Re: Sky retentions

Well Sky don't seem to have increased many off their prices much in recent years unlike Virgin Media who increased my bill more than £10 over 18 months and Virgin give out discount and offers like their going out of fashion.

So maybe Sky is trying to keep pricing fair for everyone and not keep disappointing those with price increases (not taking into account Line Rental)

You keep mentioning "Fuel" but after looking at Broadbandchoices and the reviews on there, I have decided to ignore them.

I'm about two weeks away from the end of my discounted Fibre and phone deal with Sky. Cant see me staying as there are better deals elsewhere especially where paying up front for the phone line is a big saving which Sky does not do along with cheaper fibre deal. Is it worth waiting until the end of my contract what are the problems if I Jump now
Regards

With 2 weeks to go you can start the ball rolling to move. Not really "end of contract" just an end of discounted period. The contract continues at a different rate. There may be a notification period to your contract.

My Sky T&Cs booklet states 12 month contract so from that I'm assuming my discounted period and contract will end in two weeks time and if I don't move I will be paying double for fibre on a month rolling contract. Hence me looking elsewhere. My thinking is that If I sign up now with another provider there will be less of an overlap. Will I need a Mac coded from Sky as I intend to give them a call and see what they have to say

Don't think you need MAC as you'll be Full LLU (phone and BB). Others will deny or confirm.

Simultaneous provide is required for no loss of either.

Correct, no requirement to contact Sky for a MAC or to give notice.

If you ring up, you can get this. I paid £140.40 up front which works out at £11.70 per month with free weekend calls.

When did you manage to get this? Sky withdrew their upfront line rental ages ago.

Fuel broadband is just a glossy cover over primus saver far as I know.
