    "I will admit that ordering 3 TVs, 1 soundbar, and 2 cabinets, that were either cancelled or returned, doesnt look good."


    One concurs.

    I was looking at Disney+ earlier.
    I thought this looks sh1t, but that was before I realised that they had restricted me to nothing rated over 14.
    I obviously rectified this, and found the new Justified series, and The Banshees of Inisherin, that will do for a minute.

    TV fans can get Disney+ for £1.99 a month with limited-time deal



    With the new deal, TV lovers can sign up to Disney+ Standard with Ads plan to lock in the £1.99 a month price for three months. But you will have to act fast to snap up this offer before it ends on Thursday, March 14.

    The £1.99 deal is available for new and returning customers, letting them stream the hottest new films and shows in up to full HD 1080p. After the three-month promotional period, Disney+ Standard with Ads auto-renews at the then-current monthly retail price – currently £4.99 a month – but at this point members are free to cancel.

    Sky are so slippery.
    When I phoned them on 25th January, they claimed my prices had increased due to the fact that I was out of contract.
    I did a new 18 month contract.
    The cost was £46 per month.
    It was too late to effect the February bill.
    I therefore got my first £46 bill in March.
    My bill for April is £53.
    So the price I thought I had agreed for 18 months lasted for one.

    I am not really moaning about paying an extra £7 per month.
    There is no choice, I am going to have to pay it.
    £7 is not the end of the world.
    I just dont like the way they do business.
    I am sure that there was a time when a contract meant something.
    I cant believe that they werent aware of the April price increases at the end of January.
    Yet they werent mentioned.

    They are not mentioning them for a good reason.

    They are 1 of those special companies that have managed to write in a "CPI + 3.9%" annual rise clause. Lots of them about. Led by BT.

    I have no idea how even this spineless Government managed to allow these contracts to spring up. With not just an inflation clause-one with built-in extra profits. For absolutely no reason whatsoever. Other than greed.

    But they are going to be banned soon. Probably not retrospectively, regrettably.

    I just think they should be more inclined to be doing business honestly.
    If they had quoted me £53 in January, I would have still signed the contact, been much happier today, and not feel like I had been misled.

    Agreed.

    Trouble is-pretty much the entire sector appears to be operating this way.

    If I didnt already have 6 months free with my telly, I would definitely take this up.
    There is plenty of stuff on there that warrants spending £6 for 3 months.
    The offer runs out next week.

    I looked back at the previous page on this thread, and noted that the deal I did was for £50 per month.
    So its only really gone up £3.
    I should apologise to Sky for my comments.
    I wont though.
    They are still slippery.
