[Jung the foreman]

Have sky bb. Never activated ss5 as didn't want to be tied in for 2 years. Just turned to ss5 and its showing just like other channels with no activation required.

By the looks of their marketing campaign and the feedback on here, there was no activation required, they just claimed that so people would get in touch and they might flog a few more broadband subscriptions.

Apologies if anyone was unduly concerned, just thought I'd highlight it just in case because I know if they did scramble it there would be a fair few unhappy punters tonight!

I never activated it but had access the other evening

I rang Sky saying I didn't want to extend my broadband contract and they said if you waited until mid August it would activate automatically to existing Sky subscribers and your broadband contract would be unaffected; and sure enough it was just on one day.

Cheers.

If you took the deal you are only locked in for 18 months not 2 years. (12months if you're a new customer)

Activated it via the sky website, without adding the broadband . The broadband thing is a con , they are trying to get you to sign up for two years even tho they only have chimps league for 1.

Well we have Sky broadband and the massive con part of signing up for 18 months meant we now have free broadband.

Huge con that, Sky the biggest cunts in the world etc etc

I'm not on about the broadband, it's t he cost of having sky sports, you only keep the free broadband if you keep up the sky sports subscription for the whole term. And as sky only have chimps league this season not next you are tied to sky without chimps league next season.

Has anyone activated Sky Sports 5 on Sky without taking the 2 years free broadband offer? I want to know if this is possible / how to do it if anyone can help? I've tried googling it and can't find the answer.

It's possible, I have done it.

I just called them up and said I didn't want the broadband and that was it.

Same here, it's not a problem.
