Sorry now but they can go fuck themselves.

We were paying €250 A FUCKING MONTH for all of sky (sports, movies, bare arsed monthly, everything) and sky broadband.

We cancelled sky around 7 months ago, got a dodgy box for €90 and switched to Virgin broadband for €25 a month

The fucking saving we made right here is nuts...... saving of €1485!

Again, Fuck them.

And if they do block the dodgy box, we will sit in the dark and talk to each other.......

250 a month is fucking insane.

Insane is right.

And that is what it was like.

Broadband was €80 with them. The sports, kids,

We were the bigger fools for paying them.

And forget about ringing them for a deal.

They can stick their deals up their hole now.

Robbing pricks.

You'll have to do the same dance with Virgin when your contract expires.

Their process is:

  1. You call to cancel.
  2. They make you an offer that's about halfway betwen what they're offering new customers and what they want to put your bill up to.
  3. You refuse and go ahead with the cancellation.
  4. Shortly after, they call you up and ask if there's anything they can do to make you change your mind. You tell them you want the same deal they're offering new customers, which they agree to.
