Me...i just phoning to query my monthly bill.It appears to have gone up by £20.
Sky..Yes sir..your special offers have come to an end.
Me..in that case i wish to cancel my subscription.
Sky..I see you have been with us 15 years..let me put you through to our cancellation department.
Sky2..I am sorry you are thinking of leaving us, let me see what i can do.
Sky2..unfortunately there is nothing we can do for you.The package you have is worth £105 and you are currently paying £79.
Me..ok..no problem..just cancel my order.
Sky2(20 mins later)Right..so after all the discounts i have applied to your account your monthly bill will now be £62 per month and we will send out a sky engineer to fit you a new Hd box for your multi room entirely free of charge.Is there anything else i can do for you?
Me..No thank you
This is just an example of what can be achieved with Sky if you play hardball.
I played hardball but they threw me a googly in return.
I said I wanted to cancel, and sky said, ok then, and went ahead and cancelled. Playing hardball is fine as long as you are prepared to eat humble pie when it goes wrong.

I hate to burst the playing 'hardball' bubble but they will have notes in your account to the effect that you are a soft touch.
so you moved them from 79 to 62?I hate to burst the playing 'hardball' bubble but they will have notes in your account to the effect that you are a soft touch.
£62 for Sports, multiroom(both hd)Excellent broadband, Telephone(all local calls free)is a pretty fair deal i would say(unless your going down the dreambox route).

erm, it's a still, what are you expecting moving pictures? well, the ball about to be bounce does have that look of being in motion, point being I watch perfect streaming every day for free.
