I have considered it, but not ready to give up F1 yet.
The sport is also available via Now TV for £15/day or £35/month, £156/6 months. No need for a Sky package at all. https://www.nowtv.com/sports-purchaseI called up the other day and got the hard retention sell (25% discount). Out of courtesy to my wife I deferred the decision for her to check she was happy to cancel in spite of the offer (for us this is a joint decision).
After nearly 20 years we’re going to cancel because the pricing is now taking the piss. We will also switch to Now TV for the sport.

If it’s just F1 you’re after, Sky do a monthly rolling contract at £15/month, with only 31 days’ notice required to quit. If you could be bothered, I guess you could serve notice immediately, then re-sign for another month the next time you want to watch a race.
They don’t make it that easy to find, they’re trying to get you to sign up to all sports on a new 24-month contract.

My only internet access is via my phone, so i'm not sure that would work well.AndyDubbya said:

Thanks, I'll look into that. They don’t make it that easy to find, they’re trying to get you to sign up to all sports on a new 24-month contract.

And before you ask i helped out in a food bank and they are great for those absolutely on their arse.
Sadly there is a section of people who exploit it to save for holidays and have sky etc etc....
Sky knows their market is covered in a protective blanket.

I’m intrigued how the other poster is managing £20/month, I haven’t seen a decent Now offer for ages. I remember the good old days when Shell garages used to give you Now vouchers to let you watch the F1 free…
