Leaving Sky

BenF3232 — Fri, 24 May 2024 17:28:30 GMT

Been with sky 12+ years and currently pay £95 per month. Rang up today for what it will be when my contract runs out on 19th June. Started at £124 then as a VIP we can offer you £105 said it's more than I'm paying final offer £99.
wife looked into it as a new customer same package but with a better broadband 18 month contract £68.

Please make it make sense...

Most, if not all providers do this now. From recent posts on here it does seem that decent deals are increasingly hard to find. If you choose to leave the same will happen at the end of your discounted deal with whoever you go with. Once you've been away for 18 months you'll be able to rejoin and benefit from new customer discounts.

@BenF3232 if you decidecto switch isps then if they use the Openreach network like Sky do not cancel with Sky leave it to the new provider to do thst or you can end up with no broadband. If the outfit you choose has their own network like Virgin Media that doesn't apply.

Technically your TV and Briadband are 2 contracts.

Be aware that Sky will be wise to this type of action to circumnavigate their T's and C's.
