@buffalobill  Most likely as they can give new customer deals for less than your current price you pay to Sky, once the deal ends you would pay a lot more.

 

All companies do this to attract new customers.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

how can they do that 

By choosing to slash their profit margin or even make a loss over the initial minimum term in order to gain a customer who may then stay on.
