their end. They are a business, and want to extract more from each customer.

You get your wish, phone them and ask to cancel the subscription. But you have to be prepared to go through with it if they are not offering anything suitable...

That's what we normally do but every time we go to do it there's something good coming up on the channels we plan to elbow ::)

Stupid thing is, I reckon we probably only watch a few hours TV per week (unless we see a film we want to watch), the rest of the time it's just on in the background ::)

If i was forced to re-think, I would probably go with a BT Infinity link, + FreeSat with LoveFilm/NetFlix for on demand movies, they are doing HD stuff now.

For £6 month its a bargin!

Not sure if the advert I saw on a film I recorded was recent or not, but I think sky sports is all free this weekend (maybe to encourage sales for the olympics)  does that mean you get a discount maria :y
