why am i not eligible for the same deals as a new customer?

I have been with SKY for over 20yrs, but I just checked and new customers are saving over £30 on better packages, and I still have a sky+ box? why can I not access these delas in my online account?

@MDUFFY1998 Because you would have already benefited from new customer pricing 20 years ago , customers only get one new customer offer per tenure

so I have to keep paying over the odds forever, this is not very fair is it, guess I will just cancel now then and just use my streaming services instead.

This is not a new thing, existing customers most likely complained when you got your new customer bonus 20 years ago

@MDUFFY1998 

You could cancel and go with an alternative provider but the same will apply in 18 or 24 months when your new customer discounts finish.

@MDUFFY1998 so was it fair when you signed up and got a new customer deal and others who were already customers couldn't get the same deal as you got. 

I know when I signed up back in 2003 I got the first 3 months subscription for £0.01 per month

At worst you'll be paying no more than the advertised list price. Not over the odds.
