I'm sorta terrible at it and have tried 3 times. First one would give me anything, the second one offered picturebox for 3 months and the last one I went too far and nearly got cancelled. Anyone else had better luck and offer any tips

Call up and cancel and get your leaving date 30 days away. Before the date reaches they will call you with a better offer going by experience. If you are worried you can always call up with a week left of contract and say you need to extend the date a few weeks, you may get offered something at that point too.

Not sure what you can actually get free but cheaper deal than what you are currently on is more likely.

Last time I got my bill reduced by £ 15. Are you going through retentions?

Was that for the same price as you was paying before?

More for the same price or the same services for less money are both good options if you can make use of them.

Other than the usual disloyalty bonus, nothing.
