Sky bill £114!!!

[Bellyblueboy]

I am reviewing my monthly outgoing and my sky bill is out of control!

£114 per month for broadband and a TV entertainment package.

i rang to see if they can reduce it - the best offer they could give me is £101 including a glass TV. I said I don’t want a glass TV and I got an incoherent answer about the TV making it cheaper!

I am considering switching to Virgin - but I think there must be something I am missing - the equivalent bundle seems to be £52 (albeit with a few less TV channels).

anyone made the switch? I can’t believe I pay so much to Sky plus apple tv and Netflix ontop😩

at a guess they use the higher paying customers to then have the lower prices for new customers and then rinse and repeat

Same then you connect to wifi for all the apps
The only thing we dont have is that many sports channels but they werent that good anyway , no.live PL for example snd random matches
Just not worth it

Most likely is you joined more recently than her, started on a cheaper package and yours had been rising with inflation.

My suspicion is that OP joined on Sky+ before moving to Sky Q at some point, but waiting for OP to return to confirm.

There seems to be a definite jump now with the legacy Sky Signature package on Sky+ / Sky Q and that they're trying to encourage people away from satellite systems to streaming.

This has been the advice from every single bloody technical support member I've spoken to (despite me explaining numerous times why we can't) which feels more like sales to me.

It will be interesting to see what you get offered if you play the retentions game, but I don't think it will be anywhere near what you're currently on. For your sake, I hope I'm wrong.

We have Sky Q because we like the convenience and the planner thing. I probably wouldn’t bother wth Sky stream box and would just use the Apple TV instead when Q goes, it is more expensive but we don’t pay what OP pays.

I could have written this! Just want the sports!

We pay £85 with sky, that includes the sky glass to, 2 mini boxes, cinema, sports etc
they only knocked it down when I said I was leaving to go with virgin
we do have virgin WiFi though as Sky’s is shit

NowTV is owned by Sky and is their version of Netflix. If you just want the sports and nothing else, it's £35 a month. You can cancel online and they'll offer you better prices when you go to cancel. Turn down the first offer and you get a second better offer. If you turn that down, it just cancels.

Now TV is basically the sky TV package, can get add ons for movies and sports

No you don't. You just save it within your account in the app. Most have multiple profiles so you can have a different favourites to your partner and DC.

Plus it gives suggestions in different categories and when the algorithm learns what you like, it suggests different things that are similar.
