I am sick and tired of Sky putting their costs up and publicising offers that are available to 'new customers only' they're obviously not really bothered about looking after the one's they've already got.
What really hacks me off is there doesn't appear to be any real alternative meaning Sky can charge whatever they like and get away with it.
I've been with Sky for around 12 years and this time my subscription has just shot up from £33.00 to £61.00 a month due to an offer ending that they gave me last year because I said I would cancel.
This appears to be the normal procedure for getting discount: Phone them, ask for a better deal, get nowhere, ask for cancellations, get a better deal.
I'm fed up with it. If they valued their customers they would offer the best deal without the customer having to resort to threats of cancellation.
I rang them this afternoon and have had to knock Movies & Sports on the head to reduce the cost because I'm not prepared to pay £732.00 a year on top of the TV Licence.
To be honest I never watch sport except Moto GP which is on BT Sports and I get it free anyway.
According to my planner we mainly watch the normal Free to view channels, Sky 1 & Atlantic.
If it wasn't for my kids watching quite a few of the kids channels, most of which are not available free I'd cancel the whole lot.
I've spent a few hours today trying to make sense of BT's offering and gave up. Virgin Media is poor in my area apparently and I'm not going with Talk Talk…..so what to do?
Is there any other viable alternative out there or am I forever to remain in the clutches of Sky?
