Sky pay as you go
I cancelled Sky’s Anytime Extra ( now £120 p.a. ) and was moved to pay as you go, on an 18 month contract ! How does that work ? The same agent wouldn’t let me cancel my tv contract even although I’d offered to pay any penalties. Am I alone with these results ?

Sky price hike
Despite being only 11 months into my 18 month contract I got a letter yesterday to tell me that my Sky bill was going up by 6%. I was under impression with other companies that legally they could only change it by the RPI amount (1.4%) - are Sky bound by the same rules and if so does this mean I can negotiate my contract ?

My elderly parents are currently paying for broadband which they no longer use, as dementia means that they have forgotten what to do.

Have the money saving days on Now TV ended?
Around 20 months ago I ditched Sky TV and switched to Now TV. This saved me around £40-50 per month. Since then, I have continued to save by buying cheap passes or accepting offers when cancelling passes. On average, I have been paying £5-10 per month for the Entertainment and Cinema passes. As a worst case scenario, I…

Early upgrade then ditch?
So I’m in contract with EE until 28th April and I intend to terminate it then. But, they’re offering me a ‘fee-free’ early upgrade from 28th Feb. Can I take a SIM only deal on 28th Feb, then cancel within the 14 day cooling off period and in theory, terminate much sooner than 28th April? 😃
