    £137 for a months telly. WTF. Is there anyone out there that actually pays that? If so, they want their bumps feeling.

    I call them every year to get the price down. As with most things, there's no reward for existing members, all the benefits seemingly go to new customers, but it's only a five/ten minute phone call and doesn't take much doing. I've looked around and can't find anything better, or equal for similar value, especially if you want Sky Sports included.

    I've been using Quidco since 2008 on stuff I'd have bought anyway, just checked I've had £2,719 back in cash. The best ones are RAC/AA just switch between each one each year, had £195 cover for £35. Hardly any companies dont pay, though Sports Direct spring to mind on the one occasion I used them (no surprise really)

    Sky’s current best offer has just ended the other day.

    £100 a month got you Full Sky Q with 2 mini-boxes. All movies, all sports, all on-Demand, UHD, Fibre, line rental, evening and weekend calls and Netflix premium Subscription (which is 4 users all in UHD).

    Good offer that to be fair.

    Begs the question as to why they don’t just reduce their prices across the board.

    I joined Sky from Virgin about three months ago and so far they're the best broadband provider I've been with. So far so good, I just hope it continues.

    Exactly. It's a bit like when I had a business bank account and was paying monthly fees, yet they had another account that was completely free, but they didn't advertise it.

    It's a awful system, I'm with Virgin at the moment and its exactly the same. I reach the end of my deal period and the price goes up about £35 to £40 quid a month. You ring up they say they can knock a tenner or something off. You cancel, they offer to do it even cheaper before they let you cancel.
    Then after you have cancelled (but while you are still in the months notice period) they phone you up.
    At this point i normally say i have been in touch with Sky and tell them they are doing it for the price I was paying before. Amazingly at this point you get offered a amazing deal.
    The whole process is exhausting, of it wasn't for the wife and kids I honestly think I wouldn't have any tv service at all.
    The fact they are willing to pay people to work in call centres and go through all this shows you how many people are paying the "full" price. Subsidising those of us are paying the cheaper price.

    You do realise touting this constantly might get the BBS into trouble, don't you?

    VPNs aren't illegal. Buying a match pass from "overseas" still gives money to the club. What you're touting isn't.

    I've used IPTV myself in the past, just don't think you should be using the forum to advertise your mates' illegal services if i'm honest.
