Same. When I wanted to add Sky Premiums back in May, I ended up re-signing with a new bundle.

So I presume that bundle offer stands....

Re: More price rises
 

Perhaps Ben or SP can give us confirmation of that.

Re: More price rises
 

That sky deal someone quoted isnt the full package looking into it its for the boxsets bundle and only 59 channels. And does not say which set top box and install costs and activation costs.

Re: More price rises
 

Google 'sky 50 off' and you get the 50% off deals for vm customers wanting to switch.

Nice one Grim. Seems like the deal to quote in the inevitable, depressing and regular call to 'retentions'.

the timing just before Xmas is particularly bad. Second increase inflation busting increase this year. Hopefully it will shake some customer out of their apathy.

Re: More price rises
 

The boxsets bundle is the top entertainment bundle that Sky offer. it has all the channels in it PLUS the ondemand boxsets PLUS 50 channels in HD. I dunno where you got 59 channels from.

Also, you can add either Movies or Sport or Both.... for a total of 20 or 25 or 29 a month. Installation costs are 10 like all new sky installs are these days.

So quite a good deal I think. obviously if you want to add broadband/phone it will cost more.

I'm still waiting for my letter from virgin, but my loyalty discounts end soon too ....

can we look forward to another increase in february too?

Re: More price rises

Re: More price rises
 

Yep, thats the deal I posted on the previous page. valid till 2nd september or all 35,000 codes are gone

Trying to workout best place to get broadband from, 'cos virgin aren't going to be cheap for just broadband are they? tried ringing them but gave up after 10 mins in a queue

Re: More price rises
 

Why not? You have every right to whether you renewed your contract 3 months ago or 3 days ago. The contract you agreed was between you and Virgin and now Virgin has changed that.

Re: More price rises
 

Sorry about that as dont understand skys page as looking at boxset pack it stated 50 channels and looked at the list


Which sky box do you get? and storage? Been with virgin ever since yorkshire cable well over 20 years. And seems to be getting too much discounts so called given for 12 months but 3 months in a price rise which cancels the discount. You haggle again then another few months same again.

Re: More price rises
 

It says

You get a Sky+HD 500Gb box. £10 setup. 12m min term.

Re: More price rises
 

sky deal very tempting but cant get sky / BT fiber only get 1.75 meg max here so have to keep v broadband but on its own its £32 for 200meg and soon to be £19 for phone line its just not worth the change then the price of sky on top £36 for sports and movies in HD

Re: More price rises
 

Must be blind thanks for the full info

Re: More price rises
 

I gave virgin retentions a ring and didn't really get anywhere with my package as their hands were pretty much tied in what discounts could be offered. I sent over the email from sky for 60% off and they couldn't match it :(

I just signed up to Sky for Sky Q 2TB boxset package, Sky Q mini box, Sky Cinema, Sky Sports, Sky Fibre Unlimited and 12 month contract - £68 a month - 10 quid setup

I was told that this price increase is next years brought forward... but is it

You can select sky Q box too :)

Re: More price rises
 

They have all been discounting prices and at some point you cannot make money as a result. So you grit your teeth as a company and let the customer threats of leaving become reality as your are losing money anyway.
