Fast forward 20 years, it never occurred to me to consider sky again. With all the streaming alternatives out there, sky's $100+ monthly fee is not worth considering for me.
However, due to weaker NZ dollars, some of the steaming services cost spike up, e.g. NBA league pass, used to cost $30 nzd a month, now cost $42 a month, that's more than what I'm prepared to pay.
So I thought I'll check what alternative is available, and by accident I found this sky deal at 0800 475 988, some kind of Sky promotion telemarketing offering, for $49.22 I get:
Sky Basic
Sky Sport
Sky Movie
mySky +
no joining fee
Price is locked with 12 month, I can choose to leave after 6 month with 28 days notice.
I am absolutely shocked Sky have this kind of deal quietly hidden under the radar. I told a few friends of mine and 1 friend signed up instantly, all others is seriously considering.
If you ask me 1 week ago if I'm interested to sign up sky, I'll say not in my lifetime. But I think this bundle price is game changer. Although it's probably not a long term proposition, maybe this is a un-sustainable pricing plan just to attract new customers to give sky a try. But whatever it is, I'm pleasantly surprised and I can't wait for NBA season to start at October :)
Go Steve Adams!
