They days of 50% off and 75% off retention deals appear to be over.
If that's the case my package, once I've tinkered a little, will cost me £10.00 more. Not the end of the world. It's not worth me cancelling. They have played a shrewd game. My wife and I have our mobiles with Sky. Calls and text are "free" as long as you are a TV subscriber. Cancel your TV and your mobile bill goes up by £10 to cover the cost of the calls and texts. I'm £10 worse off if I stay, £20 worse off if I leave.
It was good while it lasted.
