2) The fittings are Sky Q dedicated so you can't just buy a Freesat box and swap it for a Sky Q box.

I'm not so sure. Had this offer from SKY today to keep my 50% off deal going for another 5 years.

Oh yes!  I don't even have to do anything. It's already been applied to my account automatically. I'm free to walk away anytime I like over the next 60 months.

Well only a company who knows they are going to keep making money continuously in the future would do this as for 99% of companies this would be utter financial suicide if they adopted this same strategy.

Re: More price rises
I wonder if that 50% off negates the fact that they'll still do yearly price rises?

When SKY announced their price increases earlier this I did receive a letter confirming price increses but my letter said my package was going up by £0.00. My monthly cost didn't budge. Not sure if this will be the same over the next 5 years.

SKY+HD. I'm certain if I upgrade to SKY Q my deal will come to an end. Happy enough with SKY+HD. Don't have a 4k TV yet.

Ahh, wonder if the five year deal maybe for Sky+HD customers? I know the discounted packages now carry over to Sky Q as far as I am aware, mine did when I upgraded recently.
Enjoy the great offer anyway mate!

Re: More price rises
So I've come home today to find a letter enticing me back to virgin media saying I can have some nice discounts.
Out of curiosity I get it priced up
Full House TV
Talk more anytime
200Mb
Sky movies
£63 a month.
Which is roughly what I was paying before my offer ended and Went to over £100 and all I was offered was same without movies for £84. I despair.

Re: More price rises
Hello folks! ... just adding my new deal to the list!
Phone line + Talk Weekends ... line saver due end of the year.
TV M (that comes free with the phone) ... 500G box
Vivid 100MB Broadband
Basic stuff, just £10 less that it was, now £24.99 (loyalty discount of £5 for 18 months!) ... so I'm happy with that!

Mines due in March sometime. Do VM let you know when it's due, or do they just start charging you line rental again?

I usually mark it up on my calendar, just to make sure. In previous years I did receive an email reminder.
