When I was on the phone last week to try and push for a deal which included adding sports back on to my package, they claimed that the regular team couldn't do anything about the costs for Sky Q. They gave me an £85 credit note and 20% off my subs for a year, so I'll actually be -£25 for my installation costs.
aye, 12 months
Is that for 1 box and 1 mini?
Yeah it's a two box set up. They knock off £12 from your subs and then add it back on for multi room, but they were clear there would be no increase on my £70pm when I upgrade to SKY Q
I was offered £159 for 3 boxes.
They claim the boxes are free as they are owned by Sky and the costs are for the engineer, so get on that blower and push for £60
They deduct some of your subs by £12 but then add it back on as multi room making the cost the same. They've renamed their packages anarl just to confuse matters further. Apparently. Now have the 'box set' package plus sports, which was news to me.
Honestly man
fair enough I got bits and bytes wrong, can we now establish whether you are taking the piss or you genuinely have a broom up your arse?You're not wrong but having realised the error I corrected it, I can see the confusion it has caused. "Run a speedtest then download a 100mb file and report your findings, I suspect speedtest will tell you that your line is 30Mbps whilst as you say you can download files at 3MB/s"
Yeah I said ^ 20% off total subs, so I've got entertainment, including Discovery etc, Sports and Sky Q Silver plus a second box for -£25 (£85 credit note and £60 upfront costs) and subs of £70pm tied into 12 month contract.
So would a 30mb line usually marra.
Streaming services like Amazon tend to target that as the ideal minimum, others say as low as 6mbps such as Sky catchup
Yep. For two HD pirate streams at once etc you really need about 10mb/s. Add on gaming etc in a busy household and you're looking at maybe twice that. 100mb, as nice as it may be, is over kill for nearly everything currently.
