I want to take a break - what will happen?

[Dorset+Sky]

Long time SkyQ user with multi room and Sky Sports. 3rd party fibre broadband at 150Mbps. Am out of contract, know I am paying too much (£95). Can't face the phone call to haggle. 

Am going away for a couple of months (holiday, not prison!) so am considering just cancelling the whole lot, saving nearly 200 quid and starting again on return. 

So what will happen? 

I might get a decent offer during the 31 day cancellation period?

My dish, main box and mini box remain in my home, service disabled the day I leave if I time it right?

On my return I will be considered a returning, rather than new, customer (and hence no fab deals)?

I could try Sky Stream for a month on return, and return to Q if I (or the missus) doesn't like it?

I will get the chance to haggle a price when I re-sign? 

If I really hate it I could look at Now TV or other options?

Have I got that right, or does anybody have any suggestions as to how i could maximise this opportunity?

Much appreciated

Hi @Dorset+Sky 

Not straightforward unfortunately.

If you cancel all Q equipment has to returned to Sky (not the satellite Dish though).

You wouldn't be able to sign up again as a new Q customer until 18 months has passed I believe.

Probably best to speak directly to Sky to discuss your options.

Hi @Dorset+Sky   If you do cancel and send back the boxes etc., hang on to the viewing card, as Sky will assume that you still have it if you return.

@Dorset+Sky  if you do cancel and return the equipment make sure you obtain and keep very safe and indefinitely proof of postage
