Sky

I tried that last year, they never fell for it.

It helps if you're a girl and act a bit dumb, when blokes ring up they already assume you've been on AVForums asking how to get Sky+ on the cheap which is exactly what I did but... I got the wife to ring up.

One thing I’ve learnt dealing with TV cable/satellite firms, internet providers, telephone companies, electricity companies, gas suppliers etc is that once something works, DON’T try to change it. All those companies are so bloody inefficient and poorly run with all their fancy ‘business processes’ and ‘CRM systems’ that they are bound to screw it up and leave you with no TV, internet, phone, electricity or whatever else you thought you could get for a better price.

Let's see how CM gets on then..

Basically you phone them and tell them you want to cancel.

They will put you through to a dept that wants to know why.

You tell them about it being cheaper to start again under a new deal.

They will put you on the new deal.

1) Ask Virgin about thier best deal (as a new customer)
2) Phone Sky again....... Ask to be put through to Contract cancellations.....

If they don't offer a deal you are happy with (ie better than the Virgin Deal)..... cancel and goto Virgin+

my dad did exactly this 2 months ago, it all worked perfectly

She'll be a shoo in.

They'll probably give her her own channel

To add to what Chef said,

If it doesn't work then go ahead and cancel - you have 30 days to change your mind before they cut you off (their notice period) and within 5 day's they'll be calling you to change your mind
