You wouldn't get that sort of offer if you already had a non-Thomson HD box.
I'm sure Sky would be aiming to get all the SD Sky+ boxes, and indeed the old SD non-PVR boxes which many people must still be using, out of the system.
Having said that, being offered the premium 2TB HD box for as little as £15 does sound almost too good to be true!
Could also be the start of some very tempting offers from Sky this year to pre-empt BT's likely ad campaign later this year for BT Sports and Vision bundles.
Tying more subscribers into a new 12 month contract (as I suspect they will) would be a handy way for Sky to resist the BT onslaught! If I get an offer cheaply to replace my old low capacity Pace box, I will report back.
Yes, It costs sky licencing fees to do any updating of the old open TV platform.
Also it makes it much harder to adjust the box side of the encryption as that would mean updating the software. Besides those boxes are insecure so it wouldn't take long to emulate whatever new mode of encyption used with in the box in card sharing.
Sky don't want to pay licencing fees or allow card sharing so it makes perfect sense to keep giving these offers, to get the whole subscriber base on newer secure boxes. This would be the first stage.
Ask for it in writing first, else you might just end up with a standard box
I would say , if its a great offer ( which £15 for a 2TB box is ) take up the offer,usually once they put the phone down,you will not get in touch with them again and the offer will be missed
What do you mean by a standard box ?
I personally recently got a 2TB box for £49 with FREE install and I thought that was a cracking deal .
2TB box £49
Free delivery
Self install
Hd pack 1st 6mths £5
2nd. ". £10.25
I'm well pleased with this,it was on Sky website,online chat assistant did'nt know about £49,free delivery or 6mths £5,you would think Sky would inform them.
That's exactly what my gf got yesterday !
All they keep offering me is free boardband, which as I keep telling them is pointless as I get it free through work. They keep saying they will come back with another offer to reward my 'loyalty'.
Věry good delivery time,ot said on conformation email 3-5 days delivery.
Don't understand this, you don't even need to be a Sky TV customer to get their unlimited broadband, so why does it matter what package you are on?
You do realise that its 30 days notice to downgrade your package? So no changes will take place until that's complete.
Yes, i know that, was just using the fact that you could subscribe without TV as a reference, because the OP said they wanted to drop the the lowest PACKAGE (which in my mind is still poaying for TV), but couldn't, as they liked the broadband.
So even on the lowest package, the broadband would cost no more,
Also, it only costs an additional £2.50 if you don't subscribe to TV, so considerably cheaper than paying £21.50 just to keep the cheaper broadband.
