Mr Sifter Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Got a nephew looking to get Sky put in. Any new deals on the go @Dean Winchester? Cheers ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Winchester Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 There's one for a package that excludes Sport for £45/month but I think it's actually cheaper to get the same package direct... None of the decent deals at the moment I'm afraid. Will bump when there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called sky my options (after full reset etc) are: get sky q, pay for an engineer (£65) or suffer it. We can't get Q as we are in a four in a block with communal dish. £65 is a *** rip off when you've been with a company for five years. Have to look at alternatives, although virgin not available to us. Skyguy actually asked if I wanted to buy a new box as its five years old and hard drive may be wearing out. Durability of technology these days is pathetic. Things are designed to fail to force upgrades. Going to look at BTTV but there's so much in the way of installation/setup fees etc to make it prohibitively expensive atm.. I had an issue with my 10 year old Sky HD box and phoned them up to cancel saying I was moving to Virgin because I wasn’t wanting to pay the extra for Sky Q. They had an engineer out to me a couple of days later for free and swapped out my old box for a better refurbished one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendoll Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Virgin are bumping my bill up with the option to cancel for free. Pondering Sky but need it in two rooms and would want literally every bolt on possible. Any tips to hey this cheaper as it looks like it would be about 250 quid up front and hundreds per month?

Jamboelite Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 i've found these days that I dont have to phone up and cancel I was given an 18month extension on half price TV package without doing anything meaning I get phone, line rental, broadband and all the HD channels for £65 a month which I think is a decent deal. It generally tells you what you can get when you phone up these days after putting in your details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to get something similar (I hadn't seen your post) but they wouldn't do the Sky Q. Best offer was to continue on Sky HD for 18months at £35 p/m for Entertainment and Sport. I've cancelled (happy to wait and see if i get any offer to come back). Managed to get a discounted offer on BT Ultra HD in the mean time and it's very very good.

Quite surprised to be honest to getter 2tb box and mini for only £40. The monthly sub discount is pretty standard these days in my experience.

The Duke Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Moved to SKY fibre a couple of months ago from BT, unimpressed tbh. WiFi signal seems weaker for one thing. Also SKY have an app which they claim tests your connection and speed, continually gives me a reading of 57mbs even when I was recently standing in the middle of a field some 3 miles from my house! They are totally at it, considering going crawling back to BT for my broadband. Anyone else noticed a big difference moving BT to SKY?

If your router was reset at any point in the first week it may have affected your speed. Try running https://www.speedtest.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unaware of how Sky’s app/Speedtest works but it may be the case that they’ve deployed line testing code into their router. BT Broadband do this with the newer home hubs. When you request a test it contacts a server in BT’s network which initiates a speed test between the Hub and a Datacentre then stores the stats (and then updates the app to show you the result). Could be be the same with Sky’s Hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moved last week and like you I'm getting advised online by SKY my speed is 34mbs (what is was with BT) but when I try other speed tests its at 21mbs. I will wait ten days grace as they say it can fluctuate. I presume I can walk away if they are not providing the speed promised prior to signing up.
