Thanks for this link. I signed in a few minutes ago and paused my Sky Sports subscription no bother.
I'm on a cracking deal for the full works.
Pausing then leads to me eventually losing this deal when I put sports back on and my bill goes up.
I'll continue to pay what I currently do without pausing.
Ah shit I never realised this. I am on a discounted rate at the moment and just paused it
You should still be on the discounted rate, you can see your future bills both on line and via your set box top.Ah shit I never realised this. I am on a discounted rate at the moment and just paused it
I got the missus to phone up the other day. This is what she was told.
I pay under £60 for sky q in three rooms with every channel/hd(thanks to a poster on here).
I didn’t manage to ‘pause’ my BT Sports like Sky have done, however I managed to negotiate a better deal, £24 credit applied to my account, which as I was getting BT Sports free it was the equivalent of 6 months of 4K and HD ‘free’ as my contract meant I was paying £4 for 4K and HD. I argued that the BT box is lying redundant now an ornament in fact as I only watch live football on it and took the full TV package as that was required to get 4K. I did this all via the chat facility and if you persevere you might be able to get an equivalent deal hope that helps anyoneAnyone know how to do this with BT sports?
I hope I can allay you fears with this as I was in the same boat but I did it and now my future bills show that May/Jun Sky sports is free (with all discounts still there) and a ‘Sky sports paused’ discount (full amount of your discounted price) this is the same for Sky sports HD, in Jun/Jul it starts to creep up a little back to pre paused and all your discounts included in the price and by Jul/Aug your back to you original price with your discounts still intact. I think some of the Sky advisors are either ill informed or simply at it.I got the missus to phone up the other day. This is what she was told.

Reluctant to go ahead with it until it’s confirmed.
Cheers mate. Will go ahead and do it.I hope I can allay you fears with this as I was in the same boat but I did it and now my future bills show that May/Jun Sky sports is free (with all discounts still there) and a ‘Sky sports paused’ discount (full amount of your discounted price) this is the same for Sky sports HD, in Jun/Jul it starts to creep up a little back to pre paused and all your discounts included in the price and by Jul/Aug your back to you original price with your discounts still intact.

Sorry he advised what is coming to an end ?Do not pause if you're on a discount as it will cancel it. I have just spoken to tell them that it is a con. He advised that it was coming to an end. I explained that I have had this for over 18mths.
Spent most of the day trying via the link and just getting either ‘we are busy please do not refresh’ or when it did go through to the next stage I just got constant buffering.
Just tried the My Sky App and two clicks later all done.
I did wonder if there was going to be some sort of ‘payback’ for those on a deal, but it looks like the small increase showing around June is just the regular price rise.
many thanks OP for highlighting
If you pause it you can still watch the channels but not pay for them until the live sports start back upthey will be switched off by midnight
My discountSorry he advised what is coming to an end ?
I phoned yesterday to do this and did it through the automated call system but I can still see Skysports and my bills are still the same going forward, anyone else had this?
I paused mine and am currently on a deal. When I look ahead at my future bills my discounts are still applied.
Call them on 0800 1512747, it’s free from a landlineAll I’m getting is a circle going round and round
Same with mine.Me too, but the pause seems to only last 2 months as the next bill is back to same as now.
That’s useless as well.Call them on 0800 1512747, it’s free from a landline
Appreciate there is already a thread on Sky Sports, but thought it might help a few Bears save money to highlight it.
You can now pause Sky Sports payments with immediate effect either from the link below or from the App. All 11 Sky Sports channels plus recordings will still be available to watch and payments will resume when the action returns.

Same mate. All I've got any time I've tried since yesterday.All I’m getting is a circle going round and round
mines does the same,trying to book a car service with arnold clark. so might be a fault in general not just sky.keeps failing for me after i confirm ive read the t’s & c’s and hit confirm order. Doing my head in
Same thing for me.Had to call them. Link just spins round and round for eternity
I phoned to cancel my whole subscription.
And they said im not allowed as they dont have enough staff....... but i can upgrade if i want
I Got the deal a few weeks ago sky sports and bt sports for £47 per month. Do you reckon I will lose this if I pause mine?I'm on a cracking deal for the full works.
Pausing then leads to me eventually losing this deal when I put sports back on and my bill goes up.
I'll continue to pay what I currently do without pausing.
Same thing for me "more expensive to change it"I've been trying to get through to Virgin for days. Got them on live chat and after going through 30 minutes of nonsense was told that they could give me £7.50 off a month. Or I could remove sports and movies which would increase my payments by £7 . Told them to cancel the lot. That can only be done over the phone haha
