Ditching Destiny, switching back to Sky Cable

Posted on June 26th, 2010 by Calvin | Viewed 252 times

That’s it. I did it. Called up Destiny Cable and had my subscription cancelled. We still have no cable for weeks (missed the NBA finals because of it) now despite calling them twice about it already. I don’t care because it’s goodbye Destiny for me.

Funny thing is that the person I talked to just don’t give a damn. Hahaha. He didn’t bother asking me why I’m terminating their services. He just said “Ok” and that my subscription will end on the 30th.

Now we’re going back to Sky Cable.

The reason why I left Sky a couple of years ago is because their rates were high when they went digital. Now, they got the Plan 280 which gives me the basic channels plus Basketball TV, Star World and my wife’s favorite Cinema One… err AXN (Amazing Race Asia hurry up). The only thing not included is HBO and Star Movies which is not popular these days in the world of torrents.

I think a lot of people can live with Plan 280 so if you only have one TV, Sky Cable’s the more practical choice.

The price for subscribing is:

P2000 for the installation fee (because of the digibox which I think is refundable when you surrender the box)
+ P356 for each additional TV
P280 monthly (for the Plan 280)
+ P250 monthly for each additional TV

Since we already have a Digibox during the prepaid Amazing Race Asia days, I don’t have to pay for installation fees. Good thing that our second TV is broken so we don’t have to worry about paying for extension. Hahaha.

So it’s P280 monthly for me compared to Destiny’s P500 monthly and hard-to-reach customer support.

Tia… Tagalog movies galore when you get back.

Hahaha. I think they were taught to not ask questions why people would cancel the subscriptions cause they might just get more frustrations from the customers saying “Eh you guys suck! Walang kwenta! Blah blah blah!”

So OK na lang daw.. sige na wag na magtanong. Hahaha.
