I will be keeping my phone and BB though. :)

Can you let me have a copy if that letter as I have a friend who wants to pay for Sky + on a monthly plan? :)

Snippet from the email I received:

Thank you for your email concerning the Sky+ box monthly payment plan.

I am happy to confirm that Sky+ is available on a monthly payment plan, to find out more information on this and Sky+ please call 08702 427 878 and one of our Sky+ advisors will be happy to assist you.

Should you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to email me at the above address.

This is the original email I sent:

Good Morning,

I'm enquiring about the cost of Sky+ equipment. Do you have to pay the ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£199 in one go? Or can you spread the cost of the equipment by adding the cost to your monthly subscription. As ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£199 in one go is rather a lot of money.

I'll let you know how things progress over the next day, all I can say though for the moment is thank God the cricket's on Channel 4 tomorrow! :p:

Well, no call from an engineer all day so phoned Sky at about 21:45 - Got through to nice Scottish lass who informs me that not all engineers get their work sheets for the next day until the morning... so I should wait until 9:30am to receive a call - if I don't get one by then I should phone Sky back.

I can appreciate the fact that they may not get their job sheets till the morning but it's a bit inconvenient for people if you're expecting a call the day before and you want to be in to take it (in case they're reluctant to leave a message on the answerphone) and then they don't call, but then you're at home most of the next day waiting for the guy to turn up!

:erm: NTL turned up on my door yesterday with a job sheet to replace my set top box with the new ones (ready for 1.5MB)!

I informed the NTL guy that I got rid of my NTL TV the other week and all I have now is a SACM! He seemed confused as to why he's been told to replace my STB!!! hmmm! :confused: :(

I didn't know NTL were coming, if I had I would have saved them the petrol... seems odd that they simply expect me to be in...during the day! Luckily I was ;)

typical!
