So I called the customer services number and spoke to a nice lady in Mumbai who put me through to the sales department. They told me in no uncertain terms that there would be no DEALS and that if I cancelled I would have to wait 5 years before I could re-subscribe as a new customer (my fecking ****).

I told himI had been looking on the website and a new customer gets it for £89 equipment cost AND free installation, immediately and without hesitation he told me "Oh if you've seen it on the web site we will match that" Took me by surprise to be honest after all his tough talk at the beginning.

I have ended up with Multi-room, Sky+ and only pay an extra £10 per month and £89 equipment cost. Bargain.

Any ideas on how to tell the wife?
