no balls Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It's a way of watching sport for free. I'd have thunk you'd be all over it I refer my learned friend to the hypocrisy that's floating around the cash machine thread then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny G Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 These dodgy boxes, are they not just theft? Fine line between theft and getting something without paying for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites man Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Fine line between theft and getting something without paying for it. It's not a fine line but a case of where you draw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compo Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Been with sky for about 15 years and never paid for a call out, if you're out of contract tell em you're leaving and they do it for fuck all. Briefly left sky a few years ago for virgin when I fancied the tivo boxes. Quoted X amount for the package but then found out they wanted more for hd sports as it's not (or wasn't) included in the hd package etc etc. Once I had what I wanted instead of what I thought I was getting it was something like £20 a month more than they quoted. Fuck off. Cancelled it within a week and told them to collect the boxes, was supposed to be a free 28 day trial or whatever. Kept getting bills for thirty odd quid, called them and they accepted it was a mistake and cancelled the bill. Few months later I started to receive bailiffs letters for non payment. Took me weeks to sort it out without so much as an apology. Virgin are complete and utter cockwombles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonk Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 see, for me that is 'sky' well, not the movies no sport and i wouldnt have it The sports bits i want to watch are all available elsewhere in as near to hd as makes no difference with no buffering on my mahoosive broadband package. And I couldn't give a flying fuck about the Belgian league, netball or golf except the majors so why pay the thick end of 40 quid a month for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways get my broadband from Virgin(could cancel my landline with them and found their broadband better) but the TV from Sky. Thinking about jacking it off but normal TV is so shit and streaming suff is hit and miss, basically got it for Sky Atlantic and Sports.Horwich is right tho ring Sky or BT Sport up say you are quitting and chances are get a better deal. did it with BT Sports yesterday, I only have that for College Football so was cancelling after they gave me a free month while i mulled it over, anyway said I could have it half price if I signed up for 12 months, thinking bout it especially as if I cancel and then want it back in September they charge £30 or so re connection the cunts.

mickbrown Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 They are offering Virgin customers half price on any bundle for 12 month. I'm ringing them and asking them for that or I'm doing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big City Girl Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) I'm with Virgin and I've had no phone working for the last week, an Engineer is coming out tonight. They've also just put my monthly bill up by £4 without any gain in service and as I too have had the junk mail showing half price, they'll be getting a call from me later, asking for more. I have to say though, the Broadband is fantastic. Edited March 18, 2015 by Big City Girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L/H White Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) a poster off here got me a 50% off code for 12 month which is due to expire in june it's rather an F5 box or a blag call from them to leave me on the code for another 12 month sky wankers Edited March 18, 2015 by Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C86 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Ditch the phone anyway. Why have one. Two reasons, I can call 0870 and 0845 for free within my plan (at weekend) and when I'm away I can use the Virgin SmartCall to call the UK for free, within my plan. I know you can use Skype etc. If its the same price with and without the phone then its worth keeping. Just remembered its free at anytime to call a virgin mobile phone which the lad and FPO have. Don't me wrong I'd just have the BB if they'd drop the price by £15 a month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted March 19, 2015 Site Supporter Share Posted March 19, 2015 sky have just announced yet another increase on their sports and entertainment bundles - £1 on sports and £3 on the entertainment. As I don't watch much sport and the majority of what we do watch would be on freeview anyway, I think this will be the increase which means toodlepip to sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big E Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I dont know why more people dont do this Whenever I ring they know I get very little discount. Proper shit. Hoping bt improves soon so I can bargain it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Horwich Posted March 19, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 19, 2015 Just play along with it and give them 30 days notice..they will phone you back within that 30 days and offer you the deal you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
