So over New Year had a couple of PM's can't remember who, also been asked in a few threads :-[
New customers I can get you 50% discount for 12 months, if you already have Sky but no broadband, I can get you Unlimited broadband free for 9 months :y
-
Can you get me free SKY for 12 months for being a loyal customer :P :D ;)
-
Sorry no, do feel for current customers. Every time this offer is posted internally, we always, always ask what about discounts for current customers. Free movies? Free HD? 2TB box upgrade or similar, but we struggle to get anywhere :(
-
Thats ok mate , i dont expect it free but would be nice for a freebie now and then for loyalty ... no other companies do it that i know of so dont expect sky to start :y

Do you have Sky broadband?

My half price multi room (2) and HD offers have just ended. Bit of a hike in my bill, nearly £100 a month now.

Suspect for your needs about same, although Sky's would be free for 9 months.
If your locked in and happy with what you get, no reason to change :y

We are paying peanuts for talk talk tunnie at the minute and never had any issues but will shop around once its time to . Talk talk want to charge us for the new TV box as an existing customer >:( although looking into it , it seems it will be a whole lot dearer than sky because you have to add on a lot of packages to get what we currently get from sky ::) Wont bother with that from talk talk , seems a bit of a con :-\

snap!! got no idea,questioned and answers are er we dont know!!

It is to do with the satellite degradation. They don't last forever and the current one is going down the pan faster than expected.
So the transmission is migrated to a different satellite with a narrower beam that is much less likely to splash over southern europe.
Sky doesn't have a licencve to broadcast outside the UK so technically anyone receiving is breaking the law. You would have thought they ought to have a licence to get more custmers and thus more revenue. I bet someone at Sky has already done the maths.
One ray of hope is that the Sky channels themselves (i.e. not BBC, ITV and CH4) might continue to be receivable.
Who knows, we may all have to read books or have BBQs!

You could just all move back to blighty :P ;)
Tunnie, is it 12 months that you have to have been 'away' from Sky before you count as a new customer again?

Errr they changed the packs so just went to double check:
Basic Pack is £21.50/m
HD = £10.25/m
Sports Pack = £21/m
Entrainment Extra (History/Geo) = £5.50/m
= £58.25/m
With my code, be £29.12/m

lol very true!
plus i can ride me raptor anywhere i please as long as its not fenced,
can work when i want, not clock in when someone tells me too,
rush hour?whats that?
horsemeat?ITS LABELLED here,when you buy beef its really beef,
beer is a euro a bottle,and you pay at the end of the session, tapa,s (snacks)are free ,after paying the bar bill,the landlord gives you a couple of freebies for the road,
corruption is rife,do it the illegal way after meeting the right people no problem, try to do it legally and its a nighmare with nothing at the end of it except a big bill,
but for all its faults life here is never boring and much better than blighty!!

Thats just the pack, but you can argue a free box out of them. How long have you been a customer?
