Cancelling Sky
Feb. 16th, 2008 02:29 pmI've been meaning to cancel Sky for a while now. 90% of what I watch is available on Freesat (which only costs £20 if you already have a dish and Sky box). The remaining 10% is stuff I can rent on DVD or stuff that I like to watch with Henry when he's home from university so don't mind if I see it later on terrestrial or DVD.
Finally got around it today. Was talking to the man at Sky who was trying to talk me out of it and sell me Sky phone services and all the rest of it. I was content to let him waffle until I remembered we were on an 0870 number. I said "I'm sorry, but we're on an 0870 number, this call is costing me money. If Sky want us to hang around, they ought to get an 0800 number, please skip to the end."
Blow me! He did exactly what I asked. He immediately said (politely) that he'd put the stuff I needed in the post.
Top marks to a helpful man at Sky. (they may have lost me as a customer at present, but they've also just improved their chances of getting me back in the future if I feel rich again)
