Smooth Operator 10 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Want multiroom and hd upstairs and down, got no problem getting the one hd box for the main connection downstairs but don't think they'll give me the second one for nowt, anyone got any good blagging techniques that have worked before? Got full package and would be increasing monthly bill by about 35 quid so surely it's in their interest to play ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBass 2353 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Threaten to leave and get put through to the retentions department Aye did that few months back and got put straight through to disconnections! Don't think blagging techniques make an iota of difference. At the end of the day it's just down to pure luck on who answers your call and 9 times out of 10 times you'll get one of the mongs from the call centre who are incapable of thinking for themselves and just witter off the standard spiel. As you're only after a new HD box for nowt, it might just be better to explain you're thinking of getting multi-room but don't have another HD box and currently can't afford to pay the £200 (or whatever it is these days) fee upfront. Seeing they're giving the older HD boxes away to new customers I can't see them having too much of a problem with it... unless you're after the new 1TB box for free.
