Title: Sky for £25 a month?
Post by: tunnie on 25 June 2015, 09:22:31
Got an offer internally at the moment, I can get people:

Entertainment Extra+
Sky Sports
Sky Movies
HD Pack
Sky+HD box
Sky Go
OnDemand

All for £25 a month, fixed for 12 months. (Normally £75/m)

As always, new customers only sadly. Or new surname at the address, that has not been registered there for last 12 months.

If interested, drop me a PM  :y

Sadly no, as always we do complain on the internal offers about current customers, but never get much than the odd £10/m off.

Best advise I can give, is ring up and be prepared to cancel to fight for a discount.

Is it available in Readingham :D

Do you mean people with SL postcodes but who live in Reading? Don't think our system copes with that  ;D

[Tunnie mode on] £25 ? :o ....as a special offer? ;D

Sky really are shit on price. ;D ....that's barely a quarter of a tank of fuel in your 3.2 Tunnie. :D
[Tunnie mode off ]

....but as he says, for existing customers, the only way to get a "decent" discount out of sky is to leave.

I pay £72 a month for entertainment plus, sports pack, sky+ HD,unlimited broadband and free weekend calls.

I think that's good value. They've got to make a profit you know. ::)

Sky can be brutal when it comes to culling employees, seen entrie departments gone. One team, I worked with, who sat behind us. Wiped out in one day, due to a restructure.  :o

So CV is always kept up to date  :)

Sky now are like BT was years ago. No one could possibly do telephone lines except us, could they?

The amount of people I know that are getting sky for free is increasing daily....it will start taking a chunk out of profits soon.........

Hence NowTV a fully Internet based TV delivery service, no dish, no contract. Next things like Quad pay, soon get Sky Branded mobiles.

Core customer numbers for TV continue to rise, profits up, just look at our latest Q results.

Course only takes Google to say we want the footie rights, we would be in trouble then. I just need to keep myself prepared, so working on all the new stuff like Chromecast and AndroidTV :)

I'll vouch for that (Sky being brutal).  It'll be interesting to see how they cope with the competition.  Personally I won't buy from Sky whatever the price, and please don't get me wrong, I've met some good people at Sky.

I count myself very fortunate  :y

I think Sky will have to sack me to get rid of me now, been almost 6 years now.

Not sure why, given the investment. But are streams to Internet based devices are not nealy as good as they should be. Really lagging behind.

The competiton, Netflix at BT are far higher

If not into sports, or movies although there's other services there, there's little point in sky. MotoGP, wsb, uksb and football. F1, Ausy touring cars. Etc etc. mean, gota have sky. Sadly.

Take a look at the four main channels for Friday nights offerings. I think you'll agree that it's mostly (all) shite.

As are most of the Sky channels. I have recently (much to my surprise) taken to watching box set type stuff on Sky. I thought Justified was probably the best thing Ive ever seen. Watched all six seasons about five times.
Ive now started into the West wing, which is well worth watching, and looking forward to Breaking bad, which is reported to be excellent.
I only watch BT sport for the MotoGp. Apparently they are soon going to charge an extra £10 per month (?) for subscribers who watch MotoGP., which will be a real kick in the teeth for those poor unfortunates who actually have to pay for it.  :-X ::)
