Following the thread the other day, I rang Sky and said I was going to cancel.
I got the box for £49, installation for £20 and £5 per month for 6 months. I also got Multiroom installation for free.
Would be cool if they drop the £10 before I come off my discount rate.

Well, I too have just got sh1tty with Sky. Actually had an upgrade path as a result of introducing a friend. £75....
Told them I wasn't overly chuffed about being told one thing and then seeing this thread (I've told them to look here too!) and that I wanted to leave as I'd lost faith in the company's communication!
They offered me the box for £49 + £20 install. No change in monthly price though, nor free multiroom.
Asked them again about the subscription change - he couldn't comment but it seemed like a fair chance due to the history of subscription reductions!! lol!!
I did say that why does it have to come to my nearly cancelling (and in all seriousness, I was going to do so) to get the better deal
Couldn't really answer that.
Still, all sorted now.

I watched Star Wars: The Clones Wars on Sky Anytime in HD today and the picture quality was amazing compared to the same SD broadcast. Whatever deal you can get, it'll be worth it!

I've been a customer for years- and an early adopter; sky digital, sky plus, sky HD- all on pretty much the first day they came out. We have the full package on two boxes. Think I'm paying about £65 a month.
I rang a couple of weeks ago to cancel, and was basically told 'ok'.
Not quite what I expected...

I actually work for Sky as a Retail Agent and was briefed 2weeks ago on the whole HD plan. I can defo tell you they do not have any intention of dropping the £10 but are planning on giving the customer a hell of alot more for that £10 extra.
PS. My Sky+HD is coming today. I cannot wait till Battlestar Galactica starts back in January!

They have the best HD package out so once they have have you signed up, they know their competitors can't touch it.
Still if the dropping of the £10 happens, I will get that 2nd box.

I wonder what it costs them to obtain each new customer- advertising revenue etc. I once read that Orange quoted their spend per each new customer was £800 or something bizarre.
I'm surprised at how easily Sky let people leave- unless they're just wise to us 'threatening' and know the closest alternative is some way behind.
