TaylorJ_01 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 It's daft, to be honest. Complain about Sky, pay for Sky. You're no better than the scabs at St James's. SCAB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest antz1uk Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I got a letter from Sky this week which started with the line: "Good news! The price of your subscription is not going up!" Made me really angry. They treat it like f***ing train fares, the yearly hike of which is now effectively a meekly accepted tax people have to accept to get on with their lives. Got the same letter, takes the p*ss. Whole letter reads like you should be grateful to hand over £45-100 a month to them each month. I pay around 45 and there's no way I can make it any lower unless I switch internet provider perhaps. Considering I get no sports or films or HD I think that's a rip. if you'e outside of your original 12 months cotnract, call them and tell them you're leaving to join Virgin or BT (take a look at their packages frst to get au fair with them. I've just done this and managed to get 60% off my subscription and free broadband for the year originally it was going to be 16.40 line rental 3.75 bband 36.00 family package with box sets & HD channnels I've gottten it down to £16.40 line rental FREE bband £13.30 rising to £14.40 in June for tv package Play them off against the others and telll them you're leaving as it's no longer value for money, compare bband/phone TV with all other companies online Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 There's no real alternative if you want to watch sports. They've got PL, La Liga, F1, a couple Grand Slams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The basic package, means I can get Sky Atlantic and all that decent stuff. As for the sports, I tend to steal them from the internet.

Guest antz1uk Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 i've got netflix, it's ok for some stuff but it's not replacing the stuff as fast as i'm watching it, for what is essentially 2 packets of cigs a month i don't mind paying that little bit for the quality of the Sky product, i tried going down that route of buying a box and having the sly box through the net from the man in the pub, unfortunatelty though 1, the EPG is an absolute ballache, 2, picture always freezing, 3, no sky plu,s 4, constantly having to update and had no HD with it for over a year.

sixx Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Maybe I should have a bi-monthly post in this thread about the life and times of Icelandic footballers. Here is an Icelandic defender playing in Sweden headbutting the goal post in sheer frustration after conceding a goal. And here is arguably the best beard in professional football donned by an Icelandic player who also plays in Sweden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
