    HERE you go (parts are almost a direct copy of BT's increases a day earlier).
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    I received a letter from Sky containing details of the 2/10/2009 price increases on Saturday.

    Nobody lets you ring 0870 for "free". Especially Sky. If it were truly free then it would start with 0800 and even then it would be from a landline only. No T&Cs, call plans, subscriptions or any other hoops to jump through. It's marketing which people here like to embelish with the word "free".

    Just to be clear, it's not "free".
