Starting up with Sky again
 

My mate wants to get sky + but also wants to take advantage of the new
customers offer of 3 months half price. He currently has Sky at his
house, but if he applies for Sky+ in his missus' name that should allow
them the new joiner deal, is that right?

As far as I am aware, yes.

Although I suspect that your mate could join again as Mr M. Mouse and Sky
wouldn't bat an eyelid so long as they got their money!

They do care as they want their money and the full price of a box.

When he cancels the current contract have him tell them he is moving house.
This will go into the file and then if the second contract does ever get
flagged for review they will assume his wife has thrown him out.

These deals are usually "one per household". I would think they will have
the address and the connected telephone number previously used on record.

He should just be honest, phone and say he'd like to come back and
could he have the special offer.

If they say no, he can say, "Oh; I'll get cable then" or something; see
how fast the customer loyalty team take to throw themselves in front of
his wallet.

Worked for a mate of mine when he moved house; they said that he
couldn't qualify for free dish fitting because he was an existing
customer - one snotty letter to the head of customer service later, new
free box and installation and three months of free sports and films.

At the end of the day, they want your monthly subscriptions.

But not bad enough .

They continue to do stuff they know many viewers dont like and dont want
yet they continue to do it on purpose .

Not enough people will ever leave at the one time to make any
substancial difference and as a result they will never have a reason to
change unless greed gets the better of them and they accept the fact
that some people would rather do without than pay good money for ****e .

IMHO nowt wrong with some of the stuff they show - its the way they
basterdise it that makes for unplesent viewing .
