Scott Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 You will struggle to haggle the sports down as thats a sky service. You can always negotiate on all the other areas though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 You must be more forceful with Virgin(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 You must be more forceful with Virgin(s). H, that is called Rape. I was expecting something difference from the title too... I could just picture the haggling now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-Brett Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Haggling is certainly possible directly with Sky as a sky customer (i.e. with a dish) but this generally comes with the clause of signing a new 12month contract. Thursdays are best, as they have a limited number of deals to give away in 1 week. They don't want to give them all away straight away and Thurs is the end of the week for them so if they have any left they are easier to get. As an existing customer, out of contract, I made 25+ calls to sky to get a free SKY+HD box with free install if i signed a new 12 month contract (the boxes were about £100 at the time). They wouldn't do it, but i new if i persisted that i would get it eventually, and i did. Not sure about sky sports contracts though via virgin, but i bet they are similar.

marc_p Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 H, that is called Rape. I think you will find it's 'struggle cuddle'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I think you will find it's 'struggle cuddle'. Or 'Suprise sex', provided you shout "SUPRISE" first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Or 'Suprise sex', provided you shout "SUPRISE" first. That's where I am going wrong! I keep shouting SUPRISE afterwards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erol_h Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Ok i finally got off my backside and gave virgin a call i was currently paying 50.99 a month there was a 3.50 price increase due in april plus the sky sports package would of cost 22.50 extra giving me a grand total of 78 quid a month. I managed to get a reduced price of 71 quid a month and a free upgrade to the tivo box which is usually 50 quid install fee so not bad.

DJButler Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 You know it's a funny thing but before I met this Virgin I'd never been screwed by one !!. Without a doubt the most dishonest and unfair pricing policy in existence, trouble is they've got no real competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDan24 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I confused a prostitute once....she was rubbish at addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Watching The F1 Show on Sky....very good so far, slick as you'd expect from Sky with great team access. And Georgie 'sigh' another sports channel. another nail in the marriage coffin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
